here is a picture of the general idea of what i will do in the back....with a TWIST , this panel will be a fake floor with all of my air ride and fuel cell underneath with a seal and a latch so it will keep fumes from coming inside the blazer, it will retain the outside fuel filler door

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

and another possible Slosh Tubz product will be a full door panel done similiar to the style of this forum members door panel with removable inserts to upholster or add speaker pods to ! I am getting Lots of great ideas !

Glad to have you along for the ride !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

yes he did a very nice job on those panels, i plan on making some and following the one piece style that he did !

Hey Mike, I get busy and miss yesterday's postings and it takes an hour to catch up! Congrats for the Scott's deal!

Those door panels are from a company called Rod Doors. I'm using a set on mine as well. Just don't have them installed yet as I'm a long way from the upholstery stage!

Who would purposely use stock style door panels if there were a choice?

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

hhhmmmmmm ok so someone already makes them ? Well i guess it would do me no good to make some then ! Mind me asking how much they sold for ? well i guess i can just look them up, LOL !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

$250 a set, well maybe i will just buy a set and modify the to my liking ! Thanks for the heads up !

No problem guy. The thing with Rod Doors, is that they stopped making them for a while so the supply might be an iffy thing in the future. When I got mine, that particular style was all the choice I had. They had made a better style called the Emmons I think, named after some customer's design, but that style wasn't available to me then. I bet you could design I better looking one!

Better late than never. If I had waited any longer I would be starting my watch on page 25

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

quote from there website :
DEAR FRIENDS,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOYAL SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS. WE JUST COULD NOT HOLD ON LONG ENOUGH TO GET THRU THIS ROUGH STRETCH OF ROAD. WE ARE OUT OF BUSINESS EFFECTIVE 11/04/2009. SOMEONE WILL PURCHASE SOME OF THE MOLDS AND CONTINUE TO PRODUCE A FEW OF THE MANY PRODUCTS THAT WE USE TO MAKE. WHO THAT IS AND WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE IS UNKNOWN EVEN TO US AT THIS TIME.

anyone happen to be coming from Tupelo Miss to Arkansas anytime soon ? I am looking at a motor and transmission and i would gladly pay someone to bring it to me ?

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Very nice!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Mike,

Have you seen this: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=555686

Thats a deal.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

i did see it , its a little out of my price range i have found a 5.3 and transmission with 40k miles on it for $1100....more my price

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

By the time you add it all up, there's more than that in it. Just a thought.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

That is true but most of the stuff i wont need, My wiring harness will be by Painless Wiring, and my complete front drive system will be by March Pulleys, my motor mounts are polished Stainless from Scott's so i wont need most of what he has to go with it , and i want want with less miles on it.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

You should put a comp cams thumpr cam in it. They sound awesome! Huge lift small durance so vaccum won't suffer
