Thanks bro. It is an experience. lol

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

Yep its definately going to destroy your bag twist your bars and hurt the bushings prematurely if you rock the lower bag brackets like that. I would also put a gusset along your lower bar since its round tubing. Also TEX MEX will be a show no to miss this year!

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

I was there last year. It was awesome. Wish I could go this year but oh well. I will make next year.

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

Thanks I appreciate it.

A little update. Not a lot done cuz of the weather.Either rain or butt ass cold.
Got the firewall bondo'ed and hopefully should have it smoother totally tonight. Will post some pics when I am done with it. Then it is off to planting the motor and tranny.

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

Looks good you think your gonna make it to the show in may

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

Thanks bro. Well, I better have it done for my clubs show in 2 1/2 weeks. I should. I am just about done with the firewall. Then I am gonna drop in the motor. Then it is just finalizing a few things to get it on the road. I will probably roll it without the bed to it though.

Got the firewall somewhat done. Still needs to be blocked real good before it gets paint. Time to start assembling the motor. Got the intake on and water pump painted. Gonna finish it up tomorrow.

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

OK got the motor and tranny dropped in. Time to start bolting on all the billet and the SD tranny X-member.

Looking good. Billet's gonna pop against all that black

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

Are you using 2.5 spindles? Do you get any rubbing with the lowers being cut? What drop did u get by cutting the lowers? Nice project!

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

you really do nice work. Can't wait to see the firewall... Wan't to show me how to shave mine ??

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

Thanks for the compliments. I am learning as I go with the help of some good friends in my truck club. Well today we put a big dent in the truck. We installed the compressors, fuel cell, mounted a few other things and notched the cab for drive shaft clearance. We also repaired that rust hole in the windshield seal. Here are a few pics.

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

I was told they were 3 inch spindles. Not for sure. I didn't get them new. as far as rubbing with the lowers being cut, not that I know of. I haven't driven it since I started the bag job. I will let you know, but I don't think so. As far as the drop from the lowers, I was told it would lay out on 22's. I have 20's on it and the lowers are laying on the ground.

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

Itas looking really good

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

How did you make the piece to fix the rust hole on the windshield corner?
Thanks

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

lookin darn good, those rear wheels just are sexy to look at with that width.

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

My buddy Eric took a piece of sheet metal and folded it in half to get the lip. Then he started shaping it in place. Make relieve cuts to get the curve and such and welded it in.

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

I am back on here now with a new username. I didn't have the same email and couldn't get the password. I got the truck on the road and running finally. I actually sold it and just got it back after almost a year. lol
I will post up some pics later.

Re: 1SIK69 build....

Here are a few pics. I installed a phantom grille since pics were taken. I just got a set of rally wheels to throw on it til I can get some 20's or 22's. I am gonna install a chrome brake booster and chrome master cylinder soon. Do a tilt hood. Eventually I am gonna Z the frame. More pics to follow

Re: 1SIK69 build....

Re: 1SIK69 build....
 

I just got the rallys. I need to paint them and buy some new center caps and rings, and get some new tires too. Then I will get them on.
