Forgot to mention that it is already a dually truck. so that can get you much further on your project.

longbedrick · 11-25-2009, 02:12 AM

Don't forget that black panel truck in the first pic. He wants to be restored too

ruffrida2005 · 11-25-2009, 02:34 AM

What are you gonna do with that 4BT I need that for my S10.

has anyone seen Jonnie. he doesn't seem to respond to either emails or phone calls .
he was to respond to me with some parts in exchange for the doors,frames and roof sections for his project, but seems to be avoiding me

perhaps I am sailing up a creek without paddles

there was this in october....?
then another post about doing a long dually in december, but no more mention of the crew project, except for in his sig....
last logged on in december, wonder if he went active/overseas?

padresag · 02-21-2010, 10:59 PM

I did talk to him around christmas and havent heard from him since. he said that he was going to get on with it

ruffrida2005 · 02-22-2010, 12:52 AM

last time I talked to him is when I asked about his 4BT he PMed me a couple days later.

padresag · 02-26-2010, 02:59 PM

Jonnies back! they shipped him off to Haiti. I guess that they don't give you much time when they do that

sailed2japan · 03-22-2010, 12:27 PM

I'm finally back home to Texas! I've been gone for months, but It's time to get back to it. I'm not sure where this project is going to go I've been thinking about putting the 4bt/nv4500 I have into the SWB/BBW that I've got then building a C60 Crewcab with a Cummins 6CT 8.3L, 10 speed, and possibly as a 6x6? Only time will tell, but I want to do something truly unique with the crew cab stuff as I am sure this will be the only oppurtunity I ever get to do so.

sailed2japan · 10-13-2010, 03:58 PM

Well, I left again, and now I'm back again, but soon to leave again. This time it seems I'll be leaving Texas in my past. I've been asked to head up to Virginia for a stint of active duty for an undertermined length of time, but at least a year. I'm going to have to be getting rid of ALL my truck stuff. I really hate to let this dream go.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-13-2010, 04:23 PM

I'm glad to see you home safely, but sorry to hear about you having to sell your truck stuff to make the move. Good luck man!

ruffrida2005 · 10-13-2010, 05:29 PM

Welcome back to the states. I hope you have fun up in VA. Sorry to hear about you having to sell all the truck stuff. If I had the money I would get that 4BT.

LT1 Burb · 10-14-2010, 09:48 AM

I wouldn't mind getting 2 nice SWB bed sides if you have any and feel like shipping them to Oregon.

blacklistcustoms · 10-14-2010, 11:54 AM

I too use .025 mig wire, however if you experiment you can use .035 and play with the heat. using the wire size to dissipate some heat and not warp the material, make sure you skip across alot(stitch weld). Only prob with mig welding body panels is the welded area is harder than the rest of the panel and cannot be dollied out. You would need a tig to hammer and dollie the seam line.

fink64 · 12-23-2010, 04:16 PM

hey dont worry you can always bury it in that big hole in the back yard lol

lmdangerous · 12-24-2010, 06:56 PM

Cool project - keep us posted - used to have a 55 coe I wanted to turn into a crew cab- never had the guts to cut it up and try it - Talk about super cool push truck for my fed.
Merry Xmas
Mitch

lmdangerous · 12-24-2010, 07:05 PM

Sorry about the having to sell to move ( Sail2Japan) - Uncle Sam has some pretty big shops and stuff up there - no way you can hide it in one of those - surley some one there can help you out - anybody up there got anyspace to help this guy. HE and all of our Armed Forces are the reason we can all do this anyway. Anyway thanks for all you have done / and are sacrificing .Have a good Xmas-

ruffrida2005 · 12-24-2010, 09:27 PM

Man if you want you can keep the truck in my backyard. I have a lot of room.

sailed2japan · 12-25-2010, 10:39 PM

Thanks for the offer, but it doesn't do me any good to have a truck in TX when I don't know if I'll ever be back.

sailed2japan · 12-14-2011, 03:48 AM

well, this will be my final post for this thread the CC dream is gone and I'm on to building a 1966 one ton
