I applaud your outstanding vision, design and fab skills - your rig is bold and different

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Thanks man i really appreciate it! Theres a huge learning curve and im doing my best to make a one off suburban so well see how it all turns out...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Started on the other side of the chassis...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Just a wide view pic.... Trying to make there mirror exacts once the chassis are done i will tie them together and start to build my motor and body mounts ect

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Amazing.... simply amazing.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Thank you for the kind words sir. Im only 26 so theres a huge learning curve cause this is the first time ive ever taken on somthing like this....

Any advice from members like you is greatly appreciated (execpt for your small block theory!). A huge majority of the individuals on this forum are light years ahead of me with a wealth of knowlege that i would love and be honored to tap into as my build progresses... thanks again man

Just getting the center part of the chassis together... still trying to make sure everything lines up.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Chassis almost done!!!! Time to pull the bottom one off and tack the chassis to the table to make sure its all level and get ready for full weld.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Just about there just finishing up some of the bottom

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Hold Coped tube batman!!!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Just more progress...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

yay! finally done, just need to fully weld it together!!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Has taken 77 hours to get to this point. I figure it will be another 3 or so hours to weld together depending on how much the frame wants to flex and oil can. Id love to complete it all together ready to powder coat in 90 total hours...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Great work! There are a lot of cutting and fitting in these pics! Man you have talent and big kahones! :lol: By the way, sweet car next to the lift!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Haha thanks man! Yea ive basically become best friends with a bench grinder. All of the notches are done free hand so as the project went along you learn some tricks. Primarly whatever you think you need to take off, material wise, grind off about half and test fit haha!
The car if its blue is a 71 challenger rt with a 383 stroker. If its a truck then its a 59 chevy fleetside with a crate 350 regardless thanks!

I know about take about half off other wise you end up with a pile of tubing that is worthless to anyone other than the scrap pile. :lol: Yeah, it was the Challenger. I'd love to have one some day!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Haha! Yea i learned from the first messup to always cut the long pieces first that way if and WHEN you mess up you can use that piece on a short piece.

So started welding the chassis together and its just taking a bit of time cause just want to make sure it doesnt warp real bad by heating up. So the technique is just weld a few joints then do some body work and let it cool down. When body filler is applied while waiting for it to harden weld a little bit more ect.

In the mean time i transfered the body from my house where alot of the work was done to it and brought it over to my friends shop so that i would have a bigger spot to work on it as well as making the chassis mating alot easier.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Body transfer

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Out of garage!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Getting it into the shop

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Body mounted to old frame. Just sitting on top for now

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

something very similar to this... You could do the gunmetal gray with the rivetted panels look. On something this big and awesome, I think it would fit perfect.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Haha there you go! A paint scheme like that would definatly be sweet! Probally be best to do it as a vinyl wrap due to cost time and the risk of wanting to change your mind eventually!
The color i was thinking was doing a 2 tone between kobalt blue and gun metal grey. I wanna powder coat my chassis gun metal grey to match the wheel color. That would make me wanna do the bottom half of the truck in kobalt blue. Then right at the first swooping body line right at the door handles i would bring the rest of the cab up with gun metal grey including the roof.
I was also think of doing the apillars between the doors in black and doing real tinted windows making it appear as one giant piece of glass! So just to clarify, the front apillar intfront of the window vent on the drivers side door and passenger front door would be gun metal grey and the middle apillars would be like a jet black... make sense? Shoot me some ideas!

mother of god...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

So i made my chassis a little bit too tall. The worst part is i knew that i was doing it but kept going which makes me the most mad haha. So im having to go back and modify it a little bit. Not a big deal, just a set back that i wasnt expecting... Ill throw up some pics here in a bit.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Wow thats a huge truck!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

I saw said 93 dually fenders? chevy dodge or ford? I am getting ready to build my low dually (only running 35's or 37's) I just need to know what fenders you had for sure. then the rest is up to the body man! lol

Awesome build!

Chris

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Hey chris! I just responded to your question on youtube haha. Ill send ya a P.M. with all the details n such but in a nutshell im not using the ones you see on the truck cause with the 54" boggers they end up being not wide enough and the length didnt work out. So i made some out of sheet metal and sofar they have taken a whole damn 4x8x.16ga sheet to make! lol Hope to work somthing out! Oh yeah and thanks for taking intrest in the truck.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Let's see some pictures!!

There all on my phone! Ill transfer them to a computer here in a bit. So just as an update, ive put the frame together as one piece. Welded in a buncha crossmembers, and have motor and mid mount plates for the engine and trans to solid mount everything.

I also moved my stuff back to my house from the shop i was working at, was just a little bit of a trek away and i barely got to see my wife anymore! At least with it at my house she can sweep the floor and choose what radio station every once and a while haha.

Project is coming along just is a daunting task.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Ok so heres the hang up i was talking about. When i got finished welding in one side of my frame i cut the tacks off and it sprung up significantly off the table. I knew at that point that the frame had gotten too hot and warped so heres a few pics of the first hiccup haha. I woulda taken more but i was in a bad mood from it warping after the first one didnt even though i tried to be very sporatic with my welds. Eh owell. I just gotta make sure the bows are going opposite directions so i can pull them back together

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Frame going together for crossmemebers ect.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

So the problem now was the bottom part of the frame where the bottom links mount up are too tall. The only part that upsets me is that i knew it in the back of my head the whole time but still kept building around it haha. So i just had to cut the top part off and deal with it.
