**67cheby** · 02-09-2012, 10:53 AM

i say no...too many other complications associated with dooring it....several more inches of clearance everywhere..just my 2cents

Cameron 1137 · 02-09-2012, 02:46 PM

I wouldn't door it, but invert the pinch-weld on the rocker and lap weld it to the inner rocker along with plug welds.

laid_out_70 · 02-10-2012, 12:39 AM

well its already overbodied, going to have an 1" of the rocker left. after talking with some smarties and visualizing ive decided not to. dont need any more delays. i want to drive this long turd

laid_out_70 · 02-12-2012, 11:55 PM

did some work today. first i pulled off the bed mounts, and finished filling and sanding the frame up to the wishbone crossmember.

also got the drivers side bag mount welded in

bat wings!

then gusseted the link tabs on the axle

jbclassix · 02-13-2012, 12:56 AM

I love this build even more now that I see that Eaton under there!

laid_out_70 · 02-13-2012, 10:53 AM

thats the rear end right? it a stock c20 rear end as far as i know.

laid_out_70 · 02-15-2012, 01:30 AM

did a bit today. first i cut top and bottom of the C channel of the frame to make them square. then i trimmed the rails so i had a consistant slope from the notch to where the frame rails will be Z'ed. then i boxed in the rails with 1/8" plate, stopped a few inches before the Z. still need to weld up the bottom, another day.

and a funny!

laid_out_70 · 02-16-2012, 10:19 PM

let the rust begin, lol

got the truck in, shaved up the holes past the notch and figured out my tank and compressor placement

**67cheby** · 02-16-2012, 11:49 PM
