As of late there has been a great deal of research and knowledge acquisition about the upcoming build of the new bobbed truck. We are now set on going with the technique of using 105 trailer frame sections and springs for the job. This method has been proven time and time again by many others like 100Dollarman in California. He has built plenty of trucks using this system.


We are going to take things to the next level and the Colonel may have to get involved in the engineering. We are looking for bomb-proof, safe and reliable. That's a tall order running 53's on a bobbed deuce, and we don't need 8 or 10 inches of lift; we are looking for the rat rod kinda look.

There seem to be a lot of advantages to using this type of setup. The springs end up outboard several inches on each side and this obviously creates a wider and more stable stance. We also get to use the overload springs in the event that if we ever need to load the bed we are covered in load capacity. Unloaded, the 105 springs have the same number of leaves but a different thickness of steel and different taper. That means a bit of a softer ride on a daily basis. 

Probably the best part of this plan is the fact that we have almost everything we need to accomplish this mission, as soldier A never throws anything away. 

There will be more engineering post to follow and all technical comments are welcome. We need all the help we can get.
