Might have missed it... do you have wheels picked out yet?

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Probably gonna run some Delmo specials, not sure yet.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

What size are the Delmo specials? I know he makes them in a 20" version, but not sure of the tire size. I plan on running a set but need to know the overall height to spec out a cam.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

I'm loving this build. Did you run braided fuel line for the entire length? I'm curious because I'm gathering parts for my fuel system. I might have missed it, but what are you using for paint? I love the satin look.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Yes I ran steel braided the entire length. The paint is BASF , basecoat clearcoat. I've been using Glasurit 923-55, extra matte clear

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Trucks looking great! Any updates?

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Been a while but I've made some progress. I've temporarily got the bed back on the truck so I can make the new bed floor and get the wheel tubs installed. The new bed floor is going to be almost 10" higher than the stock one was, not sure if I'm going to go with wood or metal for the floor yet. I ended up getting a new Wilwood master cylinder because the old one was leaking , so that's installed and plumbed. I've done some other stuff on it too but this is all I have pictures of right now.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Nice like always,...

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Very cool.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Im saving my pennies to buy a full porterbuilt front and rear kit like you did.

few questions,

What rear end are you running?
What size tires do you have on right now?
What bags Front and Rear do you have along with compressor and tank?

This will help me so i can put it down on things i need. I think its better to buy all at once, that way it wont sit torn apart as long LOL

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Very nice.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

I'm running a 10 bolt out of a Chevelle, the tires are 235/75/15, I don't have a compressor and tank yet.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Got most of the bed floor frame built, and got the wheel tubs installed too. here's a few pics.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Looks real nice.
Kim

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Floor frame-work looks clean. Who did the tubs?

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

The tubs came from Suicidedoors I picked them up off of a buddy for 50$. I did alk the installation work, and bed floor frame.

Didn't look like the generic race car style tubs.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

this is one sexy ***** of a truck!!! that shot down the body lines is so sweet!

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Do you have any pictures at the ride height? I'm trying to deal with a wife who doesn't like the truck laying on the frame. Porterbuilt told me the ride height is 6", but I can't find any pictures from the side showing what it looks like at ride height.

Thanks,

Ron

Well it looks like I'm going with the front and rear setup for my '57. Nate wants to try something different so it should be interesting. Now the wait begins.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

I'll try to get a picture of the ride height , but the website hasn't been letting me upload pics.

What do you mean by trying something different?

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

I'm not sure if I can say. Something he has wanted to try for a while.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

It's OK to say.... coil-over set-up. :)

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

A less complex setup without having to deal with the air management system while dealing with a wife who is not a fan of laying the frame. Now I just have to figure out how to deal with the bed without her freaking out about losing a lot of it. I may try to have the bed at normal height and cover the rear suspension. I'd just leave it exposed, but need to be able to keep stuff in the bed dry. Has anybody done that type of a rear setup or is it better just to put a bed over the whole thing?

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Did you box in the inner frame rails in front or behind the notch? Pics would be helpful if you have them.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

No I didnt box the frame, there was no need for it.
