Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
I love the thought of the crew..... but I think it would be bad as a dually, although its a bit inpractical.:)...
Waiting to see progress.... Jeff |
Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
So will it be like an avalanche with the bed attached to the cab or a crew cab with a gap between the cab and the bed?

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
i think i would leave it as a tahoe and store it on the back burner or sell it...yours and frizzle's are the best 2 i have ever seen done, would be a shame to chop it back up.
but, on the other hand, you wouldnt need much work to get it into a crew cab. so either way it would still look good...man good thing this isnt my truck or dilemma, its already kinda making me think a lot about it lol |
Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
I can't wait to see it with the grey coys under that color body! That is going to look good!

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Well the time has come:devil: I pulled the motor and trans this morning and got them all ready to go into LowBuk. I also pulled the front clip off the Tahoe and will post that for sale here shortly, not the best shape but (fender well mounts cut out for the 20's) still very good for 67. I also pulled the entire AccuAir system out to be put into my son's F1 one day in the near future so I can stop lifting it with a C02 bottle. I will also be putting the tires and rims up for sale soon as well for a steal. My welding helmet finally gave up the ghost so I had some free time today to work on this but I will not get to cutting the body or frame down for another week or two. After that it will sit as is until Lemon Drop is here and gone for some final touches.

Tires are 305/40 R22 114V and 275/45 R20 110V, zero miles as the stickers are still on the tread. I think I was into them for about $2300 and the tires are from Americas tire and have the replacement warrantee. Looking for $1500 or BO for them. Kevin LFD Inc. |
Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
OMG!!!!!!!!!! I don't believe you are selling it Kevin. Hell of a build and worth every penny. I understand priorities first though, especially family. You should have no problem selling this.

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Just so we are clear! Everything you see in the build thread is included- minus motor and trans and any computer related items as well as I removed the entire AccuAir system for my sons truck.
So you are getting the complete 4 DOOR body and front sheet metal. Body is rust free and in really good over all shape. The rear doors need fabrication if you continue with my plan and the tail light area on the drivers side was cut out. Comes with front, middle and rear seats from a 2003 style tahoe and they are all mounted and braced. The front and rear suspension is all in but needs shock mounts made for the front and rear. The rear suspension links are made out of light material for mock up and now need to be copied in stronger material but all the joints and ends are their. It has a clean Ca. title in my name and is currently on Non-operations status. So for you 6k you get new rims and tires ($2200), front drop member ($1400), 96 C4 front suspension ($1000), rear 96 C4 suspension "Dana 44" ($2500) plus body frame and way too many hours to even think of listing. Yes I am smoking crack so jump on this before I seek help:smoke: Kevin LFD Inc. |
Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Someone is going to get a SMOKING f'n deal!!!
|
Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
looks like its sold..
i sure hope the new owner can continue a build thread on it, i would like to see it rolling under its own power! |
Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
SOLD! Yep it is sold and paid for. The new owner will be picking it up next Wednesday with his builder who is also a Lazze Metal Shaping grad. I have a good feeling that this build will carry on and turn out just as nice if not better then my plans. So stay tuned for more from a fellow board member! Kevin LFD Inc. |
Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
cool. Hoped I could scoop it up but glad it went to a forum member and someone who will take it to completion!!!

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Or up-grade and go to the C5 set up! Seems like years ago when I did this work. I am currently in Las Vegas at the SEMA show seeing lots of great new rides and products. The best thing that I have seen so far is the amazing number of rides with accuair's bag set up sliding them right down to mother earth where they should be.
That aside for now my new project is a custom designed (by LFD) 30's 3 window coupe and in this one I am running all 2005 C5 running gear with the 6spd trans-axel but running a 4-cam all alum motor. i do not think I would ever fight a C4 set up (except Nate's C4 drop member) into another ride again. The C5 rear is just such a simple well designed set up that it is a no brainer. Sorry if this post is off a bit I just spent the last few hours at a private party at Cabo Wabo and I am seeing a bit more than 1 right now. Kevin LFD Inc. |
Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Man, can someone delete this entire thread??? Every time I just get the Tahoe off my mi d someone brings it up to the top and reminds me that I should have just bought the damn thing!!!!!!
Now I have to kick myself I The ass for a while again, thanks!!! |
Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
I agree that the C5 setup would not only be easier to mount, it would also put some weight in the rear where it's needed. My problem is the torque tube. I found one custom install over the years (in a 'Cuda, no less), and they made adapters to run regular u-joints and a driveshaft. But I can't find anything commercially to compensate or replace having to section the torque tube. C5 rear ends are cheaper than C4s a lot of times, and you get a T-56, so it would be great if one could figure out how to make them work easily.
