mine is a 7 gal i think it is 36x8, if i remember correctly

LooseCannon · 04-08-2010, 11:49 AM

Looks awesome! I'm considering running a similar suspension setup with a raised wood bed and trying to get a rough idea of the floor height. Approximately, what's the distance from the top of the notches to the top of the bed rails? Thanks.

nastyc10 · 04-08-2010, 11:50 AM

Lookin good as usual!

smashingchuck · 04-08-2010, 11:52 AM

Couple things... did you make the battery box or is that a kit, are you planning on sliding the box forward to reduce the gab between the bed and the cab, and are you going to weld a mount onto the that tube work so the front bed support has something to attach to? Looking sweet!

**67cheby** · 04-08-2010, 12:16 PM

the battery box is a dirt track batt box my friend sells them for $40, yes there will be flat mounting points for the bed, and yes the bed will slide forward a little bit

**67cheby** · 04-08-2010, 12:19 PM

i will try to remember to measure that tonight

Bazooka · 04-08-2010, 03:02 PM

everything looks great. I would like to build a 67 or 68 someday myself.

**67cheby** · 04-08-2010, 04:48 PM

**67cheby** · 04-09-2010, 09:26 AM

panhandler62 · 04-09-2010, 10:13 AM

**67cheby** · 04-09-2010, 10:16 AM

**67cheby** · 04-12-2010, 09:39 AM

**67cheby** · 04-12-2010, 02:43 PM

just got off of the phone with my bodyman and painter, he said it would be done by Oct for the Goodguy show, and he doesnt have it to start on it yet, i guess i should have been more specific and told him the 2010 goodguys show hope he wasnt talking about the 2011 show

72BlckButy · 04-12-2010, 02:54 PM

0331grunt · 04-12-2010, 04:16 PM

That's a good looking setup! I'll have to make it up that way one of these days and check it out

**67cheby** · 04-12-2010, 04:36 PM

come on down

**67cheby** · 04-16-2010, 09:59 AM

yesterdays progress... stripped the seat covers off of my buddy buckets, discovered i have one 67 seat and one 68 seat, looks like i will have to contour the foam on the 68 seat to match the one on the 67, Next i hinged the pass seat to fold forward like the drivers seat very simple just took an hour or so to do,, Last i put a 2006 jeep grand cherokee rear seat drink holder in the center of my buddy buckets.. i think it pretty sweet what do you guys think

**67cheby** · 04-16-2010, 10:01 AM

watahyahknow · 04-16-2010, 12:22 PM
