Re: Bagged project progress
Holy Crap! an Update!
Well, Summers been busy and the GMC got very little attention until tonight. This is how it has been sitting The Air Brake Hoses that Im using as short leads from the bag to the hardlines that im going to use copper for (Plumbing company is the family business). Makin the Front Bag Cups All done except for some some grinding and paint. Makin the plate to attach to the crossmember Front bag assembly being made. The brass fittings were changed a few times , they wont actually work how it is in the pictures out of the crossmember.

Re: Bagged project progress
Gettin there...
And Finally Back on 4 wheels for the 1st time in wayyyy too long Here is just a cool pick i took while takin a break Its good to get back into the Truck... but unfortunatly I only have the next 2 weeks to really work on it untill winter time. Look forward to some more updates soon though. The front is still 4 or so inches off the ground, but its only the bag thats holding it back....more cutting to come!

Re: Bagged project progress
Im down to about an inch on the bottom with them now, and Im also using a cup on the top too... but I need to trim that down a little more and it will finally lay with the bag installed

Re: Bagged project progress
I have 2 options, cutting up the upper bag mount, or using the upper and lower cups. There isent enough room for the bag with a plate in there for the front to lay out.

Re: Bagged project progress
Its been a while again, but started workin on the engine. My plans are to build a 383 after the truck is on the road and I have some more cash. So in the mean time I cant put a dirty engine in a shiney truck.
A little nasty So after striping the accessories off and spending wayy to long with degreaser, cleaning solutions, and scotch bright pads. heres the 1st coat. All the parts were sandblasted, or cleaned up in some way.

Re: Bagged project progress
How much did you section out of the crossmember? And how far is the frame section under the cab from the fround.

Re: Bagged project progress
Not too sure which pic you are talking about but yea it does just barley lay frame in the front, the rear is no problem. With the weight of the rest of the truck and engine i doubt it will be a problem.
There is 1 3/4 sectioned out of the front crossmember. The crossmember to the rear of the cab I also cut up some, but im not 100% sure the hoop is going to be highenough for the driveshaft when its laid out. Thats why ive been workin on cleaning up the engine/tranny (plus its a nice change of pace)
