Your project ADD is almost as bad as mine!

At least I'm crossing stuff off the list. Finished a bathroom renovation yesterday.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Thanks bro!

Thanks!

ADD? What A..D...squirrel!!....D....:metal:

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

I got all of the holes drilled for the SS strips that hold the floor down. Need to start working on the shortening and widening the wheel tubs. Once that's done, I will blow the bed back a part, finish some welding, and then will be ready for paint, :metal: I threw the topper on the square body. I think it might look better on there than it did on the 68.....;).

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

The bed floor looks really good!

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Thanks. I love your suburban! I looked for one for a long time before I ended up going with my 69.

Ok, I'm probably over thinking this, but should I widen my wheel tubs before I shorten them, or shorten them before I widen them???????

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Thanks Hart_Rod. Funny thing is I now have the wants for a 67 to 72 Burb.

Wheel tubs, my approach would be to get them to fit height wise and length wise front to back first, then I would widen them. I think to get there you are cutting them down and removing metal. If I widened them first, I would be cutting out some of what I did for widening to get the length and height right. I think....kinda tired tonight. Apologies if my thinking is wrong.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Thanks! I was kinda leaning toward doing that way. I have another set of new ones that should be here by Friday, so that will be my weekend project, :D.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Thanks guys! I'm just a 1 to 1.5 man show here (thanks Ernie,:D), so progress isn't super fast. My weekend project was shortening the rear wheel tubs so I can get the bed wrapped up and sent off to my paint guy. I got one tub shortened. It took most of Saturday as I was working on some other projects at the same time. It was a lot of work for just a small change, :lol:. I'll have left to do is finish up the welding/grinding. I'll try to get the other side knocked out this week. I'm also thinking about getting a fiberglass mold taken off of these. I wonder if there would be a demand for them? There's a local company that does fiberglass work and I'm going to talk to them after I get them done. Pics as always....:metal:.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Looks good, who you gonna have paint it?

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

How many tubs will you have used once finished with this project?

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Thanks. A local guy named David Perry.

4 total. Here's some pictures with everything welded up. Just need a little more work and this one will be done.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

I know David, That's Kinda how I meet You. lol

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

:metal:

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Are you still going to widen them? By the way, that plate looks all wrong on the squarebody.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

:lol:, oh yeah.

Thanks Seth.

I'm going to widen them 1.5" Steve. It isn't necessary, but I want to have room if I decide to put a 12" wheel on it later. I think the "lid" looks perfect on the brick....:metal:.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Those came out very nice! Good work!

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Lid, Yes.:metal: Plate, No. It's not a 6T8 or a ZZZ.:lol:

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

nice work

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Thanks!

Thanks!

Oh, that plate. You have to use a mirror to read it correctly ZZZZ 8T6.......:lol:
