Couldn't really tell from the pix, are you using the stock trailing arms?

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

Well progress I whish. Haven't got much done in like 2 months cause my welder died on me, and lack of interest. Finally got enough saved up and bought a miller 210 last week so now I can get going. Went to the junkyard this weekend and scored big time, I got a 68 grill for $40 bucks, and I bought a tailgate from a board member. So with the new welder and a week off coming up hope to get a lot done.

For NPilot1975 question those are the stock arms.

Zumo where do you live in hachie.

04 Orange hasn't lost any leg room. It looks like the trans tunnel is larger but still has the stock floor in the footwell area.

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

Well haven't posted in awhile on this page. Got some progress done. I spent a couple weekend's redoing the z up front. Know I have got all of the frame done and my brake lines run, just need to mount the front calipers and hang the front shocks. Been trying to collect every thing that I need to get it running and driving. Man all that little stuff adds up quick$$$. Working on the trans tunnel, and firewall now, so I can get the motor and trans back in for the last time hopefully. Major things left to do are plumb the air ride, wire the truck, and figure out my steering shaft, and reassemble the entire truck . I shooting to have the truck drivable by goodguys. What you guys think so far.

Looks good looks like if I zed my frame the 454 would have to go away...

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

Well didn't make it to goodguys like I wanted to, but I drove it down the street for the first time today. Still have a few little things to wrap up before it's totally drivable, but it was great to drive it.

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

do u have to have drop spindales to have it lay frame even with it z'd?

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

awesome truck and it looks great....where did you get that fuel cell? and what kind is it? that is exactly what i am wanting to run............thanks tony

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

That thing is coming right along... looks great!

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

What a cool project - not sure how I have missed this one.

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

The fuel tank is from speedway motors heres the link. Its the 11 gal. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/2530...num-Tanks.html

By using the spindles it helps it go down those extra 2.5" in the front.

Thanks for all the comments. I really haven't worked on the truck since I posted last just kind of burned out on it right now. I plan on getting back on it soon though.

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

keep it up

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

These projects can go through ups and downs. The first two years of my build I only really got stuff done in the winter when I couldn't ride my motorcycle. The last year I totally lost my head and put in 30 hours at work and 50 in the garage :crazy: !

My next build will be "all out low" dragging rockers like yours, love it!

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

Well finaly got the truck out and took it to its first show. I Took it to Goodguys in Fort Worth this past weekend. Got alot of good comments and had a good time. Sorry these pix sux.

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

Looks great. Glad to see you're finally enjoying her

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

Took the truck out again to a local show this weekend.

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

How many gallons of gas can that tank hold? Also, where did you get it? The truck looks good.

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
 

Thanks. The tank is 11 gal, and i got it from www.speedwaymotors.com

Re: 68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
