1974 D100 frame off build up

[Dumpty]

Coated chassis sure are the best. My boss and a couple co workers we all build up these trucks. Boss did a W250 club cab Cummins truck, the chassis and axles, springs, were all blasted and powdercoated. Easily going to sell for $50K or more once its ready. Hes going harder on this truck than he had on the last few that sold for over 40K. Mine, Im building it up because its my first Mopar, and Im keeping it.

The only thing better than a short wide D100 is a lowered short wide D100.

Need a red x for the "lowered" part though. Is back lower than front on yours

Mine wont be that low lol It was low like that once and you have to notch the chassis in the rear or you bottom out easier, no thanks lol

No. I spent a lot of time making it level. It’s an optical illusion

Yup. I did a 3” notch in the back and cut the front bump stop mount in half (so about 2-1/2”) to get the ride quality back to stock at that ride height

I am going to build ladder bars for the rear after I'm done with the front. More Viking coilovers!
