Yet another GMC build

[6DoF]

if nothing else, should look sick!

Since I cut a brace out to move the tank, making another brace above the tank. Sway bar and links in now. Look at the back of the notch and you’ll see that I bent some 3/4 emt and welded it in before I closed the notch. I can put wiring from the frame rail through rather than around the notch. Did that on both sides.

Loooks good.
Canadian hotrods frames have all the electrical, brake and fuel lines run inside their boxed frames. Good idea I guess, it keeps it clean looking. If there were a problem I guess the frame could be opened up or the problem circuit could be ran on the outside.

Bed is back on. Still need wiring and brake lines, and to build a bed cover to hide the ugly. Realizing now that I’ll likely be adding lots of weight which will likely offset any benefit of being a couple inches lower. The rear view already looks better. I have always hated how the gas tank hangs WAY below the roll pan. And I had a frame rail that drooped and required spacers, and I fixed that. Hopefully the sway bar helps. And the rear frame is definitely stiffer now. We’ll see how it turns out.

3/4” square frame, stainless strips, 18 gage sheet metal. Ordered a couple quarts of bed liner so I can match the bed. Should cover the hole and look like it was on purpose.

So when you open the gate you have a nice little storage spot for things, if you cover the fuel tank with something protective. Looks good.

Spray lined the backside. Still need an alignment. The truck is definitely lower, my fender lip was above the tire. And recall that I raised the lip1.5 inches. If I hadn’t there would be some serious overhang. Waiting on the tintable coating to arrive for the top.

Your truck looks really good. Gonna look great with the tonneau cover in black.

Black was the bottom. Just sprayed the top orange. Now have to hurry and wait for the Raptorliner to dry.
