Re: Project "Shifted"

So, you're giving us new updates with old pictures, huh? You've probably been done and driving this truck for months.

, I wish. Here is another update. Got the rear level sensors mounted. I'm waiting on some metal pieces from the machine shop and then I will work on finishing the raised bed floor and mounting the Accuair air tank and compressor. I have to mention that I'm extremely impressed with how all of the Accuair parts are packaged. Everything has a picture in the package showing what to use it for! It really simplifies the assembly.

Got a little more done last night. Mounted the FPR and put some adel clamps on the fuel line. Just need to get it on blocks to finish the rest under the cab. I also notched one of the rear braces for drive shaft clearance when it's laid out. I mounted the rear bumper also just to see how low it will be when laid out. I need to do some more work on the bed and mounting structure this weekend. Pushing forward....

Re: Project "Shifted"

Made a little more progress on the bed this weekend. I clearanced the inner bed sides a little more so I can air it up and down with out any rubbing. I also started laying out the inner bed frame structure that will hold the wood floor. I'm still trying to decide how I want to do the wood floor. Was thinking just some rough cut planks without any metal strips. Thoughts, suggestions and/or pictures greatly appreciated .

Interested in what tires these are in this post.? I've read all your build threads (a couple of times.!) but can't find tire info now that I'm curious....

Eric ultimately put the OEM strips in, but here's a pic to give you an idea of what it would look like with the planks only. I see I'm in the minority here, but I like it

Thanks for the pictures guys. I'm getting ready to order a full bed wood kit from Mar-K. I'm getting it with the stainless steel bed strips with the hidden fasteners. Should I order red oak or white oak? I think I'm leaning toward white oak.... I also ordered a new AAW wiring harness from boardmember TKORENEK. So the work is progressing.....

Quarter sawn white oak is a very pretty wood when used in hard wood floors. Should look good on a truck too.

Re: Project "Shifted"

I'd go with white oak Rob, seems like most kits are red oak. Check out HuggerCSTs', Wynne has white oak in the 70.

Thanks guys. Where's the best place to buy a complete kit? I've been looking at Mar-K, but with shipping it's going to be close to a $1K.

Thanks! I got most of the tubing cut for the bed frame, but I'm going to wait until I get the bed wood in before I start welding it up.

If/when he gets rid of this one I'm sure the Burb will get some attention. We need something to take to CtC '15!
