Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Pictures show the process for shadow boxing the jerry cans. Still more work to do but this will give you and idea of what it will look like.

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Very nice idea with the cans ,what are your plans to hold them in place ?

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Very cool build not a lot of the bigger trucks being built...

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
leather straps

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Yeah I was afraid of how good it would probably look, and it does. You should do a build thread over on expedition portal for this truck as well. Open your customer base up to more people and there are a lot of old iron guys over there as well.
Your build is so scary close to one I plan on doing after my 1 ton is done. I want to do a jeep gladiator in the same tan with white bonnet with Jerry cans mounted to bed on outside. Hopefully the extremely rare step side bed. CJ style hood hold downs. So to say yours is striking a cord with me is an understatement. I am really impressed with what your whole style is and not just on this one truck. I have visited your site and everything is just, well, ...... Perfect. Glad to have stumbled across what you are doing. I am in and looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Drill Sergeant's bed is coming along nicely this is a picture of the boxed in area for the Jerry Can. For those of you who are wondering, the jerry cans will be buckled in with leather buckle straps.

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Nice work!! One thought about securing your cans and the other items. What about adding some magnets in the back. Would keep them from moving around and scratching your brand new paint. Just a thought.

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Thats a neat idea with the jerry cans, keep up the good work and cant wait to see it finished :metal:

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
The Jerry can idea is great.

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Love the fabrication skills and out of the box ideas on this build. How are you reinforcing the frame to support the dump bed and plow? I was guessing you would box it in with some kind of really cool pressed holes in the inside plates.

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
I like everything about this build .

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Started mocking up the flares for the bed that will match the front fender flares. Will also be adding the gas filler that will be coming out of a Suburban.

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Putting new meaning to the phrase Like a Rock. I'm trying to style this flare not only to look like it belongs to the truck but looks really nice also.

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Looks really good. The fuel filler is on point as far as complementing the design. Glad to know there are people still out there that want it right for no other reason than they have the ability to make it so.

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
I love this project and can't wait to see it all finished up!

Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
Hey bud i just got a 70' c50 for free. I Plan to use a c20 frame and make it a lwb step side. do you have any advice for swapping the cab on the 20 frame ?
|
Re: C50 Pick-up Drill Sergeant
I like the rear flares. Looks way better than dropping a dually box on it.
