the frame is lookin good. can't say the same for those teeth though :/

skchevota · 02-01-2007, 11:46 PM

That rear is a semi float 14 bolt used in a lot of 3/4 ton chevy trucks, the diff is a possi and is called a gov lock by many( I think eaton makes it) but they are known to blow up, I belive Auburn macks a possi for those rears and detroit maks a locker. I would not use one of the stock style again though especialy if you are running larger tires...

extd56 · 02-02-2007, 12:14 AM

I will be running 33 inch tires with a 4 inch lift.

extd56 · 02-03-2007, 12:43 AM

I got some more work done today, got under the bed all cleaned up and painted and got it installed on the truck to see what it will look like. It took 3 people to get it in position to get the bed on it.

kenm78 · 02-03-2007, 10:44 AM

Love the truck.

**Canadian694x4** · 02-03-2007, 12:22 PM

I can't wait to see this truck finished. Looking Great!

birdie · 02-03-2007, 06:32 PM

That is truck is awsome, it is going to be a beaut when you are finished

**Palf70Step** · 02-03-2007, 08:32 PM

Closest smilie I could find for drolling all over myself.

Truck looks better ever time you post. Man I love that thing!!

ks147j111928 · 02-03-2007, 10:41 PM

just a quick observation: I noticed there is a 67 (?) small window cab in the background of the first picture; is that the same one a year later?
That truck is gona ROCK!!!

Very nice!!

extd56 · 02-03-2007, 11:31 PM

That truck is a 67 extended cab that I am also working on.

extd56 · 02-06-2007, 08:22 PM

I got some work done to the truck today, looks like a truck now. I am just mocking it up as I forgot what it looked like and I wanted to see what the lift was going to look like.

SmokeShow · 02-12-2007, 11:04 PM

Wanna sell it???

C-ya

extd56 · 02-13-2007, 12:03 AM

I guess most anything is available for sale for the right amount of money. I know what it has cost to date to build the truck, so whats your offer? It is at the reassembly stage to mock it up and then once it all fits take it back apart to blast and paint.

**Canadian694x4** · 02-13-2007, 12:05 AM

Sence the question was raised how much money do you have wrapped up in that? If you don't mind saying that is...I'd love to do up a truck exactly how your doing it but hard pressed to say I'd have the funds for a project like that...

72cheyennesuper20 · 02-13-2007, 12:13 AM

I would love to make one myself, I would like to Know how much money it would take to be a owner of this fine machine?

extd56 · 02-13-2007, 01:22 AM

I have never added up all the money and time that I have spent on the truck in case my wife found out because I might be living in it. I am working on 2 trucks and also a 38 Chrysler that is almost done except for the interior. If I had to guess I would say in the 15000 range but would be hard pressed to duplicate it for that amout.

**Hart_Rod** · 02-13-2007, 12:53 PM

extd56 · 02-13-2007, 02:48 PM

Well I got the tailgate on, looks good and a bed mat for the floor of the truck that can be trimmed for a shortbed.

extd56 · 02-14-2007, 12:49 AM

Kevin,

I am thinking of not using the 454 and maybe go with a 383 or 350. It seems like the way this truck is mounted on the late model frame there will be a lot of firewall massaging to get it to fit.

hvychve · 02-14-2007, 01:20 AM

what a kickbutt build... I can't wait to see paint on that bad boy... look'n darn good so far.....pick a good color.....thats an order....

extd56 · 02-14-2007, 01:33 AM

Whats a good color? I was going to paint it orange with a white top, now maybe blue with a white top. I have a ways to go before that day comes when I have to decide what color and I am always looking at the cars on the road to see what colors are on them.

Rokcrln · 02-14-2007, 07:56 AM

What ever color you pick buy alot of it! You might also want to check into those turn signals that the big rigs use showing a person getting run over on the inside corner! That is one long sob

It does'nt look as long now that is it lifted a bit.

Kevin

I felt like I was pulling a semi when I towed mine home.

cojnit · 02-14-2007, 11:26 AM

I towed the suburban home on a flatbed with a tahoe like that, the tahoe got airborne when the sub was first on the trailer. Suckers are HEAVY!
