Thanks guys for chimeing in I gotta keep motivated.... I seem to be able to buy parts easy enough but getting them installed seems to be my problem..

Red4x4 · 01-09-2012, 07:42 PM

Great progress, and pictures. Before you take the bed and cab off, How about a picture of the hole truck?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-09-2012, 09:12 PM

Best pic I have of it right now..

(Double D) · 01-25-2012, 01:40 PM

Looking good.... Stay motivated and keep at it... HAN will be here before you know it.

Dingfodgy · 01-26-2012, 11:00 PM

Nice work so far! I have the opposite problem of you. I have tons of motivation and keep busy doing stupid body mods but don't have a freakin' nickel to spend on parts.

very cool long box. J

FRENCHBLUE72 · 02-17-2012, 08:38 PM

I am intrested for sure... Spent all day on one cab corner... I really wanted to take a hammer to the truck but it seems that when I replaced my rockers the rear cab corners were thin as hell and would have killed the paint with in a year.. Everytime I ouched the welder to the cab corner it melted threw even on a setting of 1. So I replaced it all screw it...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-03-2012, 07:45 PM

Got my cab corners from classic heartbeat thanks wes.... I have to admit im addicted to stainless after I bought those powersteering lines from frank.. Id say i have spent about 250 bucks in stainless hardware...

I can relate to this statement for sure. I just finished a full cab floor restoration.....OUCH. It is very time consuming for sure.

longbed67 · 03-03-2012, 09:47 PM

Haven't read your thread in a while and wow its really coming together! I really like the attn. to details. Is this going to be a trailer queen? Or how are you going to keep rocks from chipping up the inside of your bed or breaking out your rear window?

wrwelton · 03-14-2012, 04:39 PM

Very nice build. Though I can not imagine cutting the bed unless I had to. I never did understand the need to put the truck so low but it does look great. I live in New England and Iam sure my truck will end up 4 wheeling one of theese days. I will need the clearance. lol. walt
