Frame Almost Finished

[bill2509]

Started building this in October 09, finally making some progress. So I thought I would start a build thread, Plan on installing motor and transmission real soon, and then it will be time for the body work. Some of the mods include power steering, rear disc brake (from captn fab) pass through exhaust and moved fuel tank to the rear. motor is a zz4 with some custom touches and the transmission is a 700r4 with 2300 stall.

Great job. It looks like you're almost ready to reassemble. How's the sheet metal coming?

[bill2509]

Thanks , I have just finished rounding up all the replacement sheet metal , but I am just getting ready to put the frame in storage and start on the body work, should be interesting scince it will be my first time doing my own body work.

where did you get your fuel cell and how do you have it held in there with

[bill2509]

I bought the tank from Classic performance Products, it comes with nut plate strips that mount inside the frame rails real simple install. takes about an hour all together not counting fuel lines or wiring.

Man, that thing is filthy. Don't you ever clean that garage?
It's cleaner than my house.

[jyaughn]

what tank or kit did you get? i went to there site and couldnt find one that looked like yours

[bill2509]

The fuel tank is a 19gal Aluminum tank for 64-66 chevy truck, standard bed fill CPP pn# is 6372AGTBS, if you look on their ebay store occasionally they will have it on sale with all the things you need, like the aluminum fill cap, sending unit and everything you need to install plus free shipping.

Really nice work - you're one of the guys on here who makes me feel lazy! (mine's been in progress a lot longer, haven't had it off the frame yet)

[bill2509]

Great looking chassis. Very clean looking.

Its has been a few months, but finally had a chance to get started on body work. Thought I would start with replacing Inner Bed Sides from Mar-K In OKC. Were very easy to install and made a big difference. Forgot about the camera until new bed sides were up to a point where I was going to weld them in, Sorry. The Previous owner at sometime in the trucks life had sprayed about 1/8 inch of undercoat on the entire inside of bed, found out that a 19 wire needle scaler will remove undercoat like crazy with no heat and no damage to the bed side at all. When I start the L/H side I will make sure and take before pictures and after.
