Those doors shut very nice!

MrBeast · 02-23-2018, 12:14 AM

Truck is looking amazing, really enjoyed reading your build.

19684x4 · 02-23-2018, 09:58 AM

i apologize in advance if i missed it. What gauges are you using that work with your duramax? What is your gas tank out of and what size is the tank?

**71blksuper4x4** · 02-23-2018, 03:43 PM

I haven't decided just yet. I have been looking into getting a custom dash made from New Vintage USA. I like their 69 series. I have seen Dakota Digitals and others used. You could possibly even use the stock gauges and convert the factory speedometer to electric. Trevor

19684x4 · 02-23-2018, 06:55 PM

thanks. ill check out new vintage. What is your gas tank out of and what size is the tank?

New Vintage does really nice work, they made this custom set for my 50 GMC. Highly recommended.

31 gal blazer tank. I believe there is a 40-45 gal. Suburban tank as well, but won't fit a swb frame. Would have to be a long bed.

87max · 02-25-2018, 07:26 PM

those new vintage are sweet looking

**71blksuper4x4** · 02-25-2018, 10:29 PM

Finished lining up my third door and finished my drip rails. Started moving to funner things.

**71blksuper4x4** · 02-26-2018, 11:21 AM

Getting the roof layed down.

Taller garage door before this shop door. Kind of an odd garage. This one is a drive through garage in the back of where my normal parking spot will be for it. It was the previous owners wood shop. My jeep has 4" lift and 35"s and fits under that door fine.
I am only going to keep this truck at 4" lift max or below.

**71blksuper4x4** · 03-12-2018, 09:46 PM

Wedding is coming up. Lots of last minute things to do to prepare for it. Getting anything I can done on the truck. Tonight it was pulling out my tailgate and getting my clearance lamps drilled out. I am using the 73-80 style lamps as the lens said 70....usually lamps have which year they were started. It was all about the details.

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-26-2018, 06:34 PM

That is looking great! Keep up the great work

6600DURAMAX · 03-07-2018, 05:22 PM

Awesome job!! Keep it moving

57taskforce · 03-09-2018, 10:09 PM

That truck is going to be really nice! Nice work!

**rgreathouse** · 06-10-2018, 12:51 AM

looking good! I can't wait till I can roll mine outside!

1972K20 · 07-12-2018, 02:33 PM

Good looking build. When do you plan to build the frame?

I already started on the frame that’s under it now. Still haven’t decided if I am going to splice in my longhorn frame yet or not to this one. As far as putting the engine in the frame, I am waiting to get my cab done before I move on to the drivetrain.

**71blksuper4x4** · 08-04-2018, 03:30 PM

Still tacking on the inner roof. Finally dyed my Dana 60 Spicers. Should make the hubs pop.

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-06-2018, 02:22 PM

Nice work! I painted my knobs on my lock outs and no one has ever said a word about it.

**71blksuper4x4** · 08-11-2018, 11:28 PM

Finally got my gauge cluster done. Glad that one is off the checklist. Only a few more large parts left.

**Getter-Done** · 08-11-2018, 11:59 PM

That Gage cluster looks Awesome!!!
I like your plan with the Roof.
I have been watching your build.
I hope to start the cut on mine in a few months.
