Got some flatbed progress made!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dubie · 01-27-2003, 10:17 AM

I'm gettin stoked now!! Spent about 4 hours this weekend welding the frame up for my flatbed project. It's made from 3" C channel and measures 5' wide x 8' long. Just have to make up the mounting hardware so it can be mounted in place. I will post a couple pics once the sun comes up.

dubie · 01-27-2003, 11:55 AM

This is the only one I could get before the battery crapped out on our camera here at the shop. I'll get some more this afternoon

What's all that white crap

Looking good!

dubie · 01-27-2003, 03:07 PM

No i think you mean white sh!t!!! We got about 3" of it last night. I actually wouldn't mind about 2 feet more, makes the sledding conditinons a lot better.

look'in good tim!!!!

dubie · 01-28-2003, 10:01 AM

Thanks guys. The truck itself looks EXTREMELY rough right now, but I am keeping my eye on my goal. I want this truck done, painted and running by April 30th. So I gotta start crackin, as you can see I have a long ways to go.

Thanks for the encouragement

Hey Dubie,
Flatbeds do rule! The drop center bumpers make a good step to get up in the back. That funny looking thing coming out of the receiver hitch is a 3rd brake light, but it drops down to become a step.

Hey Frank, are you going to put a headache rack on there? The window and back of the cab look kind of vulnerable.

*Randy70C-10* · 01-29-2003, 08:15 AM

Somebody has too many trucks.

dubie · 01-29-2003, 08:44 AM

I am going to have a headache rack on mine made from 1 1/2" square . Gotta have something to bolt my stacks onto.
