Coming along nice Trevor!

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-17-2019, 04:48 PM

That looks so much nicer now! I'm glad they're making those wheels now! I'll be getting a set for my truck to shelf the 16.5s eventually.

**cst204x4** · 04-21-2019, 09:36 AM

Very nice love the wheel and tire combo!

**71blksuper4x4** · 04-21-2019, 10:15 AM

Thanks fellas, been juggling a busy time at work with our new liquor law change and getting projects done around the house. Ready to get back on it.

cashforclunkers · 04-25-2019, 11:35 AM

Trevor,

Would you happen to know off hand the distance from the front axle centerline to the back of the cab on your truck?

I am planning my build and I need 113" for my 04 crew cab frame. I think I'm going to have to use truck rear door size to get to that, but I love the way yours looks.

TIA!

**71blksuper4x4** · 04-25-2019, 10:32 PM

Roughly 106”

Thank you sir.

**71blksuper4x4** · 04-27-2019, 10:08 PM

Building my turnover ball gooseneck hitch. Still have some work to do, but a very productive Fab day.

**71blksuper4x4** · 04-28-2019, 10:27 PM

Finished the fabrication on my gooseneck hitch. Will need to blast and clean it up.

**rgreathouse** · 04-29-2019, 09:56 PM

Trevor looking good!

Ive got a couple goosenecks I'm going to play with for my truck. Is this going to bolt to the top of the frame? looks similar to the b&w 73-87 chevy gooseneck?

That’s what I copied but made it to fit my chassis, it will bolt on top of the rails under the bed floor.

**rgreathouse** · 04-29-2019, 10:01 PM

what did you start with? I was thinking about buying a 73-87 b&w and trying it on mine.I was thinking it may work for me since my frame doesn't kick up as far as yours, but not sure about width.

**71blksuper4x4** · 04-29-2019, 10:18 PM

I started with the B&W 1500 for flat bed kit, was around $150. Then I had this old 8” C Channel front bumper from my CJ10a Jeep that was a perfect starting mount.

**rgreathouse** · 04-29-2019, 10:22 PM

oh ok makes sense, you must have removed the square top plate that comes with the flatbed kit?

Yes, that was one of the most time consuming things on the fabrication was cutting that 1/2” thick plate off.

Vintage Windmills · 05-03-2019, 09:24 PM

Looking good. I'm curious about the powerplant. Have you shown the engine yet? I know you said lB7 Do you have one ready for the truck?

The engine is still in my donor truck currently where I can still run the fluids through and keep it rolling. I have been preparing the rear of the frame and am close to working on the front half. I plan on getting a Fass pump and a set of SAC injectors but it has had great maintenance it's whole life. I will detail it when it's time.

7dee2 · 05-20-2019, 10:24 AM

Nice! Reminds me of our doner 3+3 chop top convertible buggy.

1972K20 · 06-11-2019, 02:52 PM

Looks good!

**71blksuper4x4** · 06-30-2019, 11:02 PM

Well, found out I was 1/4" long on my floor on the driver's side, spent all weekend fixing that and getting back to the inner roof where I thought I was at ahead of the weekend.

**Getter-Done** · 07-01-2019, 01:46 PM

I like the inner roof
with dome light in the
center.
Looking good.

**71blksuper4x4** · 03-25-2020, 10:23 AM

More of my inner roof coming together.

**71blksuper4x4** · 03-25-2020, 10:25 AM

Adjusted my upper door gaps.
