Stripping the rear-end....

Okay... that title came out a little strange.  Sorry. 

We picked up a used Ford 8.8 rear end for the new chassis for our ISIS F100 truck.  As we've mentioned in other posts, we're doing everything that we can to modernize this truck.  We're going from drum to disk brakes, upgrading the suspension from leaf-spring to independent with coil-overs, going from a carburetor to fuel injection and we wiring the truck with our ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System. 

We've been picking away at the suspension and chassis modifications over the past few weeks.  This isn't going as quickly as I hoped but we're making progress. 

We stripped all of the old Mustang suspension parts off of the rear end and sent it out to get media blasted.  KVM Blasting is just down the road and the do great work.  We'll have this back Monday.  The new axle shafts are sitting here under my desk with a complete rebuild kit for the bearings and seals. 

The next step is to grind off the old Mustang hanger brackets from the quadra-bind and start layout the Heidts components. 

Stay tuned for more...
