Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Did you use plastic wrap and wad it up on the wet paint then remove it real quick? I tried a marble effect on some rc car bodies doing it that way. It was kinda a pain cause on the rc bodies they are lexan and you have to paint the inside of them and paint the colors and pattern in reverse to get the layers right. The tank looks awesome.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
the 88+up frames are tapered in the rear behind the cab, making just moving spring hangars difficult....the 88+up 1 ton dually chassis cab (ordered without factory box) have straight frame rails, 34 inches apart, to accept aftermarket bodies, and are very easy to shorten/move spring perches around...I can take pictures of both frame configurations, as I have several of these trucks. Now if I can figure out how to post a image on here, I have a real nice GM diagram showing all measurements/configurations...will try to attatch...Nice pics and job Scott, on shortening your crewcab...I found this thread looking for info on doing my 94 GMC 1 ton Dually Crewcab 4x4, but my plan is to use a chassis cab rear frame section, along with the narrow dually diff from the chassis/cab (will tub the box inside) to have dual wheels without the big dually fenders...did this on a 87 and liked the look...now to find time to do it someday...have all the parts......also, Scott, when you moved the spring hangars forward, how much did you have to move the spring perches out on the axle? (am guessing you had to move them out because of the frame tapers wider toward the front)...

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
FastEddie, I'm with you, brother. I have a C&C that I'm gonna use for a ProStreet 454SS clone build. After I tried to figure out some configuration that would allow me to run wider tires, etc. with the stock chassis, I stumbled onto a C&C and I think it solved my problems. According to my preliminary measurements, the rear axle on a SWB should be centered between the two cross braces, giving a perfect spot for coilovers. Here's a pic, taken while I was standing on the gas tank at the back of the chassis.
 The front yardstick represents where the axle should be, the T-square is just about where the frame rails will be cut. As an added bonus, the C&C's have the narrowest of the 14-bolt full floater axles, 4X4 and rock crawler guys love 'em and will pay for 'em. I bought my C&C with a dead engine in it, sold the NV4500 for $350 more than I paid for the entire truck and still have a good roller 350 block. I'm still selling parts off of it, I hope to have enough for rearend narrowing and 4-link parts. It looks like I'll be able to run the 1-ton front control arms with 1/2 ton spindles, just need to replace the spring, etc. |

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
I've got all the parts to mix and match to build what I want...Just have to find the time...I have a 96 GMC 1 ton 4x4 ext cab 6.5 turbo diesel longbox dually, full load, and a 94 GMC crew cab longbox dually 4x4 454/5speed (the one I want to convert to shortbox narrow dually (without fiberglass fenders) as well as a 93 GMC 1 ton dually reg cab & chassis (34 inch rear frame) with a 6.2 diesel/5 speed 2wd, and a 93 Chevrolet 2wd 1 ton reg cab & chassis (34 inch rear frame) 454/4L80E ....as well as several more 1/2 and 3/4 ton configurations, as well as a couple 'burbans...hopefully the project will get further than paper soon...the truck is going to be a work truck, with a 5th wheel in the bed, as well as a hydralic wheel lift ....will put some before pics up soon
