I don't know who would be more ashamed of me; the Ancient Egyptians or Kevin from LFD. I know Delmo would be proud though..

I was a one man show trying to pull the cab off the frame and I don't have LFDs one man cab lift setup so I went the ghetto route. I blocked the cab up on 10' 4x4s and slide the frame out sideways.

In the end, I got the job done, didn't wreck anything... so I guess it's all good.

Also started to get the rest of the body drop stuff going but only got as far as removing 1/2 of the rivets/mounts as I ran out of cutting wheels and I shattered my chisel.

Will finish the rest of it tomorrow (hopefully) and will post up pics once I've don't that.

Thanks Darren, that'd be awesome. I'll give you a call when the day comes to get the cab back on.

Looking good!

Been away for a few days/weeks and it's nice to see progress shots. The wheels look amazing; money well spent.

Ray

stickelspeed · 12-29-2011, 03:51 AM

Hey Guys.
I'm alive. Thanks for the interest.
Del, you've got good spidey senses.

Sorry for the radio silence but I've been 100% out of the truck building business for the last 5 months. I've been 100% tied up with work (read: lot's of travel time away from home).

I have a couple of weeks off for Christmas/New Years so I decided it was time to get out in the garage.

Here are some shots of the truck from Mid-summer and the last time I made progress.

I trimmed the inner-boxsides to clear the wheels/tires, did the rest of the body drop stuff, ran my airlines, and decided to run brakequip braided/coated brake lines (it'll be an expensive experiment) and had those all built up to my specs.

I think that's about all I did since my last update.. here are the shots.

stickelspeed · 12-29-2011, 04:04 AM

Fast forward to today... I cleaned up my garage enough so I could actually do some work...

I ran my brake lines and got them installed up front enough so that I can mount the engine/trans and get the trans support positioned. I plan to do this tomorrow.

I hope to get engine/trans mounted and maybe set the cab on the frame tomorrow.

We'll see how that goes.

I took some artsy-fartsy pictures al a Delmo but unfortunately I don't have any cool speedshop eye candy in the background to really pull it off..

Anyway .. here are some shots of how things sit as of today.
