Re: Project "Popeye"
Yeah, the arms worked out great. I think the ride will be worth it. I've been through your build a few times too, I love the s-10 bed, still considering doing that in Popeye.

Re: Project "Popeye"
I thought about doing the S-10 bed but I decided not to. The pix of that on my build thread are from Bluejeep; he put the S-10 bed in his.

Re: Project "Popeye"
the s-10 bed thing had my curiosity up, so i had to check that out , i think that would be killer on POPEYE, i like it with the tubs in it in case you ever run wider wheels

Re: Project "Popeye"
I might have to do some small tubs, looks like I've only got 1/2 tire clearance at ride height. Surely an S-10 bed can be found cheap.

Re: Project "Popeye"
Yes, I did the s10 bed floor in mine and I like it. I first had the tubs, but cut them out later so that I could haul plywood in the bed. Here's the pics again:

Re: Project "Popeye"
Jumped over here to see what popeye was. Looking good. I have a 52 big truck in hidding I want to put a tube frame under with a suicide front and chop with a straight 6 or even better a straight 8.I just sold my 52 Daily driver. Metric subframe with v-8 auto, ps pb and cruise. You should have seen peoples faces when I'd blow by them on I-44. I'll try to post a pic or 2.
Not trying to jump on your thread here. Looks like you have a nice little place to work on your toys also. |
