Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I used the tailgate as a saw horse the other day. I thought about taking a picture and posting it up but never did. Been busy trying to finish the MGA project but the deadline is pushed back so I can work on the truck a bit now. Next update will be raising the bed floor. Stay tuned.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
So, I'm back. Not that I went anywhere. I've been watching for too long and now it's time for a post. The last few weeks have been busy so I've been sneaking out for an hour or two at a time. I figured out how my gas tank is fitting in and how to raise the bed floor. These pics are of the mods to the rear sill that I cut into to squeeze the tank. I boxed the inside where I cut for strength and you can see some reinforcement welds to the rear bed mounts. The tank seams are sitting on top of the bottom rail of the frame. It's not strapped in yet. I haven't figured out how to secure it yet but I'm thinking about running a strap all the way around it. Bed floor frame structure will be my next post.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I'm making a complete false floor that is three inches up from where it was originally. Basically, I'm welding 1/8" angle all the way around on the bedsides and the new wood will sit on top of the angle and be flush with the sides. I'm going to make new cross support pieces out of 1/8" thick 1" square tube. I don't have the material yet but will soon. The front bed mounts will be fabbed out of 3" pipe and I'm going to use an old cross rail that supported the wood to mount to. It fits perfectly into the space between the old flange that was on top of the wood and the angle that will be the new wood support. More pics to come soon.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
It's from an early 80's K5 blazer I found at the junkyard. The seats are still in it and I was thinking about picking them up too. They need recovering and I'll have to fab a bracket to mount them on. Have you seen any threads with K5 seats in a 4-5-6? I know I've someone has done it I just can't remember the screen name.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
No sorry I can't think of who that was. I'll let you know if I come across it. It shouldn't be difficult for a fabber such as yourself to mount a couple of buckets

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I know. I know. The going is slow when you only get an hour or two at a time. It took two months to get to where I'm at on the bed mods. I've got some time this week so hopefully I'll finish it up.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
A little bit more got done today. I put the 3" square tube in to make up for the bed dropping down 3". The body lines look perfect still. I'm happy with how it turned out. I still need to drill the holes to mount them to the frame. Everything seems really solid. I'm going to figure out the where the stainless strips are going to bolt up and put the rest of the 1" square tube structure in.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
So here it is. The truck and the time sucker. The MGA is going back together and ready for filler, primer and paint. It's going to wait till spring when the temperature gets back up to 65-70. I've got some body gaps to straighten a bit and some other minor metal bumping to do but for the most part it's ready for a skim.
I've made a little progress lately. I'm almost done with the false floor. It's taken longer than I planned but that's how it's been going lately. I just need two more 1" square tube supports to go between the wheel wells and then I'll be ready to bolt some wood in there. The only hold up with that is, I don't have the wood and can't buy it right now. I still need to level the bed out and shim it a little so the body lines line up. Next I'll be pulling the cab back off and stripping it to get ready for primer.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks Joe. I forgot to say that the wood in there now is just for mock up. I also cut out the middle stake pockets since last time I posted. I haven't filled in the holes in the bed rail yet but it won't take long. The particle board is the same thickness as the wood that will be going in there eventually. I don't have the wood or the strips yet so I'll be looking for them if anybody has any recommendations. I'm looking for cheap and not oak. I don't want yellow-ish wood in there.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Cheap dark non-oak. That's a tall order. Brazian cherry is relatively inexprnsive considering it's used in hardwood floors. Not necessarily cheaper than oaks but not super exp like exotics.
The truck is looking outstanding! |

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks guys. More to come. I'm going to get my hoist back from a friend so I can pull the cab and strip it. After that... primer.
