Re: Crewcab build
Back from the dead! In the mean time my house i bought has been sucking up all of my money(i"m temporarily getting taxed at the previous owners rate of 595k while they refigure the correct rate), and if you think owning a truck is alot of projects,be prepared if you buy a 85 year old house. Nothing fits, every piece of wood is rough cut(actually measures 2x4, etc) and matching trim is 4x the regular rate. Not that Im bitter....
![]() I just ripped control arms off a donor front end from a mid 70's Chevy tonight, I'm sick of slacking off, and am determined to get bqck to building this truck. Nothing fast, but I will post as I make progress! Promise! ![]() |

Re: Crewcab build
Good to hear man. I'm in the same boat as you with the house etc... But it's worth it to make your castle your own!

Re: Crewcab build
Awesome project! It's gonna be 10X cooler than a factory CC. Good luck with it and the crib.
What ever happened with the GMC pics? What are your plans for it?

Oh yea, I got busy today!

Re: Crewcab build
I am not trying to be a pain in the a$$ but I think your upper control arms are on the wrong side... i study every pic of them since i put mine on backwards a week ago... figured it out when i ran the brake hoses. Easier to fix now than later..(trust me)

Re: Crewcab build
Quick update, I just recieved new motor mounts from porterbuilt to move the motor forward to gain some more firewall clearance. I also had him add a rear crossmember to the order, paint is drying as I write this. Also picked up a '62 big back window cab and bench seat to complete my crewcab project!
