You are almost there why make more work for yourself?:lol: I know I can't stop myself either! I had a hell of a brain fart the other day. We have a couple mid 40s 1 1/2 ton GMC trucks and not enough good front sheet metal. I was thinking It wouldnt be that hard to make a shorter version of a ww2 duece and a half using dodge 1ton parts. Call it a half duece. It would match my 42 jeep. Now all i need is a 4 bamger perkins for the jeep:lol: |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
:thud: you had me sweating there when i first read you were planning on starting over with the longhorn idea. I'm happy to hear that was just a previous idea before this masterpiece happened. good luck on the final touches, keep the pics coming!

No new progress on this thing. But the headliner did fall half down and I tore it as I ripped it the rest of the way off. Stupid POS. :lol: I'll be getting a new one now. |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Here's some progress guys! I got the RH frame rail support made, I smoothed out where I had to clearance the frame for the primary turbo, and got the front portion of the frame ready for paint. Then I painted it with POR-15 gloss black.

I put it on, but have to heli-coil the housing as one hole is stripped out. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...n/IMG_0040.jpg |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
what did you do exactly? looks like you fab'ed a "bulge" piece and cut out the existing frame rail? hard to tell with all that shiny black paint and the camera angles :)
either way, looks better than a decimated flange on the stock rail and a lot stronger Ryan |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
oh, i see better now. it sure looks like beef. i got all confused by the plate that the front crossmember bolts in with. made me think you had completely cut the stock rail.
