Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

It looks great, it's really starting to come together.
What is your plan for the door glass?

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

it will all be stock suburban glass except for the small piece at the rear of the back doors I will have it cut by a local glass shop.

Thanks alot guys! I hope to get the body work on the cab done so I can pull it off and get to work on the frame.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Picked up my transmission from the tranny shop today stock 700r4 with a shift kit and a hydraulic lock up no wiring needed. Just one step closer!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Firm shifts and overdrive for the win!
Go team! :lol:

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

what gear are you going to run behind the 700r4 transmission. I picked up a 308 a while back for the future. I am planning on a 700r4 myself.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I will be running a 3:73 with a 28in tall tire.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I started striping the passenger side front door and of course I found more rust, it didn't look that bad until I hit it with the wire wheel. I will cut a patch out of one of my parts doors to fix it.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

That is a very nice door compared to most originals.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Amazing build man! A TON of good info and direction! I can't wait to get back to the lower 48 and start my build!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I fixed the door, I forgot to take a pic before I bodyworked it. All I did was cut a section out of the doner and used it to fix my door. Then I shot some epoxy on it, still need to shoot the other side.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I finished up the passenger door bodyworked it, primed it, blocked it then primed again. I am happy with all the gaps and the overall fit of the doors.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

That looks great!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Sweeeet!!!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

still fits and works as it should. I did not want to run into any issues once painted.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

What's your wheelbase on your truck.... trying to get within a inch or so of accurate just to see more of how much to shorten my chassis. Thanks Trevor

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Sorry for the delay but it's 148.5

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I haven't made any progress on my truck the 4th door is still bare metal.
I got side tracked on another project and it got out of control fast! I started thinking what i would change if i started my build today and one thing led to another. Its nothing about the look just how I went about it. I ended up with this

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Then i didn't want to go any further with it until it was solid mounted on a frame so i went and picked up a second long bed frame. Then after a ton of measuring and welding I ended up with this.
