WOW great job Mark!!!!!!!!!!! Thats a loaded up truck for sure.

Livrat · 07-19-2011, 11:33 PM

Then installed the Burb/BLazer tank.. picked up all the goodies from the powder coater..

Livrat · 07-19-2011, 11:38 PM

next up I did the body work and put it all in high build primer

Livrat · 07-19-2011, 11:44 PM

Next came the base coat clear coat urethane.. And assembly!! Oopss.. discovered the "other body shop" did not get the paint on the cab the correct color. Oh well back up a bit and spray the cab too!!

CG · 07-20-2011, 09:00 PM

Hey thats awesome. Glad to see you finally got her all buttoned up after all the weirdness you had to contend with.

Wish I could get the Caddy sold, I would pay you to assemble my chassis and drive train since you have room now =)

Sicklajoie · 07-20-2011, 10:23 PM

Looks like my truck's little brother!

Sillyoldman · 07-20-2011, 10:31 PM

Beautiful

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-20-2011, 10:48 PM

Man, I love the fuel tank and the attention to detail! By the way, do you have a build thread for your crew cab build?

pat 70/71 · 07-20-2011, 11:11 PM

Ryan, Sorry I do not have a build thread for the crewcabs.. they been back burner projects, about all I have done is collect parts.. I am actually building two.. one on a 2WD 1 ton chassis which is in the preliminary mock up stage (pics below) and another one for me using my 92 Dodge 1 ton dually extended cab chassis with a 5.9 and AT..

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-21-2011, 02:31 AM

That's sweet! Be sure to start a build thread when you get to that point. I'd love to follow along in it!

jeremy zander · 07-21-2011, 09:47 AM

Nice,,great factory options

**RenoKeene** · 07-21-2011, 10:05 AM

Beautiful work! I can tell you take great pride in what you do.
My hat is off to you sir.

Vintage Windmills · 08-11-2011, 07:05 PM

Wow, any man would be lucky to own a truck that nice. I can't believe the options and then the fact its a 4x4 just makes it unbelievable. You never see trucks like that for sale!! Awesome work on the repair/restore!

Vintage Windmills · 08-11-2011, 07:07 PM

Also, what are the wheels and tires on there? They fit and look real well

Livrat · 08-11-2011, 11:36 PM

The tires are 33X12.50 BF goodrich.. the wheels are 16X8 billet Centerlines, not sure what model they are.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-12-2011, 12:18 AM

Nice job she turned out really nice..

dan42 · 08-12-2011, 12:42 AM

Exceptional work. Very rare nowadays. Whatever that guy paid he got a bargain. Thank you for sharing those pictures. I just wish there was someone around here that did that kind of work.

coggonobrien · 08-12-2011, 12:48 AM

what were the wheels? hummer?

HeavyD · 08-12-2011, 01:46 AM

Any chance you have a pic of the inside of the box where the fuel hose goes? I am curious at to what you fabbed up to cover that area.

Livrat · 08-12-2011, 11:32 AM

coggonobrien The wheels are 16X8 billet Centerlines.

HeavyD Sorry, I did not get any pictures of the inside of the cover, I used a factory Blazer/72Aux tank cover with a small box welded to it that I fabbed up to cover the door hinge. (you can see the little box on the bedside next to the gas cap)

HeavyD · 08-12-2011, 01:23 PM

That's exactly the pic I was looking for..thanks.

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-12-2011, 02:51 PM

Man, I keep looking at the pics of this truck, then walking out to my shop and opening my eyes, but nothing happens. Mine stays torn apart and not turning orange. What's up with that?

webfoot · 08-12-2011, 03:54 PM

Awesome job!

I love that push bar on the front. Any idea where could I get one of those?
