Looks good...but your rear shackle angle is seriously out of wack. Flipped it should be pointed down and toward the back a bit.

I think iirc thats the only way the springs fit, although they measured really close to the stock ones. I dunno..Last edited by Gambler68; 03-21-2009, 05:13 PM.1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"

Yeah...either way I'm gonna take notes on how you handle yours, as my rear two are a bit chewed up.'10 Chevy Silverado 5.3L - The DD.

The stake pockets are the same as the Willys. Nice progress you're making.*** I am collecting pics and info on any factory Jeep Dually trucks from the J-Series at the new Jeep Dually Registry.

Yeah I cut a few out of an old MT tire.
I just took a 6' prybar and flipped the shackles up, sits a bit lower but at least it's correct now Maybe my shocks will fit now..1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"

Sadly not the progress I intended, but its creeping along. Just got this door done enough to mount, inside of it is painted black so that accentuates the shadows in door line..plus it seems maybe later doors had skinnier posts at the windshield line..quite a gap but you can see the rest of is lined up really good. Good enough for me! Tint is in good shape, these are off a 78 Cherokee. Door panels on the inside will be that desert camo that was floating around here last year
Those dink tires annoy me. I decided to go ahead and 3/4 ton it with the matching HD44 and D60 I have here in 4.10 gearing. saving up for cj perches and rear D60 disk brake kit (if I can find one for a dodge D60..). Although, if anyone reading has the guts to D60 drums, I'd do that. Mine came completely empty :/Last edited by Gambler68; 07-10-2009, 01:13 PM.1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"

Thanks Zack! Just got the drivers door done and should hang it tomorrow. Next is windshield and the cab is buttoned up.
Really at this point I am stalled with the front and rear axles, need to get mounts and weld em up. Hopefully by fall I can have it movable under its own power, and road ready by spring.1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"
