New Project truck!! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Blue_71 · 04-14-2005, 01:52 AM

sorry i never replied man, it was 40" wide... i traded it off to two tires and a set of headers (it was a bare shell).... i can see if the guy wants to sell it though

**special-K** · 04-14-2005, 06:23 AM

When I do mine,I`m going D60.They`re easy enough to find in 3/4t trucks and vans.You can buy all you need to build a narrowed 5-lug.That`s gonna be a nice "SportSide".Not to be all technical but,the last stepside was built in `87.This new guy on here,70prostreet I think?,has all the info on the D60(about a week ago).

>X< · 04-14-2005, 11:41 AM

i just sold a whole 3/4 ton truck, swb frame, 12 bolt, d60 posi, tilt, dash, etc etc, for a couple hundred bucks. d60's areent hard to find, i bet your local yard has 10

phantom dually · 04-24-2005, 10:42 PM

I made a little progress on the rear ladder bar setup. Got all the BS brackets of the frame and got it braced up squared for welding without getting a sagging frame!! Got the suicidedoors notch kit put into place and the rear setup at ride height and centered up.

Putter · 04-25-2005, 12:55 PM

Mmmmmm....plywood wheels. There is a cost-effective option that I never considered.

instead of ...."Dude, I smoked them off the line"....
it's more like...

"Dude, I splintered those mother-f'rs.....!!!!"

phantom dually · 04-25-2005, 06:46 PM

Those are high $$$ man. I just used those to mock up and set a ride height!! They will be for sale after Im done!!

phantom dually · 04-28-2005, 10:22 PM

Had to get a new set of spindles for the front. Bought a set used and found out they were for the 88-91 trucks therefore they have a diffrent length spindle shaft. Just got a new set from DJM. I am going to get the rear finished sunday.

phantom dually · 05-01-2005, 09:40 PM

Here are a few updates of my progress. Got the rear setup and tack welded. Tore it all back down and finish welded it all. Boxed the frame in and ran some supports to the front ladder bar mount. What do you guys think??

phantom dually · 05-01-2005, 09:41 PM

A few more!

phantom dually · 05-08-2005, 01:28 AM

Planning to put some paint to the frame tommorow. Any suggestions on a good primer/paint?

68w/sbc406 · 05-08-2005, 02:37 AM

you are an abitious man. looks good. quite a few people swear by POR-15 and the rest swear by eastwoods

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-08-2005, 08:28 AM

phantom dually · 05-08-2005, 06:07 PM

thanks for the kind comments guys. I didnt get a chance to do any paint today as I forgot about the mothers day get together. Maybe tommorrow?? Ay info on the eastwood kit vs the POR-15??

shifty · 05-10-2005, 10:37 AM

Go Eastwood. The stuff is a total bear to get off, easier to apply, doesn't take the prepping and additional work that POR-15 does, doesn't have the sunlight constraints and is all around a better product.

Just my 2¢. I've used it. Several other members have chimed in about this in other forums.

phantom dually · 05-18-2005, 09:38 PM

Ordered a set of wheels today. Got them from Bonspeed. 20x12's in the rear and 20x8.5 up front. Will be running a 245/40/20 in the front and a 335/30/20 in the rear. I have made a little more progress on the truck mainly just cleaning up the frame. Let me know what you guys think.

68w/sbc406 · 05-18-2005, 09:50 PM

sweet. when i have mo money i want to buy sweep 6

arkracing · 05-18-2005, 09:53 PM

looking good. nice work setting up the rear/4Link and notch.

Not that it ahs anything to do with the thread but what kind of welder are you running? and how long have you been welding? - they look pretty good - especially the ones around the ends of the pipes
Just curious..

looks like it would be one sweet ride when you done. not to mention BBC Power

phantom dually · 05-18-2005, 09:56 PM

Running a Hobart Ironman210. Ive been welding now for about 2yrs. Lots of practice but its not to hard to catch onto. The hardest part is knowing when to change voltage and wire speed. Thanks for the comments!!

phantom dually · 05-19-2005, 09:55 PM

Got a little info on the wheels today. Build time 7-9 weeks!! OUCH!!

Hoods69BadBowTie · 05-20-2005, 04:01 AM

Damn, thats along time. Looking very good so far. Going to be a kick azz ride when its all done. Keep up the good work and posting pictures and progress.
-Later

phantom dually · 05-20-2005, 11:12 PM

Scored a nice set of new CAL VU mirrors made by street scene. Got them from ebay shipped and all $60.00. Normally around $110 plus shipping.

*1FaastC10* · 05-21-2005, 01:53 AM

just a right time, right place deal? or do they normally go for that from the particular seller you bought them from?

smirch9 · 05-21-2005, 09:47 AM

WOW thats looking GREAT!! Can't wait to see the end result..!

99-2door · 05-21-2005, 03:43 PM

Nice Big Bear in the background. My dad has one and I love it. The push-button 4x4 is awesome.

Truckhead · 05-21-2005, 09:14 PM

Phantom, you given up on Airride suspensions? Your trucks coming along good.
