Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Glad you had a great time on the tour. Great work Drew. Quadrasteer just puts that thing over the top.
When are you putting in the fourth door? ![]()

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I saw it today in person. I thought I had been following the build pretty closely but I completely missed the quad-steer part of it. No one was around so I did not get to shake your hand but the truck looked great.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Going back thru the pages, on 71/72 you have the cab mating with the frame. There's a big spaghetti mess sitting on top of the rear axle housing.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
On the first 2 pages there is a q-steer truck bed peeking in the garage... was that the donor? So, how many vehicles went into the making of Frankenstein?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Yep, that's the one, 2002 black Silverado 4wd. It had a kink in the frame on the passenger side but was still drivable. Don't step on the gas too hard though or else the engine will vibrate and rub on the firewall. I drove it that way for about 9 months just to make sure everything was good and operational. The 5.3 only had 66,000 miles so this was most of the powertrain I used for Frankie.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Drew,... I'm not sure anyone has asked,... but how is this truck titled?
72? 2002? Just curious,... because some members are having issues with simple lwb to swb frame swaps.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
In Tennessee it is easy, no inspections or anything. I just took them a title that I had a matching vin tag and had it registered in my name. I've had the title and tags for over a year. I have antique tags so I never have to renew or do a smog/inspection test either.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
We are finally home after 2300 miles and zero issues!!!
I did a little gas calculations and cruising at 80 mph hurts bad. I knew it was going to just from the very different throttle pedal position to keep it plowing through the wind at that rate. Our last tank we ran with the 18 wheelers at 68 or so mph. 80 mph = 15.1 mpg 68 mph = 19.4 mpg
