Re: Project 'Kickin Wing' (No Limits/Hotchkis/PorterBuilt/LS Power)
68 narrow rear end, wheels are 5.5 backspacing and running a 1 inch spacer to compensate. That is the minimum backspacing eagle would spec on this wheel. Kind of a bummer as a 4.5 inch backspacing would have looked killer and i'm not to fond of the spacers, but for the price I cant complain much. A true custom wheel just wasn't in the cards.
The front worked out pretty well, No rubbing lock to lock except for the tire barely touched on the swaybar just as the rack was hitting its stop. The swaybar needs to move back on the frame a bit anyways, I mounted it little too far forward on the frame and the endlinks are on a bad angle. So once i get it moved back it should solve the issue. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project 'Kickin Wing' (No Limits/Hotchkis/PorterBuilt/LS Power)
Been a while since I have posted an update. We have gotten a few things done in the past couple of months.
New cab floor ![]() Lower door pillars and kick panels ![]() Lower hinge brackets from Nsane Hot Rodz, mine were stripped out and rusty ![]() ![]() Shaved firewall, at this point I was waiting on AC bulkhead so heater hole hadn't been filled ![]() Started bodywork on some other parts ![]() At this point updates will be slow as it will mainly just be bodywork for a while. I am strictly working on the cab to get it painted where I can get it back on the frame and start doing some wiring and things like that. |

The progress looks great. The floor replacement seems like a pretty big step.

Re: Project 'Kickin Wing' (No Limits/Hotchkis/PorterBuilt/LS Power)
Awesome work on the cab! I really like the full floor replacement. In hindsight, I think it's probably the best option for a really rusted floor.

Re: Project 'Kickin Wing' (No Limits/Hotchkis/PorterBuilt/LS Power)
Looking good. Good to hear on the floor as that's the route I'm likely to take rather than trying to patch here and there.

On a side note: don't fit your doors until after you do the floor. I know common sense would tell you this, but I only planned to do patches so we had already fit the doors. Once the floors were finished the gaps were a little off. We had the cab well braced, but it likely shifted a bit when we layed it on its back. It wasn't anything major, just enough to move the gaps around a bit. |

Beware, anything I post is usually a what NOT to do! I'm excited to see some more progress from your build.

Re: Project 'Kickin Wing' (No Limits/Hotchkis/PorterBuilt/LS Power)
Question for the guys following the thread. I originally planned to go without inner fenders so I kept the original hood hinges. Now, I am doubting that decision and was curious if you knew of any options that might work for me with the original hinges?
I know slosh tubs require porterbuilt style hinges, and the original ones obviously wont work due to the drop and width of wheel/tire I am running... |

Re: Project 'Kickin Wing' (No Limits/Hotchkis/PorterBuilt/LS Power)
How much did that No Limit wideride drop the truck? Like 5"? or is it more than that? I'm running a 5" front drop with stock inners and have slung my truck into some wicked turns and accidently hammered it over a few bumps and haven't bottomed it out or rubbed yet, and that's with a chubby 454 up front. I'm running a 19x9", 6" bs & 275/35/19 that are 26.5" inches tall with 35 psi in them. Hotchkis 1500# springs, 2.5" drop spindles & Chris Alston DA shocks.
I went back & forth on the inner fender/hood hinge deal myself - stock vs. slosh tubz vs hills rod & custom vs none, but I really didn't care for the looks of the PB hinges or the Slosh tubz. For some reason, I just had my heart set on the Ring Bros hinges, so that meant no inner fenders or stock ones. Running no inners really wasn't an option because I didn't want to trash all the work I put into getting my engine bay the way I wanted it. I do really like the Hills Hot Rods inners, so if I had it to do over, I'd buck the form over function adage and run them with PB hinges, then I could've run a little less backspace on my front wheels. You may have already, but if you'll check out Chris Smith's build (user Chris67GMC) he had his stock inner's in and was using a Wide Ride on air. Don't know if that's still the case now. You can probably hit him up and get some help, he's who I ordered my Ring Bros. hood hinges from and was really good to deal with. Sorry for the long winded post, let us know what you come up with!

What is the lower hinge bracket that you showed in your earlier pictures?

I like the look of meaty tires with no inners but worry about dents on the firewall and hood, also the noise reduction. If I thought it would even be close I would give the factory wells a shot, but I am thinking no unless I am willing to sacrifice some drop. Thanks for the info! |
