I'm pretty sure you're saying what I'm going to do in a "different way"..... the bed is NOT going to move or be changed at all ..... the rearend housing will be moved forward (5" or so) and then the fenders (wheelwell opening) centered over the wheels/tires.

try editing your post and add [IMG] to the front of each link.

What I have been doing to add pictures is to page/arrow down to the bottom of the page into the " Additional Options" section.... then click on "manage files" which will bring up a window which will allow you to add pictures from your computer's picture files.... works for me.... easy to do.

the rearfenders should modify eazely just cut a rectangle out of each one with 5 inch offset to the front when measured from the centre of the wheel in its stock position and weld the leftside piece in the rightside fender and vice versa if you make the pieces exactly the same there should be hardly any hamering involved

that works too but you have to have the pictures resized. and you are limited to 5 pics per post that way!

I usually take all my pictures for use on the internet/computer (low pizels) so that way works for me.

I did NOT know about the "5 pic" limit..... plus I usually don't post that many at a time.... at least not until I start my "BUILD THREAD".... if that ever happens....HA!!!!

[drag_72]

sorry they are so big i forgot to resize them!! if u cant tell my first time at posting pics lol

[drag_72]

how do u start a build thread?

[watahyahknow]

press on new topic while being in the build forum

[djracer]

I doubt anyone would mind if you started it in this section.

[drag_72]

i dont wanna interupt ur build thread

[57sailplane]

i think he means to start a new thread of your own in the drag racing column.. not sure but i think.. first you must check in. then go to the bottom of all the threads and at the left theres a botton that says new thread just like the one yor are clicking on here for reply..

[drag_72]

ooo haha yah i get it lol

[drag_72]

i just checked out ur thread! that truck is gonna be sweet! so when u hopin for the debut? lol

[57sailplane]

man i am doing body work right now. this is what i have been putting off during the hole project and has probably slowed the build alot.. wish i knew of a good body man for cheap.. anyways i hope and i do mean hope to get it close to driving this spring...

[drag_72]

yah i know wat ya mean! but my dad owns his own shop so we kinda have a couple of guys that do mine for cheap. i only have minor bodywork to do. a kid that had the truck before me just had a little 350 LT1 and he wrecked it in the back bed but shouldnt be to bad from the guys that i have talked to to fix it. im hopin this spring too

[drag_72]

so dj... did u ever find out bout that center console for me?

[djracer]

Sorry brother its history.

[drag_72]

damn lol so do u think my stock rear end with a lil beafin up would hold up if i put sum coil overs under it? i thnk it should be alright?

[watahyahknow]

go with a ford 9 inch it makes things a lot eazier in the long run

[djracer]

I'd say it depends on how fast you want to go. If you want to go sub 13's a 9inch is much better.

[drag_72]

ya i agree with both of you. how much u think i could pick a 9 in. up for?

[watahyahknow]

DJ do you know ?........over here about 150 euro (the netherlands ) in running order

i would absolutely go for a 9 inch , there not only stronger but its eazier to change the ratio too you can set the centersection up out side the axle and keep it for when you need it , if you have a second center section and the C clip eliminator thingy you can go from a streetfriendly detroit locker with highway gear to a balls out spoolsetup with 4.10's in about half an hour

[drag_72]

yah im gonna try to find a 9 in. layin around sum were that needs rebuilt lol i gotta go cheap but i will make it better lol
