top quality work man!

 

i coming to getter perty fast. it looking good

 

Must be nice having a lift. Looks good man

 

Thanks guys.

It is really nice having a lift. I never want to go back, and I wouldn't mind another one. It comes with all those sweet bills too when you have a shop.

 

U may have posted earlier in the thread and i missed it but ima ask anyway, Why did u narrow the front clip?

Great work. Frank was badass cant wait to see this one done

 

Because the early trucks have a narrowed body than the new ones by a few inches, but they have the same track width. Lets me turn a little more.

 

I wish my company cars were cool like this is gonna be.

 

MMMMM AHA!! i get u. forgot about the width differences

 

Ya I used to know the numbers, but once you get to the 90s trucks they are significantly wider (and roomier). I hated how limited my turning was on Frank, and I hated driving with the front end high. So I'm trying to fix that issue this time around. It may prove to be an issue with the booster and other things. But I wont know that until I get the arms and stuff on.

 

Yea that makes sense. Sucks losing turn. Thats the only thing im guna hate bout baggin mine

 

My neighbor was powder coating stuff for his truck, and asked if I had anything small I wanted silver. Only thing I could figure was ready was spindles. So I stuck my balljoints in and measured for a spacer, machined one and welded it on. Looks better than stacking washers to line the cotter pin up. They should be silver tomorrow.

 

Spindles are powdercoated silver, read to go on. Lower arms are almost done. Plated the bottom of the notch Bob started so I could place the axle and start building the links.

 

Nice work!

 

Are you done yet? Lol looks good man

 

Thats what i call custom fab i wish i had the toolage to do the rear notch to mine, learned how to do it at Wyotech, but i dont have the equipment or shop space. looks like fun.

 

Bob did the notch, all I did was finish the bottom of them off since he just did the top and sides. If I did them they would look more like the crossmember. My style is just simple and effective. I do like the way they flow with the frame, but one of them is pretty crooked. I'm trying not to let it get to me, because I want to fix it. But its a lot of work and I am trying not to snowball this thing, and having a hard time doing so!

 

Nice work like always. Hey just wondering but what color you going to paint it?

 

I'm gonna leave the body as it sits. Trying not to get too involved in this truck.... Its obviously working, lol.
