On that fender mod, did you cut out the template like that on both sides, then flipped it over and welded it on the other fender??? NICE... Im thinking of cutting my lights out completely, just making it flush... I think that looks clean. |

Kevin - why don't you buy one of those kerosene space heaters? My buddy used to use one of those in his 2400 sqf shop and it worked like a champ. He has since added central heat and air, ![]() R

[QUOTE=Rokcrln;2491516]Well maybe if I would stop making things harder on my self!
I did a few "Light Mods" today to match my bed that I did months ago. I don't even think any one noticed the bed "Light Mods" untill the post after this one ![]() Got to give it up for skchevota, he noticed your bed light mod on 3/21/07... You do amazing work Kevin; I check on your build threads every chance I have & plan to attempt my own version of Low Buk with my 72 LWB leaf spring Cheyenne outlined in this thread. (Except staying with the stock drivetrain.) Thanks for all the info you share with the rest of us!

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Being sick sucks! But the good news is the Brown Santa has been here the past two days giving gifts to those who have been good! Sure glad I ordered under my wife's name
![]() Yesterday I recieved the parts from ECE, inner and outer rockers and A post bottoms. Then today the big slay dropped off the glass box from LMC. I bought all new glass for the truck, Windshield with green tint and the shaded top section, door, wing and rear glass as well all tinted a UV green. That should help a bit with the sun and here in Ca. it is the only legal side window tint as long as it is a factory tint not a film. Now I have all my parts but just not any time but that is better than time but no parts. I hope to head back to work in a day or so and get back on the truck in the same time at night.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Spent about 35min tonight getting started on the rockers. I will post a few shots here but all the info will be in another post so it can be turned into a How-To thread for the FAQ section of the board. Krue needs a few more for his list

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I think it would be a bad idea to try this. The metal in their is always a bit rusty and trying to weld it would be tough and ugly. If you did get it all welded and ground smooth their would still be the problem of sitting water in the drip rail that I feel would work its way thru the paint and start to rust. If you are woried about looks then go with the self leveling drip rail caulk and call it good. Or shave

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well we were supose to go down to my parents yesterday but that changed untill first thing in the morning so I got a bit more work done. I put in about 20hrs in the last two days and made good progress. I started with some very un-straite fenders and doors not to mention alot of holes, 45 just in the pass side door!
Well after the dust comed down I had the fenders and doors in build primer and now they are ready for the first round of block sanding. Kevin LFD Inc. |
