Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
maibe you can just line x the bedsides and make a piece of daimondplate fit verry tightly on the floor and intoo the sides so theres no gap and make an inch high standing edge on it
that way when stuff rolls through the bed during cornering it will hit the daimondplate first and when you get damage you can take out the floorcovering and still get at the bolts and seperate the pieces with the line x on them and repair / replace it without it looking ugly at the seams

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Hopefully by Thursday the truck will be going to the body shop. I'm waiting on a stall to open up before it can go there. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to go back to trim in the windshield rubbers or not. Hmmmmm................................

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
It's off to a rough start. I was going to take the truck to the body shop today, but of course it's raining so I haven't decided if I will or not yet.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
It's at the body shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I removed the engine, cleaned it out, hung the new RH fender, put on a different cowl, and Mathew helped me hang the hood. Then we took it to the body shop and pushed it inside. We talked to my old boss and then I removed the wheels and tires. One so it can't be taken out side, and two so I can mount some 305's on the steel wheels. I'll try to get pics tomorrow.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Besides, the bed will have to wait until I get it put together. I have to get the floor and sides assembled so he can fix the big dent in the RH side.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I borrowed some 305's from my little brother for now so I can see what this truck will look like. I'm planning on going to the body shop and putting these on tomorrow so I'll get some pics of the truck tomorrow.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I made it over to the body shop and got these tires installed. Also snaped some pics of the truck. No progress has been made and I'm not surprised. Hopefully by Christmas it'll have color on it. Hopefully..............................................
It looks like I got my LH fender worked around ok. It matches the contour of the RH behind the wheel. I finally found my missing pieces to get a steering column back in it. Dang, I hope I can find the rest of this truck!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Ryan,
I'm not sure what happened to my subscription to your build. All my posts and subscription vanished. I've been following along for over a year and never got any updates. So I just thought I would check in. Not sure how I could lose a script and all my posts? Anyway, glad to see all the last few months worth of progress. Hope to see some paint shot on this puppy pretty soon too. |

Thanks and your truck is coming along awesome too. I love those nice tires. Those would work great on my suburban, well maybe with just a little lift on it. I love the agressive tread. I got a crap load of new and used parts to put on mine too. Can't wait till I get where you are. Keep rocking bro |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Are you feeling truckless now with your truck at the body shop , or did you keep enough parts back to work on ? Mine has been gone for awhile and to keep busy i have been working on a shop addition and organizing parts.....Don't get me wrong i now drive to the body shop everyday i can and do what ever i can to speed up the process
