Pics of some trucks getting back halved - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I stopped by a friends shop and he was in the process of finishing up some ladder bar set ups on 2 pre-80's swb trucks. Just thought you guys might want to see them.

bigblock73 · 04-14-2005, 07:49 PM

stepside454 · 04-14-2005, 11:43 PM

that 454 sprung a leak. looks really good, both trucks do, Id love to back half my stepside

bigarmzz · 04-15-2005, 08:00 AM

what size tires are on the black truck in the first pic?

looks like a nice set up (rims/tires)

Izzy · 04-15-2005, 09:04 AM

Damn that blue truck is sweet.

Russell · 04-15-2005, 10:27 AM

Yeah, that 454 has got a pretty nasty coolant leak off the thermostat housing :P

All look good otherwise!

AirMale · 04-15-2005, 06:15 PM

I wish I had taken some more pics for you guys but there will be other opportunities. Here's the only other shot I have of the tubs in the blue truck. I believe both trucks had 31X21x15's

SS79chevy · 04-15-2005, 08:48 PM

i want to do that to my truck so bad eny know about what it would cost?

87 Shortwide · 04-16-2005, 12:27 AM

That is alot like what I am after, just a little less overboard on the tire size...

boxrodz · 04-16-2005, 01:31 AM

Simply Mean.

Thanks for sharing.
Now how 'bout some pics of them tearing up the track.

phantom dually · 04-16-2005, 10:57 AM

That si similar to the setup I am getting ready to put on. I have the dana 60 rear and the ladder bar setup. I am going to put a sizable notch in the frame which I got from suicidedoors and then box the frame from just under the cab back to the rear of the frame. I will be running a 335/30/20 tire in the rear on a 20x12 wheel. Plan to get started this weekend. Heres a pic of what I got tore apart.

Looks like he had to turn his ladder bar crossmember up instead of down?? Originally these are meant to double as a drive shaft loop. I plan to do mine the same and run another strap off the crossmember to use it as such. Nice work BTW. Cant wait to get mine done.

also wondering how much it would cost to do this????
