Hi, Very nice truck.
Especially the weld work on frame! where did you buy the C-notch?
Or did you fabricate it yourself?

thanx man!! i fabbed the notches and bag brackets and all that my self

coulter · 09-28-2013, 01:56 AM

got some more done today!! ive been having an oil leak that is getting on my balancer and slinging oil everywhere. i thought it was the oil pan gasket so i swapped it out today.. just in case you guys were wondering if it can be done without pulling the engine, It can be done!! It was a pain but alot easier than pulling everything out. all i had to do was disconnect the exhaust hangers, some wires , motor mounts, and take the dizzy cap loose.. then lift it as high as it would go. the pan barely had room to come out but it worked..

btw the oil pan was not the main leak.. i ended up using a felpro 1 piece oil pan gasket.. i liked it alot better than the 4 piece stock gasket. I guess im gonna do the front main seal and timing cover tomorrow.

i wasnt happy with my cheesy vbelt pulleys and belt so i decided to get something better

also got some cool little cree leds to light up my engine bay.

this is just 2 lights. im gonna add one more in the hood

Bomp · 09-28-2013, 02:55 AM

Totally trick engine bay lighting.

chad64chevy · 09-28-2013, 07:56 AM

dude that's bad a$$, you got the gilmer belt drive with the vbelt groove in it! you can run power steering or ac off it too, I got the same one for my sbc! those lights are really cool

Ta2Don · 09-28-2013, 08:46 AM

Top Notch... and the LED lighting is Spot-on

This build is great. Love the Big block.

mr andrerson · 09-29-2013, 02:02 AM

Awsome....awesome.... Awesome work! Great eye for details and super workmanship throughout! As I'm thinking of a similar suspension configuration (especially having seen your well documented progress)... I'm wondering how the ride is? You didn't go with power steering or Brakes...how do they feel with the bb up front? Dig it!

thanx man!! The ride is amazing. it feels like an old Cadillac. I didnt go with power steering or brakes because i wanted the engine bay to have as little as possible in it. The brakes work pretty good. Of course more leg effort than power brakes but not to bad

Btw i changed my front timing cover gasket and front main seal and so far it looks like all my leaks are fixed now. Im going to get up and work on the bed floor some more before i go to work tomorrow.
A big thanx to chad64chevy for hooking me up with a set of rear wheel tubs today so i can finish widening mine

i only have a few weeks left to get the truck ready for the bbq at clemdaddys house but looks like i will make it no problem.

chad64chevy · 09-30-2013, 08:23 PM

hey coulter no prob. man, was good meeting you! sucks it wanted to start to rain! where did you get the led lights at?

coulter · 10-01-2013, 07:56 AM

ya man it was good to meet you too!! i found the leds on ebay by searching for reverse lights

Jeff La · 10-01-2013, 09:46 AM

Amazing what some of you come up with, truck is coming out great

**clemdaddy** · 10-07-2013, 03:12 PM

hey coulter, thanks for letting me piggyback your thread with an invite.
this invite is for any out there, close enough

**clemdaddy** · 10-07-2013, 03:16 PM

sorry about that. didn't finish the message. breaking in a new computer and hit the wrong button... so any interested in a drive to the ozarks to meet-up with some forum members, come on.

coulter · 10-07-2013, 03:23 PM

no problem man!! im pretty pumped about it.. I am almost ready!!

got the bed floor most of the way done this weekend.. didnt really take any progress pics but you get the idea..

nothing is bolted in place yet.

got my wheeltubs widened and fitted pretty good.. still lots of work to do on these!
thanx again chad for hooking me up with another set

and here is the reason why nothing is bolted down yet.. i spent a long time trying to figure out how i wanted to make some hinges to make the bed floor open up like the hood.. i still gotta make another one

**pimpston65** · 10-07-2013, 08:07 PM

great way to reuse a tool, hope they arent the cheap ones you get a xmas from a secret santa pool, hehe awesome idea

**pimpston65** · 10-07-2013, 10:26 PM

holy double take batman, ur right i really thought they were wrenches still cool design and use of steel pieces

Sick5 · 10-07-2013, 11:17 PM

Wow
Got some skill their. That's the one thing that seperates you from the rest. Keep them coming and dont forget to copy right that!

lowlife4life · 10-07-2013, 03:53 PM

Coolest hinge man. Bedwood is looking great. Been watching a patiently and it's all coming together glad to see

Ta2Don · 10-07-2013, 04:25 PM

Bedwood and Tubs looking Sweet!!!

Hinges... Over the top!!!

Looking forward to meeting you and seeing your Awesome truck at Clem's!

chad64chevy · 10-07-2013, 05:28 PM

thanx again chad for hooking me up with another set!!

no prob. man, glad you got some use out of them! they came out looking good! LOVE the wood floor, if I would've stayed with a wood floor it would've looked just like that! not to much, just PERFECT!! look forward to seeing the truck in person at clems

Dinos63 · 10-07-2013, 05:31 PM

very cool!! always way cool

McMurphy · 10-07-2013, 06:53 PM

Dude !!
I want 4 of those hinges!!
Just tell me where to throw my money ..... LOL

Seriously though, if you made up plans for those, could I get a copy of them?
For the past 18 months I have been struggling with the hinge problem for my bed concept, and the double action never occured to me, I kept fixating on the Porterbuilt style.
Something like this will work 100% better for my intended application.

If not on the plans, dont worry....I already stole the photo
