Re: Project: "just a little rust repair"
Here's when I made the wide whites for the black truck a few years back, took white letter tires and ground them down with a 4-1/2" grinder with a normal grinding wheel, went to a tiger paw/flap wheel then finished up with some sand paper. They turned out pretty decent, they're "10 footers" lol but it beats paying to buy them though.

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
Thank you! And on the o2 sensors no I didn't I'm actually trying to figure out what to do with them now, I'm thinking about putting the bungs in the reducers right after the collectors, any suggestions of placement or angle they should be?

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
Thanks guys! I never in a million years would've dreamed that this truck would have a frame like this under it, and like the title says it all started out with "just a little rust repair" lol luckily for me the guy helping me said he wanted a challenge and wanted to do a full round tube. It has definitely been worth it.

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
I can't believe I've missed this so far. Man, you are so LUCKY!!! Frame is awesome, Vette running gear is wicked and the LS2 drivetrain is sick. I'm officially jealous!

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
Well I'm glad you found it and thanks! It all happened to time up really well last fall and my grandpa having the Vette drivetrain in his barn and deciding he wasn't going to use it really worked out for me lol thats what got this ball rolling.

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
LOL yeah we've got it pretty well taken care of now! it started out with needing the usual cab corners, rockers, bottoms of doors, and along the top of the windshield inside the cab....... and that has lead to all of this. One thing lead to another in a huge way this time.

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
Amazing build. Keep the progress comming. So how did your grandfather end up with the vette suspension and what was he originally going to do with it?

Thanks! I'll keep the updates coming! Thanks! He got the suspension back in 1994 out of a wrecked vette and was going to put it under the 58' vettte he has but never ended up using it and decided when we had my truck tore down for the rust repair that we should use it on my truck, so no complaints came from me lol

Really nice job on that frame and those wheels give it another look I like it. 1700 is a real good deal for those wheels just ordered my 20x12 racelines and paid 1530 just for the rear wheels.Like the way the 18s look on your truck hope the 20s dont look to big on mine.
