The plans for right now are just to Z it. It really doesn't need much to get it down in the dirt, Its on the A arms and cross member right now. I wish I could drop the scrill to buy drop spindles tho. That would be the best option.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-21-2010, 10:53 PM

come on sam undate this thread I know you have done more to the truck I have seen it.....

sams60gmc · 06-22-2010, 11:40 PM

Alright Luke here you go! Big update on what I've been up to lately.
I finally took it down to my work and chopped of the rear frame and got my rear clip installed. The front clip is off the cab is ready to be lifted off and motor is ready to be pulled. After that is done I'll Z the frame and clean it all and paint it.
Here are some pics.

sams60gmc · 06-22-2010, 11:43 PM

Moar!

sams60gmc · 06-22-2010, 11:45 PM

And one more of what I did today, made a battery box to mount it in the rear, it will have some cool machined aluminum tie down and the cables will run thru the frame up to the motor.

scotts62 · 06-22-2010, 11:55 PM

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-23-2010, 01:02 AM

Thanks Luke. And that's not my house in the background mine is one to the right.

Ornery37 · 07-09-2010, 05:21 AM

Nice build! I like the stance.

sams60gmc · 07-10-2010, 04:35 PM

Update. Almost got my front z done. Just need to gusset the bottom up. And made a battery box and hold down for the rear.

sams60gmc · 07-28-2010, 11:36 PM

Update of where I'm at now on my truck. Figured out it wouldn't go as low as I wanted it to so I decided to do a stock floor body drop. Here are some pictures. In the process of trying to find a power rack to buy right now gonna call up some junk yards in the morning.

narx66gmc · 07-28-2010, 11:58 PM

thats a great looking truck with that bed on it. keep up the good work and keep the pix coming.

fryer1979 · 07-29-2010, 02:50 AM

Very cool custom fab work. Looking forward to the finished product and a whole lot more pics.

sams60gmc · 08-07-2010, 12:03 AM

Thanks guys, been making progress almost every day. Bought a power rack and pinion set up and got my truck back to a rolling chassis to mock it all up. Body mounts hit the ground and I've still got about another 2'' it could drop.

andyspinstriping · 08-07-2010, 06:32 PM

It looks like you have built one hell of a cool truck so far...I want to tear into mine as well and do all the frame fab like you so it can get the killer low stace. Thanks for showing the step by step!

sams60gmc · 08-13-2010, 12:09 AM

Thanks guys.
Here is a progress video.

sams60gmc · 08-26-2010, 08:34 PM
