Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
No. That's a 60K truck at least. I came thru Memphis Tuesday evening in a thunderstorm, was looking for you on I40, but you must have been elsewhere.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Seems too low to me. Could you replace it for $32K? or buy nice truck/burb start all over and you do all the labor again ?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
No pictures, but I had an epic failure on the road yesterday. Panhard rod snapped in two! It has a sharp 90 degree bend in it as it goes over the diff and a huge whack on a potholed gravel road did the trick. I realized there was an issue when I started smelling tire smoke, as I pulled over a huge cloud passed me on the passenger side. UH OH. As I was feeling around in the dark (5am duck hunt), I discovered the inner sidewall was quite soft and gooey, the axle had shifted over and the inner tire was rubbing the fenderwell. Luckily it hadn't blown out.
We unloaded the 4wheeler, drove it to the duck blind, hunted a few hours and then dealt with Young Frankie. We borrowed a trailer, towed it to a barn with a welder, pulled out both sections and welded it back together on the dirt. Put it back in and drove her home 2 hours with no issues. I guess its time to put Frankie back in the shop and reopen this build thread! I have a few things I want to build differently and a few things need to get finished that never did. And no, I have no desire to build a 4th door. In fact I hope to not do anything that would require any paintwork. The fun should begin in a few days!

Subscribed. I'm sure it'll be educational.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Just caught up with your build. Major props. Frankie is an amazing truck. Love all the detail work that you put into it.

I found the place while on vacation there, I was bored and just went to look- you see how that turned out! I ended up totally gutting it, so it is all new with all new furnishings - thanks Pottery Barn OUTLET. On another note, Frankie's rear is blown apart, I'll try to get some pics up soon.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
We've finally started back on reworking the rear suspension. Gnande was helping me again with the disassembly. The oddly shaped panhard rod that failed on the road - you can see where I welded it back together in the barn.
Yes I have hacked 2.5 inches out of the frame. I liked for the truck to ride at a level stance which made for only 2 inches of up travel before the axle contacted the frame. So here we go with major surgery again.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
It will be a complete redesign of the real suspension. I'll show it as it happens.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Is that a kingpin axle?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I knew it was a quadrasteer, after all I did see it in New Braunfels.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Yes, that's right - going to coil - overs on the rear with fully adjustable shocks.
Keeping the airbags too as helpers when I'm loaded down.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Saturday night picture time!
Working on building new frame rails, lots of cutting and fitting. I've cut out 4 inches of my frame so that if I want to lower it down some more later I won't have to do the frame again. Huge pile of scraps, evidence of LOTS of work.
