Can't stand the thought of a slow dropmember build eh?

Good to see you again brother. Thanks for the help.

well... my son and I did 8 hrs of driving today to get the wheels from the border.. (..that's 124 hrs of driving to get trucks and parts so far.. and counting.. I have issues..)

it was worth it..

I couldn't wait to try a quick ride height mock-up..

The truck came with a plastic fuel cell and Ray (previous owner) fabbed up a pretty cool mounting system... but.. I may end up going to an aluminum jobbie... maybe a boyds tank.. and as such.. I should wait before I mount the rear cross-member.

Damn, you could open up a hardware store with all the bolts in that thing, just kindin, looks killer man.

thx dudes... The pics don't do justice..
Next week we'll have rubber mounted and hopefully get to rolling chassis status.

Anyone know a machine shop in Calgary that's good to work with? I need my axles redrilled.

Im gonna have to rip down one day and take a look, Super super impressive build. Keep it up!!!

68chevyLQ4 · 06-16-2011, 10:57 AM

Nice truck. Love the wheels too..

classicchev · 06-16-2011, 10:38 PM

Great use for the kitchen table!!!!!! By the way you are going on that thing, you dont use it much anyways..

And yes, Corie does have a shop to machine your axels.

**kev2809** · 06-16-2011, 10:40 PM

well ok.. you got me..... actually it isn't really ride height... unless I'm cruisin' a nice flat parking lot really slow..

Pretty much that's how it will sit all aired out.

Kevin,

Your truck is looking awesome to say the least, and thank you again for the business...

Somebody has to keep me in line though.. thanks brother..

Ok.. last weekend I removed my <<wrong size>> lower ball joints and got new guys pressed in...

Also had my rear axles machined to fit my McGaughy's rotors and bolt pattern.

Put together the front end (mostly) and popped the axles in..

Bought some cross sills, removed the steel floor (took way longer than I spected)..

Hit my head really hard on the two master cylinder bolts on the brake booster... (my head is bald so I don't have the early warning danger detection system you hairy dudes have)..

That's about it for progress...

Supposed to get my tires in sometime in the next 48 hrs so hope to have the thing sitting on wheels/rubber and the cab removed this weekend so I can do the rest of the body drop and start plumbing..

Oh.. and... I sold my extra porterbuilt chassis to a cool cat here in Calgary.. so I finally have a little bit of room to operate.

..sorry for the crappy pics..

that's it so far..

**67cheby** · 06-23-2011, 09:24 AM

Super nice !!

Delmo · 06-23-2011, 09:50 AM

Ahhhhhh ya, lookin good bro. I'll send you a nerf helmet to wear while you're flangin.

stickelspeed · 06-26-2011, 02:44 AM

Ok.. .baby got a new set of shoes..

...finished installing my brakes... mounted everything up and set it on the ground..

here you go..

stickelspeed · 06-26-2011, 03:05 AM

It's not sitting right on the ground because the frame has a section under the cab where the frame rails bend/flare about 1 inch lower than the bottom of frame rail..

Not sure if I should try to bend this upwards or cut them out... will figure it out when I get the cab off...

PTS · 06-26-2011, 04:42 AM

Hey Kevin,

Your up late and the truck is looking great! Go get some sleep before you slip with a screwdriver...

Regards,

Perry
