Looks like a belated Merry Christmas to you! That looks great!

Re: The Old Duffer

Re: The Old Duffer
 

My Boyds welding tank came in today. What a beautiful piece! Kind of a shame to hide it under the bed.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Been trying out some ideas in photoshop. We're painting the truck one way the other so I thought I'd try a few ideas. It's a pro-touring build hence the splitter & air damn. What do y'all think?

Re: The Old Duffer
 

that last pic ^^ is awesome!

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Yeah........Sierra Fawn and White would be very nice.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Brent has made serious progress on the bed shortening.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Back together.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

and on.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

I decided to stick with a very similar color scheme. It will be a matte pearl white with same blue stripe. All trim & chrome will be powder coated the same color as the Forgeline RB3c wheels. I did a rendering of the final product in photoshop.

The old Duffer is taking a new Transformation, Lookin Good... Great job on the bed shortening..

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Very nice!

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Great job on the bed shortening! Looks sweet!

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Great work, keep the pics coming.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

The work that you are doing is top-notch!
Everything is looking awesome! I think that the pearl white/blue color-combo will look great.
I originally was gonna do pearl white & red!
The only thing is, I don't think that your truck will go as low as your renderings show, with only having only a c-notch in the rear....Just sayin.
What size are the Forgeline wheels that you are going to run?

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Modges, your right on ride height, It's slightly exaggerated in the rendering but the Forgelines are only 18's & we may move to shockwaves before its all said & done.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

How come you didn't use the other short bed you picked up?

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Looks great, as always! Wish I had some bed shortening skills. I just ran across a 66 longbed that I would love to do this to.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

That one is going on another project.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Cool I also shortened a long bed for my build however the way yours was done is probably a better way to do. Making cuts close to the edge is a smart way to day it as it will be easier to bodywork

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Got the new 9" Ford underneath it last night. Going with a Detroit locker and 3:89 gears. 335/35/18's in the rear & 295/35/18's up front. Thanks to Brian Finch for getting these axles ordered & adapting these Camaro Brembo binders. This things gonna stop on a dime.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

This angle is really working for me right now.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

it's workin for me too...lookin awesome!

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Getting the dash mocked up. I think I will end up taking the engine turn panels out and go with a brushed aluminum finish. all the outside trim will have a brushed aluminum look to tie in the brushed aluminum hoops of the Forgeline RB3C's. Going with the Alpine Double din apple car play head unit in the center.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Looking very nice! Great work. Hey how has the 250 been running? Did the fuel injection work well?
