I put the bed on to get a look at it with the cab corner.

oilyrag80 · 07-01-2014, 11:21 PM

I also ran into another snag, apparently my cab has been sitting on the trailing arm crossmember. Not sure exactly how i'm going to fix it yet but I have a few ideas.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-01-2014, 11:28 PM

Great work! Looking at your thread is always a bad deal for me as I want to build one so bad......

It's not supposed to do that, I'm guessing you bought a cab/bed mounting kit, well did you have any washers left over?
If not you may have too many washers on the wrong side of the frame mounts.

Well it happened because the rear portion of my floor is stock suburban and in the suburban the trailing arm crossmember is farther forward then it is now. I added like 20 some inches to the wheel base so there is no clearance in this area of the floor to clear the crossmember. It is not a big deal I knew it was close, just need to decide how I want to fix it. This is one of the things I would have done different if I started this project today I would of used the truck cab floor in the rear and I wouldn't of ran into this problem. I am also going to have to fab all seat mounting points as well because of this.

Oh geeze yeah I somehow convienantly forgot you merged a suburban and a c10 haha can I delete that post and we can pretend it never happened?

Looks great! I'm sure you can fix that little interference problem pretty easy. Just a matter of making a cover plate and welding it in.

It shouldn't be a big deal I think I may cut out the orginal one and move it back then use a flat peice to replace that hole. In the pic you can see the orginal one and where I need to move it.

bodydropped68 · 07-03-2014, 09:21 AM

That should work

oilyrag80 · 07-08-2014, 09:52 PM

got a little done over the weekend I cut out the hump for the crossmember and welded in a flat piece got in tacked in.

oilyrag80 · 07-18-2014, 10:48 PM

I made mounts for the rear seat. I made some plates with nuts welded to them then welded them on the botom side of the floor. then I cut some 14ga
out for the top to help distribute the weight from the seat. I also made the other speaker mount and seam sealed everthing. Only thing left for the rear is the seatbelt mounts.

BigDaddyV · 07-19-2014, 08:50 AM

Man you are killin this thing! I love it. Need more!

**Palf70Step** · 07-19-2014, 09:41 AM

I always forget about floor bolts until I am installing stuff. Again, your are doing great work with this conversion.

oilyrag80 · 07-19-2014, 09:11 PM

working on door gap today the I set the driver side up at 1/8 gap so I had to make the passenger side match it was like 3/16. the first pic is the driver side rear door second is what the passenger side looked like before I started

oilyrag80 · 07-19-2014, 09:17 PM

I used the old welding wire trick to build up the gap

oilyrag80 · 07-19-2014, 09:56 PM

here it is almost done just a little fine tuning with a straight file and it will match the other side. 2nd pic is of the door edge
