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.

Thanks for the hookup on the brakes Tommy, everything looks great so far.

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...

I am really stoked to be to this point, need to finish installing the truss and motor mounts on the main crossmember next.

slowcpe · 12-09-2014, 10:48 AM

Looking good. Those pics are making me re-think waiting on a DM.

**GAc10boy** · 12-09-2014, 11:02 AM

Killer progress! PB stuff looks great! Still salivating over the new wheels, too! Gonna look sweet on that white.

Thanks guys! To this point it's just been manual labor, now the fun begins putting the puzzle together.

"If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up." - Farris Beuller

The only regrets I have are not going with the touring vs mild and not ordering the inner frame structure PB now offers. The reason I say that is I believe the touring ride height will be closer to the drop this truck had when I got it (5.5/7 vs 4/6) and I plan on driving this truck like a sports car so the inner structure would be nice to make the chassis more rigid. I may still order it and install it later when it comes in.

aggie91 · 12-09-2014, 11:16 AM

Go on, order it, you know you want too!

ksbrktracer · 12-09-2014, 12:23 PM

I want one too ..... !

**nlped** · 12-09-2014, 01:04 PM

ME ThReE! That inner structure is sexy!!!

I've been thinking about it the last few days and very well may. It'll probably mean the truck won't see the summer deadline I put on myself but I also don't look forward to pulling the motor to just to replace the crossmember. Just go with the touring and I'll buy your mild at a deeply discounted rate since its "used"

Seriously though if you think you may want to go touring hit me up.

I REALLY REALLY like the new crossmember brace but couldn't bring myself to spend that much money so I went with the adjustable TA one. Its totally worth the money but I'd rather have a DM instead.

I'm going to find out if I can swap it even though I already cut the rear of the frame for the notch... We'll see what Nate says.
