Looking good man. I wish I could work on mine during the week it would probably be done by now. 6 hours every sunday isnt going so hot for me.

 

I only get an hour a day on my lunchbreak mon-fri. Then all day on Sat.But yea... alot of work

 

Man its coming along nicely. You going to do mine next?

 

this is what i cut out :





I laid a straight edge along the framerails and drew the line and cut up from it about a 1/4'. After laying out the truck (no Z) I found that I have another 1/2' roughly to the ground. I'll post up some more pics after we build the new tranny mount and plate the x-member.

 

Heres more pics of step by step tranny mount as promised plus more...





Filler piece












Modified trans mount










All done and spray bombed... Hard to tell in pics but the nipple that sticks out of the bottom of the rubber mount is 1/8' off the ground when laid out.























Getting closer to the "DONE" look LOL

 

That is looking good man, hey so what you doing for the bed. You going to cut a hole or raise it?

 

I plan on just cutting out what i need at first , then building a cover

 

Sounds good. keep up the good work

 

Got some more done today... Some idiot forgot to accomadate the exhaust into the x-member at first... Got that done.








Got the valve brackets built as mine didn't come with 'em...





And wheel wells taking shape...




And last but not least my new shift knob my buddy got me at the last hotrod show. He's the one whos PROJECT MANAGER (...lol that's for him) and doing all the welding / fabbing on my truck. Hes gonna paint it for me too.

 

Thats different. Have not seen that one before. What color you going to paint it?

 

I'm leaving the paint job up to my buddy.

 

Looks berry nice man I like the 4link crossmember

 

Um are you not gonna notch your cab? Also I like your link crossmember kinda the same Idea Im going with but mine is a complete hoop. Hope to get a lot done this weekend

 

Thanks guys. Dunno what you mean as far as notching the cab goes. All i had to do was cut the little support rail out toward the back because it was hitting the driveshaft.

 

None other than myself burning some wire...







Pass side all done...














Count it !

 

Driver's side...

 

Huh Are you going to Body drop it?? I cut 3 inches into my cab so my driveshalf would clear. Of course I like to drag the ass end while front is up so I guess If you planning on driving it always flat then shouldnt be a problem. Sorry to ask, most people Ive seen do this.

 

No body drop and no z. With front up and back down driveshaft clears just fine other than the small support I was talking about. I don't have a pic of that part handy....

 

Is it maybe because its a standard cab?

 

Mine is a standard cab and we had to cut a lot out. Anyway man its lookin good, like the home made wells.
