Can't wait to see it with all the metal on it!

jlaird · 11-12-2008, 11:29 PM

josh, this thing is so SICK. Makes mine look like a joke LOL.

Where did you get those blue bushings that you used on your exhaust hangers? Also, do you know how those magnaflow mufflers sound? I like the fact that they are small.

One more question, I noticed in one of your pics you have a metal plate on the cab mount rubber bushing on the forward drivers side. Are you leaving it there when you install the cab? I have taken two cabs off their frame and both had a shim on that cab mount.

Thanks for the complements jlaird! Your truck is pretty bad a$$ too! I got those blue exhaust bushings from IRONWORKS speed and kustom. I ordered my SPD exhaust tubing from them and I went over to there shop to pick it up and while i was there i saw those blue bushings. I asked if i could buy some and he hooked me up. Do you need a few? I could probably get you some. PM me if you do. Regarding that shim on the front cab bushing, yes i am using them for the front and rear of the cab mounts. When i ordered the cab mounts they came with these shims so i decided to use them. I heard the magnaflow mufflers sound great but i don't have any personal experience with them until now. They are pretty sweet since they tuck up into the frame and are flush with the bottom of the frame.

Can't wait to see this finished.

OLDIRON69 · 11-20-2008, 04:49 PM

another one to keep your eyes peeled on..

abadsvt · 11-22-2008, 11:13 PM

Well i finally got enough time to get the truck outside and off the frame. It looks so different off the frame jig that i almost don't want to put it back on.

I was able to snap a few pics of the frame with the motor and 1/2 of the exhaust installed before it got too dark to take some more pics. I was able to get most of the sheetmetal on tonight so tomorrow i will take some more pics of the truck with the bed on, 1 door and 1 fender. I almost forgot. The new rear end fits perfect with my wheels. I have around 3/4" per side of clearance which is exactly what i wanted. Anyways here is some pics

higgiec10 · 11-23-2008, 02:10 AM

all i can say is thats some nice goingto be a nice ride when done

abadsvt · 11-23-2008, 12:46 PM

Well i tried to get some decent pics of the truck with some sheetmetal but out of all the pics i only got 2 that came out. Since the sun is still rising it is reflecting off my truck. It look kind of angelic

. So later today when the sun isn't as bright i will snap a few more. I can't wait to see it painted, wood in the bed and so on. Being patient sucks

Josh

Crank · 11-23-2008, 01:23 PM

2nd picture looks like a model. But everything in aspect ratio. haha

nuke1 · 11-23-2008, 07:16 PM

WOW isall i caan say, nice job and well done!!!

abadsvt · 11-23-2008, 11:24 PM

Well i was had a few minutes and snapped a few more pics. I know they are almost the same pics as i already posted but i just love the how it is starting to look. I know i am

Josh

abadsvt · 11-23-2008, 11:27 PM

Last 2 pics. One of the pics is just showing the front bed mount i made.

Josh

ps. Just for everyones knowledge. If you get a pre 69 rear end the max recommended wheel backspacing is 4.5" on a 10" wide wheel. It won't fit on a 70 and up rear end. I learned that out the hard way. It leaves you just under 3/4" per side of clearance which should be plenty. Just sharing that info

kyull67 · 11-23-2008, 11:38 PM

Looks badass! What are you doing with the bedfloor?

What bedfoor!

I am going to build my own wood floor for the truck. I have a fair amount of wood working tools so i was thinking about either curley maple, maybe walnut. Either way it is going to be a high gloss finish. If we get a shop soon i was hoping to start building the wood floor cause i really want to see it installed.

What's the best place to get Foose wheels and how much?

Thanks Raguemoe! I will look for my receipt to see what i paid and where i got them. I don't remember off the top of my head but they were great to do business with. I think with rims, tires and the cost to get them powdercoated came out to just $3500-3750 but that is just off the top of my head. I think i might have got too much backspacing for the front wheels. I haven't takin the time to adjust the steering so i can't be sure but i am a little worried.

You looking for a set of wheels? If mine don't work maybe we can work something out? You going to drop the white c10 or leave it as is?

Josh

abadsvt · 11-24-2008, 03:30 PM

Well i couldn't resist, i grabbed some nitrogen and aired up my truck to about ride height. It looks sick! I had to take some pics.

Josh
