I noticed the rear leafs had the low buck drop technique done to them.......hehehehe.

im not sure what type of diff. it is? it was in the truck when i got it. the drop technique was also included by the P.O. haha, the front coils were also cut to go along with it!

thanks for all the support guys... i cant wait for it either! i got some more progress finished up today, but not pics yet. so far i have finished the "z" and the c-notches. i also took the whole frame apart. next thing is to get the lower control arms modified and make a trans x-member. ill get some pics up sometime tomorrow hopefully!

SBCustoms · 01-12-2008, 06:26 PM

c-notch with x-members tacked up

royo · 01-24-2008, 07:53 AM

Any updates

BACKYARD88 · 01-24-2008, 08:13 AM

Looking good!

SBCustoms · 01-27-2008, 06:39 AM

Lately, ive been at a stand still, waiting for driveshaft, trans x-member, and other plans. i havent decided on all of them yet. although i did get a '71 or '72 parts truck with front disc brakes. ill post pics soon. thanks for the compliments guys.

Slmd92DIME · 01-27-2008, 09:05 AM

Looks good man. Waitin on some more progress pics

SBCustoms · 02-19-2008, 11:47 AM

ive gotten a ton of progress done lately... pics to come very soon, but i need some help. what types of fuel cells are out there for an affordable price to fit in between the rear frame rails. i appreciate the help.

billdo · 02-20-2008, 06:15 AM

look at jegs they have plastic ones and their cheap but thats ur choice make sure if u go plastic u dont drag it lol

SBCustoms · 02-20-2008, 10:42 AM

yea i was hoping to go alumin for that reason. i dont plan on dragging much if any but if i decide to, then ill be ready for it, ya know!

but then again, i could always make an metal case to surround the cell.
thanks, Phil

cflvulcan · 02-20-2008, 10:55 AM

truck is coming good, somewhere along the line when i get more time and money, i wanna do the same. my opinion would be to put the fuel cell in the bed just for safety reasons if you do decide to drag ya know. cause im sure you know that slightest gas leak with be trouble but just my opinion. but keep up the good work...

tvblazer78 · 03-01-2008, 06:49 PM

Philip,

What!! I did not know you started this.. Looks cool and am going to have to come out and see it. Mine is about 98% done. I will come out with it one day.

If you want a cheap, good tank build it yourself. I built mine out of 16 gauge steel to fit the rear rails perfectly and you can't see it from the side or back. Even holds 25 gallons and fills inside the bed near the taillight/bed pocket. Coated the inside with fuel tank sealer ($20) and it holds 20psi when I pressure tested it. I only have $50 in the tank start to finish.

Spray-Bomb · 07-03-2009, 12:48 PM

Looks good bro, keep it up

BTW, that would be a step notch, not a C notch

How deep did you make the step notch ???
Cuz if its less than 8" then you prolly wont be laying frame without really short tires
