Re: Project...praise the lowered
so i finally gained some on the build this week.i managed to do some sheet metal trimming on the inner panels of both box sides,ordered in 3 lengths of 1x1 and 3 lengths of1x2 steel tubing for my box sides and floor frame.in the pictures you can see when i trimmed the inner box sides and on the underside i spot welded 1x1 tubing to give it plenty of strength to stay upright when i weld them to the bed floor frame.for the openings im going to mount some stainless or aluminum for a nice clean look.i also welded my front tubing in place for the custom front bed panel.on top of all this i hung the tail gate and started fixing dents.the old girl was well used.not sure if i posted this before but in the pics you can see the custom tailgate latch release i made when i shaved the original one.really feels like im getting somewhere again\

I like the idea of the chrome parts from the old mixed with the JDBB and the hood is killer! |

Re: Project...praise the lowered
its nice to have it looking like a truck again.and another quick update,its out with the old and in with the new booster.i was quite lucky the new booster fit the mounting holes.only thing i had to do was make a custom bracket from the rod to the sierra brake pedal heres a couple snap shots of it mocked up in place.it made so much more room over the old one.also just ordered a aluminum air tank.should have it in a week or so.forgot to mention i tried to fit on the hood today.with the body drop a sensor in the top of my intake is about 2 inches too high.im going to have to get creative to solve this problem

Re: Project...praise the lowered
quick update: yesterday afternoon i got some small time consuming things off the list.made some rubber grommets for the fire wall,removed the steering column and relocated the mount bracket so the wheel will be a little closer,did some die grinding on the holes for the brake booster mount so it sits more level,did some body work to the firewall where i burnt welding the gas pedal mount,organized some wiring under the dash.ect.small boring stuff i put off long enough.today i drove home to visit some family and ended up giving my father a hand sanding and blocking the body for his hotrod project.after waiting over a year for canadian company to make his body he decided to go with another company form the U.S who delivered one to the door.great product.so now he can finally get back at it.i cant wait to get both of the projects done and start hitting some shows.heres a couple pics
