I went to the junk yard today. Picked up a 89 van gas tank ($40). I think it a 27 gal? The first one I got was from a 81 it was a 33 gal. It fit between the frame but it sat up to high. Took it back and got the one I have now. I had to shave about 3/4 of a inch off the bottom of the frame and alittle off the front member. The filler neck was pointed up alittle to much so I bent it down alittle and drilled a hole in the frame. I going to put a door in the side of my bedside so I can fill it. It's been raining here a lot and the junk yard was a like a mud lake.:me2:

Re: Daverods project 66
It was'nt that bad because they pull most the tanks and just set them in the cars/trucks. Still had to walk around in it though. I love junk yards.:metal:

I didn't notice it until I took it out. Normally they aren't even in the car. This one was, so I thought it was OK. Oh well I can patch it. :dohh: |
Re: Daverods project 66
I can't make up my mind. Static drop or bags. I would like to lay frame but because of the money/skill thing it is'nt going to happen. I was thinking springs would be cheaper $119 front, $119 back , a notch $179, and dropped spindles $300. But then I was thinking I should put bag in and just don't do the tanks and compressor untill later. What ya think? How low would it be if I do a notch and bags?:crazy::baa:

Just as long as it was not red.
Was it a chevy ford.......... ? Any idea. |
Re: Daverods project 66
The c notch from LMC it does'nt say how big of a notch it is. I was looking at bags from airbagit. Damn there are a lot of different bags. I forgot about all the mounting stuff you need. By the time you get everything it is more then springs. I got all excited when I saw buy two bags get two free.

Re: Daverods project 66
I like the way the tank looks. How did you bend the filler pipe? I will have to look for and 89 van or maybe just buy a new tank.

http://www.djmsuspension.com/Images/...-8-300x201.jpg This is the monster notch. The right side of the frame is still stock. This is what you have to do to lay frame, plus a flip kit. http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/9301852_4kKSS-M.jpg |
Re: Daverods project 66
Notice I haven't flipped the axle yet.

Re: Daverods project 66
Just found a c notch for $117 it on the way.:two: It's just a small notch. ;)Not that I did'nt want the monster. :sumo: Now all I have to do is figure out springs or bags. The bags in the front just fit right in no special plates or anything? Why are the spindles from ccp so much cheaper?
|
Re: Daverods project 66
I'm pissed saw a notch on ebay for cheaper an hour after I bought mine.:lol:

Now if I could only learn somthing that would help me get my truck done. ;) Did you get the other side of your truck done or just pull weeds all day?

Re: Daverods project 66
That notch was done 6 years ago when I had my shop Sportruck Specialties. I used to show customers that picture to show them the difference. And how I was going to butcher up there frame. :haha:
My weeds are already picked. When I pick um, they stay picked if they know what's good for them. :lol: |
Re: Daverods project 66
I did'nt think that was your truck. I hate weeds too. :smoke: Most the time I burn them.:lol: Just kiddin;) Should get my notch Tuesday I'm:metal:

Got sick of sanding. I had an extra cross member laying around thought I would make a drop. It cut out easier than I thought. I think putting it back together is going to be the trick. A couple of tack welds and some of that good Rage filler should do the trick.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
It's going to be interesting to see how you will attach it to the frame. Where did you get the idea from?
|
Re: Daverods project 66
Just somthing I came up with. Not. It was on the XMEMBER FAB QUESTION thread.

Re: Daverods project 66

I never really got that far in my thought process. Wouldnt you just drill new holes 1 1/2" higher then the old holes. It lookes you would have to fill in the big holes?:crazy: What are the big holes for?
