You want "new."

Nice work. What do you have for front susp? It sits way low for a 6 hole front & no motor...

hey cornfed63

ya if you notice there is a shot of one of the coils laying on the floor.. just pulled them out to see what it was gonna look like with the mustang II drop suspension in it. i plan on going at least this low in the front and back and maybe a little lower in front.

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-16-2006, 08:46 AM

Lokking good

keep us posted w/ lots of pic's

**SOON2BLAZE** · 09-16-2006, 10:46 AM

nice work! Got more pics of the GMC out front?

Brad · 09-18-2006, 12:21 PM

57sailplane, could you provide me a better shot of the completed radio area? I'm thinking about filling it in as well and wondering what this looks like.

57sailplane · 10-31-2006, 12:52 PM

hey brad

here are some pictures yet it is still not complete. it needs a little filler on the edge above the heater controls. and here are som pictures of my latest design work. i am step notching useing modified parts from a differant frame. you quys will be happy to note that these came off a frontal damaged truck what was left of her. just cab and frame. oh ya what do you think of my tranny cooler i picked up for 10 dollars at the same yard. this thing should keep my tranny cool its huge..

57sailplane · 10-31-2006, 12:55 PM

rest of the pictures

Brad · 10-31-2006, 11:58 PM

Thanks for the pics. I may do something similar down the road.

**Yukon Jack** · 11-01-2006, 09:24 AM

That's going to be a seriously bad truck. Keep us posted!

57sailplane · 11-13-2006, 08:03 PM

It droped.
I know not very far along but i did get somthing done this weekend. the front is coming down farther as soon as i get some mustang II a-frames.. i am going to build my own front cross member. this thing is going to be a coil over truck not baged so it will ride perty low for springs. you guys have any ideas on how close i can run the frame to the rear axcel with 150# springs.

JameslovesJammie · 11-14-2006, 02:32 AM

Dude!!! Haven't you heard? Filling the radio hole will make your truck worthless!!! At least that's what some say about cutting it to put a cd player in.

You better just donate that truck to me and I'll take care of it for you so you don't have to live with the shame anymore!
