Killer style and fabrication as always. Gonna be a shame to cover it up with the bed.

when you shaved the firewall did you cust out the metal or just cover it over. it looks like you cut it out, just wanted to know, thanks daniel.

Cut it out and butt-welded the new piece in.

More Updates... Built a tubular center structure for the chassis. We will integrate the transmission x-member into the design as well.

SCOTI · 07-22-2010, 06:44 PM

Sign me up! How much room is it leaving you for exhaust along the inside rails?

68GMCCustom · 07-22-2010, 06:55 PM

looks like theres room for 3+" exhaust between the fraim rails and the new tubular braces.

I have cut boxing plates for before and behind the trailing arm crossmsmber to strengthen the center of the frame....looks like Nate came up with a much sharper solution. I have to say that looks pretty good!

jwalk · 07-22-2010, 07:22 PM

Got to have it!!!!!!!

Mike J · 07-22-2010, 08:23 PM

wow, that is a great idea, and a really nice looking piece!

mcbassin · 07-22-2010, 09:39 PM

As always very innovative idea! Glad to see all the progress. It's funny how easy your pictures make it look. Keep it up!

The trans x-member tube uses the same poly bushings we run on the motor mounts... should be a nice match.

As for the headers, these aren't the ones we are actually gonna run.

kvn1011 · 07-27-2010, 05:14 PM

wow!!

ruffrida2005 · 07-27-2010, 05:24 PM

And I might have missed it, but are those custom headers or did you just undo the collector to point it out and reweld?

kvn1011 · 07-27-2010, 09:00 PM

i see there are more shots of the bolt on body drop, any pricing available yet?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-27-2010, 09:11 PM

Nate says this week so ooooooooooooooo two weeks it should be out....

Im waiting on this too. I swear I check this thread every day just to see if it has come out. Although my wife may kill me if I tear into the truck again for it considering I finally got it back together this weekend after a year and a half.
