I do have one other question for you, whatever happened to your bike, i am looking for an engine for one. just curious? BTW i know all about wrecking those, been down many times also. Stupidity once and the rest have been by a matter of choice, either hit the car cutting me off or put her down, well the road looks better to me than being under a car!

Glad to see you are still around to build this truck!!! I still have the front half of the bike, just could not bring myself to get rid of it yet. We had to cut it in half to get the motor out.....sold it to a guy in Dallas, he is using it in a mini sprint car. This was actually my first wreck, but had laid one down a few years back. Still have a few items left from the bike, but not much. BTW....the bed you cut looks great, may consider that in the future. Keep up the great work.

nuke1 · 05-16-2009, 02:42 AM

glad you are ok also, a motor like that in a sprint car would be jsut cool, thanks for the compliments btw.

Nope. I bought the bed in that condition to move my project forward a month or so. Very little needs to be done to it. Wish I was that fast on the cab!!!!

Slick67 · 05-18-2009, 02:11 PM

Here are some new pics.....cause everyone likes pics. I put the bed on that I bought and put my rim on the back to see how much space I have while running bags and 22X10 rims.....no issues!! There is about 1.5 inches to the fender well and about 1 inch to the lip of the bed. Still need to cut the bumpstops to lower it another 1.5 to 2.5 inches in the back. Yeah...that's a chicken coup in the corner of the lot with a couple of yardbirds in it.

I finished sandblasting and painting the chassis, and started installing the airbags and fuel cell. I did a disk brake 2.5 in drop spindle and added a 71 rearend for the 5 lugs. An adjustable tracbar was a must for the bags and may have to move the front crossmember forward about 1 inch.

Truck is looking good,something to check into if you have not already with your gas tank,i saw this past weekend on trucks [spike tv] they used the same tank and the filler was right under one of the cross rails for the bed

keep up the good work

Cool, thanks Scottmo! Didn't check it yet......may be time to pull out the cutting wheels!! I will take pics for everyone on the board as to where the crossrail is...as compared to the filler for a longbed. This site has helped tremendously during my build, keep up the great work everyone!!

Memorial Day weekend!! Got some more of the body work done, gettin everything straight on the truck with a little body filler here and there. Tipped the cab on it's back to undercoat the bottom after some major cleaning. Hopefully I will get the bottom coated this week.

It is actually my freinds long time dream that came true. We enjoy the shop very much. It's got 5 bays and it's about 25 ft deep, and there are two nice little workshops behind it for parts storage and other stuff. Guess I need to get some pics up of his project and the shop. Here is a couple of his project in the shop. **Note the attack cat layin by his frame, he watches the shop for us......seriously. He is the meanest cat I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.....but Tiger is cool.

Welcome to the Houston heat. Managed to get a few things done, like POR 15 the inside floor / firewall of the cab and the front half of the frame, front crossmember, trans crossmember. Also scored a cab/bed lift for $140 bucks off Craigslist, it made the job super easy.
