nice!
that has a lot of travel!

[shortbed70]

Yea so much that it is putting my upper balljoint in a bind SO... I am looking for some balljoints that have more travel to them. It goes from the x member about 2" off the ground to the front suspension being completly locked up to where it cant lift anymore. It goes up slow now being off a blowgun but drops like a rock...Its going to be fun. Thanks for the comment.

Do you have any more detail on the headers your running? Brand or even better model number?

[shortbed70]

SUM G9001 or 9001-9 for ceramic. Summit brand right from the catalog. Keep in mind my motor is in an od location and I had to trim the pass side rail slightly to clear.

What tailights is that rear pan set up for?

[chev-obsession]

are those spintech mufflers? i didnt catch the brand name.

[shortbed70]

Yea they are spintech pro street 2.5"
Davrod The seams aren't that bad to weld just have to be patient and skip around. I finished the drivers side last night.

[baggedout81]

Yeah you wont have hardly any air transfer w/ the way and position were putting them valves at and the Slams to "ballon" like firestones

[shortbed70]

Well my computer is being stupid and won't l me load my photos off my phone so I will have to fix it to post my progress pics. Sorry

how do I start a build tread?

[Captainfab]

When you're on the main page of the 'Projects and Builds' towards the top on the left is a button that says "New Thread" click on that, and start typing and adding attachments. Also it is a good idea to subscribe to your threads so you know when someone asks a question, or posts a comment.

Well Only thing I've done is play with my new old skidsteer and some grinding but I did manage to get my fan shroud finished but my computer wont load all the pics but heres one.

[firenuttz]

any progress on the truck lately?

[shortbed70]

No I got real sick about 2 months ago and couldn't eat or barely drink anything without getting sick then the weight started coming off and lost 32 lbs in three weeks. They finally came up with some mess that helped but now I have a couch in there I'm waiting for the lady to get it out so can't really do much. I did manage to get the pass side of the bed seams all welded up and my inner fenders both ready for paint but have to make room to do so. Thanks for wondering I was thinking my build died.. Oh yea air tanks are ready for paint also and ready to mount.

Good looking build, I really like the look of the smoothed out seams, can't wait to see what the bed looks like with no seam lines.

Hope your health improves and can get back to work on your build soon. This is definitely a thread I will be keeping my eye on.

/jealous of your metalworking skills.

[shortbed70]

Thanks Laz I wll hit a spot sooner or later and get out there and get it done. Me and the wife have decided to make the bed entirely smooth no seams so since it will never haul anything but some chairs and cleaning bucket the gate will be flushed in also... Lots of welding to come!!!

AWESOME BUILD!!!! I have not had a chance to read much on your build, (just looked at pictures) but I was under the impression you could not bag the stock rear suspension because of geometery??? I guess I was wrong.
