color looks good!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Thanks guys. Back out FINALLY!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Well done.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Recently discovered your vids on YouTube, then learned you were also a forum member.

Excellent work mate. Loving the videos.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Thanks SCOTI!

Russ, thanks for checking out my stuff on YouTube, and here on the forum!

I'm nearly a MONTH behind on the big edits, so I have at least 7 more vids in the pipeline before I catch up to ALL the new stuff I've done as well. I gotta plug my IG @rev_j_hd for the up-to-the-minute stuff on the truck. :metal::chevy:

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Updates on the bed and reinstalling a new Mar-K pan.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Hot n fresh video. More in the pipe dropping soon!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

A LONG vid for you guys! Installing a fire extinguisher, and 3 near-miss fire stories from my truck ownership.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Finally getting some of the pics hijacked by Photobucket back in line. I had to start from the beginning, its gonna take a while...but I'll get there.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Picked up a new tool to help out the back and hopefully make certain jobs a bit easier.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Getting the rear end modded up :)

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Getting some fab done on the new bed subfloor!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

New tools!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

More progress on the fab! Quick C10 update!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

More on the bed!
Also for long time viewers, I posted a Photobucket FIX on the first post in the thread so you can continue viewing ALL the hundreds of images and DIY stuff I've put into this thread over nearly 7 years.

Getting ready for winter in the Yukon

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Another quick hit on the #REBUILDEVERYTHING Yukon.


THERE WILL BE NEW C10 Update videos later this week!!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

2 videos in one week!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

a quick update on the bed floor

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Dealing with an annoying problem on the 99-06's fullsize trucks like my Yukon.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Them changes

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

I'm not dead, nor is my truck. Due to the photobucket changes, most of my updates have been coming via Instagram @Rev_J_HD since its the easiest and most direct way to put it out.

Since not everyone has time for my videos (even me sometimes :lol: ) I'm going to throw up some pics of various things, jumping backwards just a bit.

I had put the the bedsides and fenders on, as well as finished some touches on the frame. While I waited for other materials to show up, I went and stripped the peeling chrome off my indicator knobs, and brushed the aluminum that was underneath.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Since I didn't have the '66 fenders with the reverse lights (which is where I put the tail lights before)... I needed a solution for mounting the LED tails. I didn't want something obstructive and so I played with the idea of partially cutting it into the post of the bed.

The LED lights have a very shallow mounting depth, so flush mounting or partially frenching them into stuff is a bit easier. I ended up marking out the bed post as well as the light cup before making any cuts (the cuts are in the light cup fwiw).

Both cups were welded and after I hit the surface with JB weld so the whole are can be smoothed out and ease the work of the filler to follow.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

After the JB weld was smoothed on both joints, they got hit with filler and shaped down again. Once the transition was even and didn't have and leftover bumps from the welds or the JB, it got hit with a coat of primer to seal the work until the rest of the bed is ready for paint.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

I like the tailight mod.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Thanks Aerotruk.
I apologize if the pics jump around a bit, I'm trying to fit the updates into these 5-pic limit posts.

I needed a bed, and didn't want a wood bed or a traditional metal one either. I also need access to all the stuff under the bed (more on that later). So I started laying out aluminum channel to make a subfloor.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

I also took the same approach for the rear subfloor as well. Laying out aluminum channel, then welding it to make the skeleton frame to size.
The floor is (at least) 2 pieces, so the front and rear are removable independently.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Awesome work! I'm diggin' your tail light engineering there!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Nice!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

I like the aluminum frame....I should have done it that way...

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

After most of the fab on the aluminum sections was done, I picked up some support shocks and pivots so I could start to make the hatch I wanted.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Then I pulled them back out to paint the support frames, and so I could pattern the aluminum skin for the bed itself.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Really nice work!

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Once I had the aluminum cut out for the skins, I could use a pneumatic rivet gun to actually skin the frames. There was definitely some small areas that had to be touched up by hand with a file, but for the most part it all fit together well.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

I also added this little lift handle to make things easier, and cleaned up the pivot side, adding a thumb tab to the rod that the pivot uses.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Picked up a 1/4 turn pull latch to hold the bed floor down, but both lift and lock easily.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Your build is to me almost like: 'deja vu all over again' :cool:

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Nice work. I like the bed floor you did.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

Just when I think I'm out...It pulls me right back in ;)

:metal::metal:

Moved by attention back inside for a few, and took the cover off my Twister Shifter console. Its aged a bit and I need to do more modifications to it to accommodate other changes. Pulled the cover off, gave her a light sanding, and hit it with some textured black paint. You can also kinda see inside the shifter a bit for those who were curious about this less common auto shifter style.

Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq
 

I started to lay out a plate on my carbon sheet. This will become the switch mount panel for the nitrous stuff.

Came back to the shifter console and did all the lettering highlights in a matching blue, then hit the whole thing with a few coats of clear to give everything an even finish.
