Thanks Tony,

I would rather go with the Kp components watts link, but I changed my rear-end out for a ford 9". That's why I was thinking of going with the Totally Polished one instead. Maybe I can get clint to make me a one of peice, for development purposes, lol. I believe I will be running 22's all around & probably something along the lines of 265/35R22 for tires. So I take it your pretty close to being done on your front end? Thanks for the compliments.

Bigshoe24,

Yeah my front is almost done, just need my shock mounts to show up in the mail and need to order all the steering linkage! Then I plan on buying the new Kp rear 6 link when its available! I also plan on running 22's but got some 20's as a really cheap trade, so i'll roll those till I decide what 22's I want.

keep us posted looks good!

bagged81 · 08-05-2007, 09:59 PM

Looks like a very nice project!

BigShoe24 · 08-09-2007, 07:28 PM

Just got my Poterbuilt Crossmember in today. Looks great so far, thanks Nathan. The only bad thing is I'm leaving for Vegas in the morning, so it will have to wait. I'll try to post some pics when I get started.

chevydog66 · 08-09-2007, 10:00 PM

Bedsled71 what size cup would you use in order to remove the top bag plate? Do you need to secure it anywhere?

BigShoe24 · 08-16-2007, 07:08 PM

Well, Im officaially layin frame, thanks to Poterbuilt! The Crossmember went on perfect.I have to say Nathan does excellent work. I hope anyone considering purchasing one does so. One issue though, the rear of my truck is about an inch & half higher, oh well. Hopefully it will all work out. Thanks Nathan.

hey fastbagged i've never seen your ride in person YYYYYY??? LOOKS BADA$$$$$$ SHOW THAT THING OFF WHERE'S TRI VALLEY???

fastbagged68 · 08-24-2007, 07:23 PM

I don't show off my ride, because I'm not happy with it!!!!

The doors don't shut for s*#t. The new motor now has a rod knock after 500 miles. There is a lot of stuff I want to fix on it. I am planning on building new frame with a Porterbuilt dropmember and 4 link out back. I was stupid and welded in the stock crossmember and boxed the whole frame, otherwise I would just put in a porterbuilt member in that. As soon as I finish my s-10 I will start on it and get it driving again. But until then I need to finish my s-10 to go racing!!!

fastbagged68 · 08-24-2007, 07:25 PM

Tri Valley is in nor cal. near the bay area. Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon area.

Dinos63 · 08-24-2007, 11:20 PM

Tts cool to lay the frame , and even cooler the way it drives,youll be twisted how well it steers and handles, trust me on on my third drop member

64shortc10 · 08-24-2007, 11:41 PM

Wheres all the pics????? I wanna see the progress!

Fastbagged68:} Will you be at the Pleasonton car show tommorrow? By the way I love the burban! Forget the s-10, Everyones got one of them fix the BURBAN!

Dinos63:} Maybe when you get a chance you could help me out? I'm wanting to lay my 64 out on 22's and already have the dropmember installed up front. What I was wondering is if you could measure the c-notch on you 66? I want to order a Kp notch but dont now how big to get on a 29in. tall tire?
P.S can I get a job where ever it is you work because you have alot of dope rides!
Thanks!

fastbagged68 · 08-25-2007, 02:24 AM

I might go by the ptown car show tomorrow if I have time. I have a free pass, so we will see. I want to get my S-10 done.....Not many guys will have one like mine.... tubbed, fab 9 rearend, 434 sbc w/15-1 compression, and slammed. It should run high 9's.

Thanks tony, your trucks lookin slick also ,I well get a measurement on that rear notch and get back to you,nate set it up so that we could get a even bigger roller ( 24") on the back, I like 20 up front ,it works the best for me, and the way i like to drive, come out to az and I well put you to work,and if you get out here come drive the green monster.... no kidding

Dinos63 · 08-26-2007, 01:43 PM

Tony,your truck is a big back window!! Man.. thats next on my list. Nate's got me a frame almost done .This one will be big back window and corvette c4susp. Maybe at the delmar show .only as a roller

BigShoe24 · 08-31-2007, 03:25 AM

Anyone who wants to help me out on getting the perfect air system picked out can get a free ride on my boat. Any suggestions? Hope to see some of you in Dallas, Thanks

I suggest we stick one of those huffers in may wagon

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-02-2007, 11:43 PM

Let me know what the perfect air system is as im new to em but damn lets see some full pics of that boat..

BigShoe24 · 09-07-2007, 05:16 PM

I cant decide if I want to go with two thin 5 gallon tanks or one large one. If I go with the two 5g I would like to hide them under the bed or some place. Any pictures or ideas would be great. If I do one large tank, then I'll probably just mount it in the bed. Thanks for the help as always.

What compressor(s) are you planning on running? I have had good results with one 5 gallon tank. Dino has a couple trucks running an Oasis pump and a 5 gallon tank... he hits the switches plenty and it's seems to be an efficient set-up.

BigShoe24 · 09-10-2007, 08:00 PM

Im trying a new way to post some pics, this may take a cpl try's to get correct.

Dinos63 · 09-10-2007, 11:59 PM

Big shoes,looks good, stick with the 5 gallon,and the oasis,you can hit the switches all you want when you want plenty air to play
