Nope, first year I've gone. The wife and I just moved down here about two years ago and finally I'm getting into the truck science down here. We stayed until about 6. What shop do you work for?

Re: Tripp's Speed Shop Build
You're kidding me....
I had no idea. You sir, do what I have always wanted to do. I unfortunately never had a chance to get into it professionally, or even learn on a professional level. What do you do for them?

Re: Tripp's Speed Shop Build
I have not yet, no. But hopefully will in the near future. It's a couple hours north of me so not super convenient.

Re: Tripp's Speed Shop Build
Been a little bit. Have been saving for parts! I ordered some metal for my rear notch today. Been trying to decide how Im going to do my bridge but Im sure I will figure it out when I get to it. I really like the "floating notch" 67Cheby did on his so I may steal his idea. Ill be ordering a 4-link in the next couple weeks as well. Have decided to order some patch panels for the cab and do some body work on that while I save for suspension part. I knew what I wanted when I decided to drop the truck but man its getting expensive!

Re: Tripp's Speed Shop Build
Cool...one of these days work might settle down to where I get a day or weekend off so I can pick them up. I'm on 11 hours already today and going back at it after a snack break....

Re: Tripp's Speed Shop Build
Well I suppose its time for a small update.
Havent done anything drastic as of late. Been saving for parts. While saving for parts decided I wanted to up my air compressor so I went on good old CL and found a nice Rand 4000 made by Ingersoll-Rand. This was of course a set back on parts money because I then had to spend about $500 to wire a dedicated sub panel in my garage for 220v because I did not have any existing. Although it was a small set back its nice because I can put the plugs anywhere I feel necessary. I also received my Thorbeck Bros rear notch. I would have like to go with the Porterbuilt rear but but feel I have a little more creativity room with just the notch. Since I received the pieces I decided it is a good time to start tearing apart and prepping the rear of the frame for install. Boy, these were a PAIN to get out. Ive read many a build and always thought... "well it cant be that hard to cut the head off and bang em out". Well, it can. I also ended up having to cut the old heat treated rear springs as they were so rusted and worn they would not break free, From here I figured since Im working on the rear Might as well tear this old beat up bed apart and figure out what I can actually repair/ use off it. Youll notice here the Driver side bed side is pretty tore up. I could probably repair it but I feel it is not worth the effort at this point. All apart. The Bed itself is a little worn in. Still deciding if I want to try and use this. From here the next update should be fitting and welding the notch. Looking into buying a tubing bender for the sole purpose of the rear notch and bridge. Doing that will just set me back on parts so we shall see.

Re: Tripp's Speed Shop Build
Good progress on the chassis and bed disassembly. I totally remember how hard it was to get those rivets out on my cross member. I ended up buying a cheap Harbor freight air hammer. It worked pretty good but it still took a bfh to break them loose. I think they were red hot when they put them together. Like they form to the hole....
Keep the pictures coming. |

Re: Tripp's Speed Shop Build
Good start on the truck. Looks to be some decent metal you have. That goes a long ways and takes a minority of frustration out of the process!!

Re: Tripp's Speed Shop Build
You still have both beds? Did you decide which you're going with?
One thing I've had to do is buy a lot of special tools for this truck. I try and do everything myself also, within reason. Plus it's good learning experience. Looking good man. You'll make PT2018 no sweat. |

Re: Tripp's Speed Shop Build
Not yet. I'm leaning toward the fleetside but it's going to cost me more money to do that. I've spent 1-2k on tools for this truck. Well I use them for other things but the original use was for the truck.
I do the same thing. Try and do it myself. Paint is going to be a different story thought. PT2018 ftw!!

Re: Tripp's Speed Shop Build
Looking good Rob, nice compressor, always nice to have one that can keep up with the air tools.
