Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks! No test drive soon. Still waiting on some key parts. I'm getting a rebuilt trans by trading some core trannys, and I still need conversion lines. Once I get some other work done, I'll hit this hard.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I used a steering box brace from a 73 up 4wd frame. The holes did not line up perfect on my frame. I don't know why for sure, but I took care of it.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

I don't have that kind of money right now http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i...milies/lol.gif

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

That's good because I don't want to have to change my mind again. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

If it was me I would hold off on the cab lights until rest of the truck is done, Id hate to drill through a freshly painted cab like that, too bad you don't have bumps for the stock lights.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

They're just setting there. I wanted to get an idea what they'd look like. I want cab lights on it but don't really want the OE style since I don't have the raised roof light cab. I will be installing these on this cab. Fresh paint yes, I'll just have to be careful. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Ryan. I don't like the lights... sorry

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Don' worry, you're not hurting my feelings. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

The lights look good. They wouldn't look good on a lowered 2wd or anything with a gas engine. But you are building a truck. Still would be hard to drill the new paint.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

If those don't work for you I am thinking of parting with mine.:lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Do what i do ....

I have a buddy that drills the holes in my new paint and hits my builds with hammers when i can't do it.....And i drill and hit his truck with my hammer....lol...it's team work. I have no prblems drilling holes in anyones fresh paint but i sure do cringe drilling mine

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks, those were my thoughts too.

LMAO! Thanks, but I think I'm going to pass. Those would be cool as tail lights on a street rod though!

:lol: Sounds good to me. I used to work at a truck accessory shop so I got broke in the hard way on drilling on new paint. I'd rather drill my truck than a $65k brand new truck that you know the anal retentive grandpa is peeking through the window watching his new running boards being put on. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

the trick is not to think about the money or the time involved , i been working oncar worth a LOT of money and things only start to go wrong when you hessitate or be too carefull

personally i wouldnt put the lights on there even if they look good , its just more holes it can leak through and rust out , maibe you can put something like bike indicators on a rollbar in the bed so they stick out a little above the roof and do the same thing

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

this

i used to build rock buggies and custom 4x4s and frequently they would have 100k pricetags. finally figured to quit worrying and things got messed up alot less. same thing with brand new out of the box parts that cost more than several paychecks. by the end it was fun to hack something expensive all to pieces.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

No problem Ryan, glad to help. We had the teamwork going too...:).. If I had the magic touch I would have had them install themselves... Yep, just jump right in there..:lol:

I can tell you his truck is looking really good.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

This ^ Not going to happen. These lights seal really well, so I'm not worried about them leaking. I want clearance lights on it, I like these lights, they're going on. Yes some people won't like them, and I can care less. Some people cry because it is a diesel. You can't please everyone and I sure am not trying to please anyone with this truck build except myself.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks Leon! How's those 2nd story floors going?

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

the more I look at that color orange the more I like it.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks, me too.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I'm digging the cab lights, what are they off of? I'm looking for some for my burb, the tint also makes them blend a little bit and they won't be as obvious once the rest of the truck is assembled.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Andrew, they are from a 03 up dodge and are recons. I love how these lights illuminate too. They are LED and look sweet! Plus the fit the roof really well.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I like the roof lights my self..

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I have never really liked the clearance lights, but those actually look pretty cool on there! Looking good Ryan, keep at it! Do you have an up close picture of the lights?

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

keep it up Ryan! shes gonna be an orange on orange beauty!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Now it just needs a big set of chrome air horns up there. :metal:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

yeah!!!!! :sumo:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

dont forget the cb antenna's on the mirrors and stacks in the bed

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Or a big pair of rubber balls hanging from the hitch. Now that would be classy.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

:lol:That started at the top and quicky went to the bottom:lol:
