Nice work on the frame and good luck finding a WT body! Looks like this will be another fun build to watch.

Looking good! You're lucky you can burn metal.

Your exhaust goes where the tank normally resides, I take it you have an alternate plan.

For a wide track body, I know threepiece has been selling off a lot of his hoard. He used to have some bodies. Not sure if he still does.

You can maybe message and ask him: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=8809

Also, this guy was selling a WT project:

Regarding the flanges for the rear D60, are you going with unit bearings? If so, what manufacture?

I looked at the site. Do you have to add a radial seal of some type or RTV to keep gear oil from traveling past the bearing and from leaking onto the garage floor?

link setup is 2"x.250 dom lowers and 1-1/2 x1.20 wall uppers with johnny joints , coilovers are just 10" travel universal fox 2.0 with 7/8" shaft
overall this should be pretty close to 6" lift so not much different than in the pic above , axles are wide trac width so tires will be inside the flares
