Your Pops sled looks great. I like how well you seem to plan your projects before you start so they seem to go together effortlessly. Great job yet again.

Thanks guys, no problem sorry it took so long to get the picture. It hit me last night I had forgot to do that for you. More pics coming

65Pickup · 03-07-2011, 03:21 PM

So rewarding at this point I image. Is your trim reproduction, or just awesome salvage yard stuff, I never got an understanding from the earlier discussions.
Great inspiration.

**superflysteiny** · 03-07-2011, 04:14 PM

No the trim is brand new. I feel like the truck is coming together and i cant believe how well it is turning out. Just lucky

Just want the truck back on the road but I refuse to cut corners.

luis979motoring · 03-07-2011, 06:43 PM

amazing build!!! If you don't mind me asking, what all mods had to be done for the wheels to clear. I love how flush they are! thanks for such great builds and inspiration!

djw32 · 03-07-2011, 06:47 PM

Sweet!

Well I bought the wheels directly from billet specialties and I asked for 22 by 10 inch wheels with full offset. Then I measured the rear end with the wheels and tires that came on the truck. Then I measured the same rear end with the new wheels and tires. From that I found I was only and inch wider than with the new wheels on. Now you have to be careful doing this because the stock wheels may not tuck in the fender with the truck dropped. To be safe I measured from the inside of the inner fender lip on one side of the bed to the other. I was and 1 and 3/4 inches to wide on each side with the new tires and wheels on the stock rear end meaning I was 3 and a half inches to wide with the new wheels and tires
So I added a 1/4 inch to the inch and 3/4 making it a total 2 inches the rear end had to be shortened on each side for a total of 4 inches to be taken off the rear end 2 from each side. So that is the number I used and it worked out perfect for me. Did I confuse you please let me know and I will answer what ever it is you need to know.

Thanks
