Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
makeing some progress on the bed.... its starting to look like a bed again.....since we narrowed the rear end, we had to tub it....since the dash is round and the stock tubs wouldnt match anything
( they are square-ish) we desided to do a round tub..... at first we wanted 'BIGGEST' tubs, but after makeing them 24" wide, it really subtracted from the rest of the bed....all you focused on was how wide they were, and didnt notice anything else......so they were trimmed down (16.5" wide) till they were finally 'BIG' but less of a distraction, and more of a complament to the rest of the bed.......here is the process, trial fit them in there, notch the bottom for axle clearence, trim to make it fit flush with the inner bed side, build a mounting flange, weld it on, and temperally cleco it in place.....and lastly for looks i sat the wood in there....of coarse some peices of wood will need to be specially cut/ fitted, but you kinda get the picture....sorry first pic is so fuzzzzy Last edited by 68 short step; 07-12-2009 at 10:00 PM. |

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
I know I've probably asked TOO much now but any progress on the gauges? Only asking because I need to know what I'll need to do to get it to work in my fuuuuture project. If you want to PM me that's fine too. I know some of the details are still under wraps.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
bliitz- ill have to let hulk71 feild that ? for ya...
got the wood cut to go around the new tubs.....also got the tubs to be 'bolt on'....i drilled some holes for where the bolts will go, then made some nutplates, drilled smaller holes around mounting hole (so i could plug weld the nutplate), plug welded them in place, then grind down the welds... |

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
after the fenders were mounted, they needed some flanges to cover the edge of the wood. so i made some flanges and welded them on...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
after i welded the flanges on i had a little gap (between the fender and flange)..... after looking at it, it started to bug me....and i thought it would look better if it was smooth (no gap)... so i welded in the gap and smoothed it over....also note, that i rounded the sharp edges where the flanges came together...and finally the end result.

Nice work on the wheel tubs, welding up the seam and rounding the corners really finished it off nice.
