Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Hey buddy! I live in Atlanta, but once it's all done, I will drive everywhere LOL.

Old bed was sold within couple of days of removal. The front Z allows me to lay flat. Love it. I have 2600 bags from firestone, custom 4-link, and 3/8 lines with a 5 gallon tank. I have FBSS. Lays frame and can drive about .5" off the ground.

Thanks for sharing! Hope we can link up when it's running. Check my pics on pages 2-4. Great stuff IMO :metal:

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Totally excited about today!

Will be test-fitting the motor and transmission into the frame. Removing the cab so that we can function a bit easier....then we will ease the cab onto the frame and have the magic. I did get some goodies from Summit yesterday, so, I am definitely looking forward to this next phase of the project.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

what did you get from sumitt?

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

I got an external fuel pump, good for 120 PSi and 200LPH, a matching Fuel Pressure Regulator, and the the feeder for the tank (that will be shipped to me). I took pics of them, but I will include that in the update later today

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Did not get to work on the truck today, unfortunately.... :waah:

But I did order a few more goodies :metal:

Fuel Cell Filler Neck

I think with everything here, I should be able to fire her up within the next two weeks. Hopefully the driveshaft will fit as is...if not, we will get it modified or cut a new one and button her all up. So much to do, so little time.

I also ordered the fuel tank shave and the A/C firewall shave components.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Around a month ago, was your stepper on the road?? Coming down cover bridge road, about to get on 113 in Taylorsville? I do believe I saw you! Nice truck man!

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

are you keeping the tank in the cab or moving to a rear mounted one?

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Josh, look back one page or two....I have a very sweet 20 gallon aluminum fuel cell.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Looking good...what do you think the largest sized rim is you can put on a bagged stepside like this?

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

I have 20x10. "Made Bail" has 22x10.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Do you guys have pic threads? im starting a new project and would appreciate the help.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Just search my "name", or Rustspot Made Bail. If you narrow your rear and cut the bedsides, you will be good to go.
I now defer to Leon's originally scheduled coolness of build...

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Thanks Jim!

Jay, I hope you join us on #teamstepside. Yes...20s, 22s with small mods
I think we should form a club jimbabwe. Thanks for looking out :)

Certainly, Sir.
You guys are really moving along on the progress. Looks good!
I like the sound of #TeamStepside

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Looks great! Just wondering why youre not cleaning and painting the frame while its all apart? Just me but Id prob get all that done before its an issue! :)

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

I am. Right now I am only working on this on the weekends. Time is limited. Plus it's not at my house. Trust it will get done.

In addition, still mocking up the fuel cell, have to make adjustments to the front frame. Don't want to paint it just to cut it again.

Leon,

The build is comming along nicely! Looks like you got some nice goodies to keep you busy for a while! Thanks for the link his thread has a boat load of good info for what Im planning on doing. I am gonna make sure I do all my homework and buy the best of everything before I even touch my truck. good luck with the motor swap...Cant wait to see the finished product...i will hopefully get around to my motor swap in a year or so...Im gonna make my truck lay frame on 22's first then move on to the motor.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Thanks for your help Jim! Your were right his thread was very helpful once i finally found it. Looks like he used an s10 rear end to fit the 22's. I may go that route just to make the build less complicated. Hopefully once I get my new truck home from Cali I will be official #teamstepside I will def make the trip up to Georgia to meet up one of these days.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Wow! Leon, That looks great!

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56

When I see this picture I can hear the Jaws music as the background....Im waiting to see the finished project brother. Hope all goes well for you and Walter!

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Still making frame mods for fuel cell. But yes...there will be some prettiness going on.

Yesterday I got an upgraded Mallory Fuel Pump, billet fuel filter, Hurst Shifter for the Camaro... I love summit.

I think that puts my fuel system over $1100 so far, not counting fuel lines and -an fittings.
