nice Ratchet strap job
Killer Deal bro! now get to work!
hey now it just had to keep it from rolling! It was pretty bad huh, but it did the job.
So for the front I was thinking of maybe going with radius arms instead of leafs. I would try to find some at the pull yard. What do yo think? The idea of out-boarding the front springs does not sound fun to me. I know it is easier but radius arms are pretty simple right?

Thank you. The pictures really make it look better than it is.
I still can't believe I got that deal!
The guy gave me the brake master cylinder for free too! Now I have some real breaking power!
Radius arms are not a bad idea.. search for Montero Arms.. they are pretty popular. Also Look into the Stuff that Rockware uses, and you can always swing out to the shop to see how Ben did the ones on the War Pig.
I like Leaf Springs for simplicity, and they work pretty dam good too!

I will take you up on that. Where is the shop? So did Ben do radius arms in the front and leafs in the back.
I like Leafs for simplicity and how they work too. I am just not sure I like the look of outboard leafs up front.
So I am thinking
Front - Radius arms
Rear - Leafs 63" or 72"?
Just found this thread, great work... for some reason I personally love welding sheet metal.
Ha ha, you're making me feel so stock.
It's never done.

Hey that input is on the wrong side. 
Looks like you did a nice job on the Lincoln locker.

oh crap!
ha ha yep, just welded and welded and welded some more!
Any pics of the radius arms & buckets? How long are the arms?
The rear fenders look great man. Keep up the good work!

from the mounting point on the frame to the center of axle mounting point it is 32". Basically the equivalent (my guess) to 64" leaf springs. Coil buckets are off an old f-150 I think. I'll take pictures once I get it all cleaned up.

chop the top???
Ok so i have been thinking a lot about what i could do with the top. Now that everything is under the knife anyway now is the time to do it.
Here is the idea i have in my head...
What do you think???

No. The wagon has so many other uses, and with chopping it that little you're not gaining much of a bed, but losing a ton of interior room.

Bobbing would be such a pain. New gas tank and all.
I would not loose any real interior room. Still will have all the seats.
Plus I would be able to use it as a bed to hall crap around sticking out the back with breathing in exhaust fumes. I have already shortened the big butt from moving the rear wheel well back.
Perfect spot for the 39" spare too.
Does it look to funky?
