Removed the speedo drive and what was left of the rear grab handles, then got it flipped over and ready to remove the suspension. Moving right along.

The 340/S rails have been breaking at that point since 1975.
The load needs to be spread out at the end of that weldment.
It also appears that the limiter bolts on that front arm are missing.

Ok well this project is moving a little slow right now, have other things going on so hoping to hit the ground running pretty soon with it. I do have a couple pics to post since the last bunch so here they are. Got the chassis all stripped and got the suspension welded up.

Re: Ok, Got to get started on this one to........
Technically you're wrong Brian, it should read since 1974 as they broke during testing and we (340/S drivers) received information on how to reinforce the suspensions.400brian wrote:The 340/S rails have been breaking at that point since 1975.

Hey DA maybe it was just you breaking them a year early.
I mean we know your track record.
