I've seen better :P

btw ^ there's the door-open shot.

**ChiefRocka** · 08-23-2008, 03:00 PM

Sooo...what's up Rob ??

How you been...pretty busy I'm assuming with the A/C ??

PrerunnerRob · 10-05-2008, 02:07 AM

Back from the dead..........

As much as I hate to admit it, work has definately left me with less and less time to work on this project. When summertime comes and the work is there, I have to take it, so not much progress was made over the last few months. Today however, was the exception! Me and my shop buddy Mike worked for almost 12 hours getting the frames welded together. It took what seemed like forever to get everything to true and straiten up, but finall we got it! I don't have any pictures of it going together, but may have some on my camera at my shop. Here are a few pictures that I took with my cell phone once it was all back together.

I also just picked up 1965 GMC truck with the V6 in it for a great deal, I'll post some more pictures later!

Since winter time is coming up, I may have some more free time to get this guy back together again.

Actually I am! The driveshaft crossmember is still holding the rear of the frame up off the ground!

How's your ride coming along?

joe231 · 10-05-2008, 11:12 AM

Sweet Rob....Glad to see your back on it !!!

When can I swing by and take some pictures ??

Later

Slmd92DIME · 10-05-2008, 08:23 PM

Awesome project. I really like the crew cab. Plus seeing it sit on the ground doesnt hurt anything either

**Captainfab** · 10-06-2008, 12:46 AM

Glad to see you've made a little progress. I was worried you may have given up........I know all too much about work getting in the way of projects. This is going to be such a bad ass truck. I'm looking forward to future updates......work permitting.

kdrodworks316 · 10-06-2008, 01:02 AM

Looking good Rob, more pics!

PrerunnerRob · 11-15-2008, 06:57 AM

Just a quick picture. I bought enought tubing to re-clip from the axle back, hopefully will be done somewhat on Sunday. After looking at the price of a notch, this made alot more sense, and I gain some gas tank room!

**ChiefRocka** · 11-15-2008, 09:43 AM

Sweet man...Ya the notches are like $185 now, or something...

Looking forward to it !

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-16-2008, 04:38 PM

This is gonna be a killer ride when its done keep up the good work..

PrerunnerRob · 11-16-2008, 11:45 PM

So, I know I should be posting pics of progress, but you can't take pictures when you leave the camera at home! Got the notches built, I mean OVERBUILT! Thought I had picked up some 3x3x3/16 wall, but turned out I cant read a tape measure. It's acually 1/4 wall, so strength should not be an issue. Got everything cut, all the edges ground back for a full penetration weld, and just have to cut the framerails to length. Had to stop due to not being 100% on a dimension, more to come later this week!

Thanks! I'll post pictures when I get more done.

**ChiefRocka** · 11-17-2008, 09:43 AM

Sweet man...but one suggestion:

That 'ol "I left my camera at home" bit is get'n kinda old...

joe231 · 11-17-2008, 09:47 AM
