thanx man i think i used 3/16 solid steel rod and just tacked it on from the underneath side.. it was really easy to do.. alot easier than fixing my jagged cut :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

btw i got a small update.. i decided one tank wasnt enough so i added another..
next step is to make a panel to remote mount the tank gauge and my new distribution block/fuse holder (the crappy plastic one snaped the threads off)

also prolly gonna move the quick connect fitting to one of the 1/2 ports on the tank.. now that i rethink that it will be easier to get to.. im gonna make add a ballvalve to a male quick connect fitting so i can fill the tanks using the big compressor in my shop if i want to save my lil compressors some work

anyway on with the pics

Looks nice Coulter! I like the final lip on the inner fenders as well looks super clean. I'm looking forward to the startup video too!!

hopefully soon man!!! im gonna start putting the wiring in the cab in the next few weeks so im not too far away

btw i mounted that tank higher up because one day i would like to add a hitch to it so i wanted some room to be able to do that

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Good idea. I have a hitch I took off, its really clean. Im not gonna use it You can have it if you'd like

A quick connect on your air system is pretty handy. I have a tire with a slow leak and I use mine all the time. I keep a 50' coiled air hose and a set of fittings and tire chucks in my ammo box in the bed and I use them more than I thought I would.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Groovy!
I am going to pick some up today.
I think it will add a little somethin-somethin to my underdash console.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

nice work, whats your plans for the bed floor?

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

ya it seemed like it would be super handy!!

does it hang below the bumper? i wanna make a hidden one that will be behind the tag

nice man cant wait to see it :metal::metal::metal:

it will be a dark stain with high gloss and polished stainless strips.. not sure what kind of wood im gonna use yet.. also gonna make the bed floor to where it will fold up in between the wheel tubs so i can work on it easily and show it off when i want :metal::metal::metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

It does but.... I think from what I have seen here on your thread ...you can def use it to make it into what you need. Good idea on the middle section of the bed I am def going to do something of the sort.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

panel looks great, and the way you described the bed floor easy access:metal: love the heater by the way.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

that's gonna look sweet man

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

just scanned a few pages of your build and wanted to start at the beginning but, alas, i'm at work and the boss frowns on using the computer for personal reasons. what's his problem?

what i saw really impressed me and will check it out this weekend.

whoops... someones looking over my shoulder, later dude.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

thanx guys :metal::metal:

:lol::lol::lol: thanx for taking a risk to check out my build :metal::metal::metal::metal:

im really trying to get it going in time to make it to ur cookout this year :metal::metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

got some updates

i went to the junk yard and got a bench seat from a mid 90s chevy truck
got the cover off and started cleaning up the frame and got it primered
here are some pics

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

few more

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

always such cool stuff! you will love that seat its comf-eeee

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Thanx dino!! ya i see alot of people use this seat so i figured i would get on the bandwagon to.. my factory seat was pretty torn up.. and the newer style seat is lighter, wider, and all the springs and stuff for the sliders is all mounted to the bottom of the seat so nothing has to attach to the floor

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Lookin' good on the seat resto....
Your build is always at the top of the charts in the cool section.:metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

thanx bomp!!! the same can be said about ur build too :metal::metal::metal::metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Looking good bro!... I dig the light in the bed idea. I might have to steal that idea :lol::lol:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

haha heck ya!! i got a small update
got my seat frame painted today
i painted it with some rustolium gloss black enamel and cleared with duplicolor clear and it turned out pretty smooth and glossy for rattle can

also in the meantime waiting for paint to dry i made a crazy mohawk spark plug thing.. it would make a really cool shift knob for a ratrod or somthing..lol
here is me doing the scareface face!!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

good work on the gauge panel and the seat, i have the 60/40 seat drivers seats the 40 and powered!! when i bought them i didnt even now til i got home!! are you going to recover the seat or have someone do it?? anyways keep it up, love the mohawk head

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Great job on the seats keep it coming....

Loving the Spark plug Guy!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I would like to find one of those seats too, and I still have time I suppose.

I like the mohawk too, very creative !
