A lil update on the truck, drove it around today! I've done a ton of work...I will update with pics and descriptions when I'm not in class..lol...later..also, I'm picking up my bed this weekend!

my67chevytruck · 06-10-2009, 07:31 PM

sounds like you have made some good progress. get those pics loaded when you can...

mycool72 · 06-16-2009, 08:10 AM

Ok so here's my official update....
I had a hard time finding a driveshaft to fit and didn't want to pay 300 for a new one, so I finally found one that would fit with a long tail (mine is short tail turbo 350). My neighbor gave me a long tail so I installed it...long story short...it didn't work! So I reinstalled my short tail, moved the motor back two inches(PITA-requires new holes to be drilled for mounts) and finally a match.
After that was done a played with it a little-drove it around the block and did some burnouts! This past weekend I drove to the Texoma area and picked up a bed..I did an even trade with a guy for a cab that I purchased for another build. I brought the bed home and realized that it wouldn't align very well so last night I cut the rails off the rear notch, set the bed where I wanted it to be and rewelded the rails in the correct position...needless to say it has been a handfull. The truck is making real progress though and should see some road time this summer-at least the road between me and the body shop!

mycool72 · 06-16-2009, 08:14 AM

Soon to come...I bought a york 210 off flebay and have started the bracket work for it!!! Also as you can see in the pics I have started the bodywork on the bed and cut a tunnel in the cab for the ds, I will also be revisiting areas on the rest of the truck. I also need to trim out more of the inner bedsides, I'll prob do that tonight.

my67chevytruck · 06-16-2009, 09:25 AM

nice progress.

mycool72 · 06-24-2009, 04:06 PM

Movin right along with the bodywork...also I found a couple of pics I forgot to post....

mycool72 · 06-24-2009, 04:10 PM

Started messing with the tailgate...and the LH bedside is smacked pretty good near the tail lamp area, that will take some work.

mycool72 · 06-24-2009, 04:21 PM

....the frame looks tweaked in the pic w/out the bed but I didn't have the cab mounts on at that point-all good now though. Also, I FINALLY fixed the trans leak-my garage floor is water proof for sure now!
Note: that's my 05 in the background.

nuke1 · 06-24-2009, 04:39 PM

It is lookin real tastey, i like it. that color is gorgeous, looks great on these trucks.

kev2809 · 06-24-2009, 08:42 PM

wow, it gets that low with just a notch and mounting the bags on the trailing arms? how far from the ground is the frame?

I wish it were that easy...take a closer look...the bags are mounted on the axle, the cab has a tunnel for the ds, and the crossmember is cut...I'm not sure on the height of the frame but the bedside is about 3 inches from touching and I still need to put in some 2 in blocks on the back.

my67chevytruck · 06-25-2009, 08:43 AM

looking good bro, need to check it out one day, I'm down the road in Midlothian....

mycool72 · 10-15-2009, 03:50 PM

mycool72 · 10-16-2009, 01:33 PM

mycool72 · 10-17-2009, 09:59 AM

kev2809 · 10-18-2009, 08:06 PM
