Your truck is really amazing. You have done a super job. How are you going to use this truck?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I am by far no expert but I think the metal that bolts to your frame on the hitch might be not thick enough , just comparing it to all of them that I see ?

I know I razzed you about your welds earlier, but you are certainly getting better

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I measured and copied what the 2002 hitch material was, 3/16ths. The 2002 frame that it bolts to seems to be even thinner.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I showed my wife your truck.
She said "Wow, that's pretty."

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Nice work on the new hitch. It's too cool you plan on using your truck all the time for work. Please be careful! It will be the talk of all the home building industry in Memphis.
I started my project with the same intentions. I don't know if I can follow through after all the blood, sweat and $$$cash I have in it. |

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I finished up the hitch last night with stolen parts from a 2002 Suburban hitch and I'm painting it today before I put it on. I'll still need to fab and weld bumper brackets to it, but I'll touch that up later and not take it all down again.
I'm also painting my door glass divider bars while I have paint in the gun.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
WOW! I just discovered this build thread day before yesterday, been reading here and there. I got to page 40 or so before I started jumping around, gonna have to find the time to read the whole thing post by post. Drew, that thing is SPECTACULAR, yes it is the truck GM should have built in the first place. Your vision, skills, and maybe most important, drive, are all on display and looking absolutely stellar! Congratulations on "out building" GM, using one of their best platforms. Like everyone else, I've seen about everything that can be done with these trucks, from totally whacko backyard hacks to megabuck ultra professional versions, and I think yours is right up there with the very, very best. I, for one, can't wait to see the completed truck, and your next project, if there is one. You, and this truck, deserve the recognition of the whole hot rodding world, and a cover on HRM. Very inspiring, to say the least!
