Started the tear down. Finishing up a few welds on the cab. Getting ready to spray the lizard skin. I'll be doing a comparison before and after vid for temp and sound. Thought this looked bad ass.

So last Tuesday and Wednesday I sprayed the Lizard skin Acoustic and thermal insulation in the cab. Nice product easy to use and it really makes the cab solid. Carpet will eventually go over this.
I should have my before and after video put together by the end of the week. Attachment 1445025 Attachment 1445026 |

After a nice camping Labor day weekend. I started building the bed lift and messing with the inner fenders that will lift with the bed. I'm using some stainless piano hinge across the front and 1.5"X 1/8" angle for the frame to hold the wood together. The inner fenders are trailer fenders.

Looks good lower50's. Great idea, everyone is interested in what the rear set up looks like.
Is this the air tank you have? Taking your lead I ordered two. |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Thanks AD. Yes those are my air tanks.

Today I finished the bed lift and inner tubs. I could not get the hole fender to lift without hitting everything. So I cut the fender and made a front and back part that stay with the box sides. Then I made a filler piece for the inner part.

Here it is open and closed. The moving fender over laps the non moving fender by 3/4" and I will add come kind of seal. I made up the rear supports and added a guide pin with a rubber pad so it keeps everything tight and stable. Now I just have to figure out what I want to lift it. Me, air, gas shock.?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
nice work. So your lifting bed to fill fuel or adding fill through bed? I personally like having the bed removable so you can access air components etc, but if you gotta lift bed to fill fuel, than hinging it isn't a bad idea.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
great work !
use a good strong air shock -----save your back |

Today I made the rear splash pan. Took way longer than I expected but turned out great. You can see the big hole for the 7 pin trailer plug. The 3/8" holes just to the inside of the mounting bolts are for some L.E.D. lights I'm using for reverse lights.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Great work on everything. The lizard skin looked like it turned out great. Did you happen to get anymore pics of that crew cab IH that was at that show? That thing is sweet.

Thanks Dieselwrencher. Ya real happy with the way the Lizard skin turned out. Gives a water proof barrier too. Yes it was at the show. IH info: he swapped in the quad cab, it is IH from firewall forward and it did have my 7.3L idi. I'm not sure what it has now. Frame is 2X6X1/4" used as air tank. Also has a Dana 70hd. Same diff as I have.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
the ass is looking proper.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Did he add the large truck hood to it? I haven't seen any large trucks down here be a crew cab. Definitely a cool rig! Did you go with the sound deadner version of lizard skin?

Today I made some side splash aprons. I made the passenger side in 3 pieces so I could get them into place the way I wanted. Drivers is one piece. All 20ga sheet. Definitely looks good covering the 3" exhaust pipe.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Lower, metal work looks good. I really like your video of the before and after. Used Lizard Skin on my truck build and wasn't that impressed. Probably because I didn't have a thick enough film buil up. It made a big difference on the sound in your truck. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to put it together!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Thanks AD. I really made sure I was putting it on according to there instructions. I got .040" of each product .080" total on all surfaces. Sorry it didn't work out for you the stuff is not cheap.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
This weekend I picked up some gas shocks for the bed and put them in. I'm happy with how they work and they lift higher that I was hoping. Quick vid.

Last night I pulled the front clip off to finish up some stuff on the fenders before paint. You can now see how all this motor fits in the big front end. I also started scraping off the crud from inside the fenders, the vibrating scraper made quick work of it.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
The gas struts worked really well. Nice design. You mentioned paint...whole truck or inside of fenders? That vibrating scraper looked pretty handy...now I NEED one...lol.
Great build, really enjoying tagging along. |
