LOL...still at my real job until 6 ! But then i am going to look at a super nice 79 front clip !!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Ha! Real Job! Anyway, I hope that '79 front clip is exactly what you're looking for and that you can get it for a decent price! Best of luck!

What, did somebody say it was beer-thirty?
:lol:

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Ya it's probably nicer than you'd want to cut up, but I'd take 300 for it picked up. I'll also keep my eye out for a rough one.

I'm sure this clip swap must have been done before and I've just not come across one yet?? Aren't the cabs a bunch different at the cowl?

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

We just finally landed the color so now we can proceed with the rendering !
Soon!
Lol, well not quite that ! But I do have some killer parts coming soon !

Man this waiting is worse that being a kid on Xmas eve:m6:..Jim

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

I think its way easier going form new to old on the clips... Hinge position is the challenge. Should be simple, ecpecially when you get to eliminate the hinges on the fenders because you just have to install a set of Tubz anyways

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

i didnt know about the hinge locations but they shouldnt be to hard
i even think there mounted on the inner fenders
if they mounted in a different location on the bulkhead im sure that there allready dimples put in the sheetmetal where you need to drill the holes as the basic cabdesign hasnt changed
i just know that in one of the two setups (think it was the newer style) where theres an extra plate added under the frontwindow to cover up the hole left by the shorter bonnet / hood
the one without the extra sheetmetal allso has the shorter stalks where the wiperarms fit ontoo to get them to duck under the hoodedge when in the rest position
not sure how they mounted that extra bit of sheetmetal , it might be there spotwelded in but the sheetmetal under that is the same old or new style

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

this is gonna be a sweet ride! even sweeter cause its a husband/wife build! but you know after her k5 is done.....your gonna have to build a custom squarebody dually to pull these 2 to the shows......

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

LOL, sorry man
thats what i am talking about ! i am excited about the clip swap !
we will see very soon !
thanks man, next will be 88-98 so i can do the Slosh Tubz for that bodystyle and work my way through all the years !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Do you guys realize how hard it is to design perfection? It's really hard work. I have the exterior design just about nailed down, and now on to the interior design. Ready to have a rendering of it myself.. :)

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

"Perfection"......wow she is TOUGH !! LOL, now you can deffinately see the standards i have to meet come straight from the BOSS !
