20x8.5 (5.25" bs) and 20x10 (6.0" bs). The tubs could house a little more but not much so I didn't see a reason to push it and cause myself any issues.

Oh yea!! Gonna have to pick up a few 7/16 drill bits and some of what we call "Duck Butter" to keep them sharp.

**Bowtie468** · 12-05-2014, 12:07 AM

Oh yeah , those wheels are Sweeeet !

BB72CHEVKT · 12-05-2014, 12:05 PM

I never wanted to say anything about the old wheels but always thought something else would look better. I think the new wheels will look great with the white paint.

ksbrktracer · 12-05-2014, 12:56 PM

Good to see everything showed up and it looks like you are making some good progress . New Wheels are gonna look good as well .. !

Malamute · 12-05-2014, 01:17 PM

I like the wheels, they will look good on that truck.

SeTx67 · 12-05-2014, 10:27 PM

Nice progress Buck. All the porterbuilt is making me have bad thoughts

. I like the new wheel choice also

I like them too, but I like the Dagger Gs the more.

Maintain brutha... maintain.

Progress for today was HUGE, and I am beat so I'm not sure how much will get done tomorrow. I may have to take another health day.

Just two more crossmembers to go and the frame mods will be pretty much done and we will be on to mocking up the suspension components.

Anyway, I was able to get the front crossmember mocked up. Thanks to Nate Porter for a customer service call to help me find and figure out some hardware, these things take a ton of bolts!

Its going to be so nice.
You are doing it the best way.
Mock up everything!
Brake lines, fuel lines, steering, etc.
Then blow part for paint.
No surprises later.

67c10rustbuket · 12-07-2014, 09:41 AM

Great build! I will be watching.

**nlped** · 12-07-2014, 11:27 AM

Looks like you & I made the same mistake... I put the notch in (472 bolts to hold it in) before putting the panhard bar support crossmember in

. At least you only have to take 1 notch back out (236 bolts

). Progress is looking great. And Keith is right... Mock it up completely... That's my plan, if I'll quit buying new cooler (ie $$$'er) parts.

Yep, going to handle that this morning

C10_ustacould · 12-07-2014, 06:02 PM

Well, I spent the morning correctly installing the panhard bar crossmember and mount. I also installed the core support crossmember. Pics...
