^^^Good Luck!!!

menace121978 · 06-12-2010, 05:29 PM

right on Josh! im sure glad you found it!!! good luck man

79gmc5.3 · 06-12-2010, 08:14 PM

Looking Josh!! Little man looks like he's ready to take that 6.0l for a spin around the block!

**nlped** · 06-13-2010, 06:32 PM

Dumb question, but couldn't you cut them down and use them? Couldn't you cut a section out of the middles and reattach with some high pressure rubber line, or put a compression fitting in place?

Just curious.

Nevermind...I see that you bent up your own. They look better then stock anyway!

menace121978 · 06-13-2010, 06:40 PM

damn that looks great Josh! like Ed said... "better than stock!" if your really set on the factory line let me know and i'll send out mine today in exchange for your custom ones

btw... how was it getting them off? and did you get the harness too? the one i was under the other day was a long bed also! didnt know there was a difference

STOCKISH · 06-13-2010, 09:01 PM

They were easy to get off, it had a dump bed on it and it was up.

No harness was there though. Maybe next time.

silvereagle07 · 06-14-2010, 12:09 PM

Hey Josh, I got the radiator support loaded in the truck and I will bring it Tuesday if you still want it. Let me know. BTW, the fuel lines are looking good.

STOCKISH · 06-14-2010, 09:59 PM

Thanks Jeramy. I'll come by the shop tomorrow after work. Thanks again.

silvereagle07 · 07-01-2010, 11:35 AM

Got any updates?

STOCKISH · 07-03-2010, 11:09 PM

Very few. I took my rear springs off, disassembled them, sanded and painted and re-installed them so they will look good holding the 3.73 geared 12 bolt I picked up from you that i also cleaned ad have ready for paint. Finished running the fuel lines to the fuel rail, and a few misc. things I've been neglecting to finish. I am now ready to put the cab back on and I cant even start to tell you how excited I am about that. Then it should come together pretty quickly I hope. I also traded my 91 clip to FATHOE for a stock front end so I need to get the core support blasted, powder coated and installed.

Still trying to decide if I want to Air Ride it while it's all apart, too many decisions!

Just so you know you inspired my son to change his 86 to the 91 burb style........Maybe, we shouldn't have sold it, he may change his mind. Dang it.

I think your right it will go back together fast once you get the cab back on it. Keep it up man.

joe231 · 07-04-2010, 12:39 AM

Progress is progress

So your putting a '86 grill back on it?

Say it isnt so......

STOCKISH · 07-04-2010, 02:42 PM

Yes, putting the stock 86 grill back in it. I like them both but just want to put the stock front back on it for a while. Thanks for all the compliments guys!

It will look sick no matter what grill is on it!

menace121978 · 07-04-2010, 07:16 AM

little at a time buddy! cant wait to see that cab on there... you bag yours and i'll have to bag mine too

i've been tossing around the idea myself

All right, quit messin around. JUST BAG IT!

texasfunk · 07-04-2010, 07:30 AM

i say you guys quit tossin the idea, and catch it!

the chassis is looking good! almost a shame to put a body on it!

*Stitch* · 07-07-2010, 07:06 AM

Yeah fellas quit trying to talk him outta my grill LOL. Its gonna look great on my crewcab Josh if you wanna keep it just say the word. I think both our trucks will look good with either front end on there. Anyways Josh it's looking real good buddy. When are you planning on putting the cab on there

STOCKISH · 07-07-2010, 07:54 AM

Chuck, the grill is yours. I will see you Sunday for sure. I get paid on Fridays so I am planning to order the body mount kit from LMC and maybe get the cab on it by next weekend? Just depends on there shipping times and when I get the fuel tank harness from BIGCHEVYMAN for the fuel tanks. We'll see. Hopefully soon though, ready to drive this thing.

*Stitch* · 07-07-2010, 08:23 AM

Cool I'm anxious to see it back together. It's gonna look slick. Very factory stock besides the wheels until you pop the hood. I like it

STOCKISH · 07-07-2010, 11:05 AM

Exactly! I want it to look stock except the stance and wheels. And under the hood of coarse!

**nlped** · 07-08-2010, 12:16 PM

And it will. It's going to be fantastic!!!

STOCKISH · 07-08-2010, 04:40 PM

Thanks man. I am hoping to have the fuel tank harness this weekend. If not it will be first of the week. My wife is going to Atl. to visit a friend for a few days so i am hoping to have the harness from BIGCHEVYMAN installed as well as the C-Notch and shackles from Bigarmzz and get the cab mounted this weekend or at the latest by Tuesday night. If I can get the cab mounted I will also get the bed back on and then finish the LS swap details and get the exhaust run before putting the clip back on. Man, after all this time it still seems like a long ways to go!

craazy22 · 07-09-2010, 01:20 AM

Wow... josh I just read post by post of your thread and I must say your truck looks amazing. I have been on this forum for a while but I never post but maan your truck is gonna be sweet. I just bought my complete swap and I will very much appreciate if I can have some pointers. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work on your truck. Fixing to start reading glocks thread.
