Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
I don't know who would be more ashamed of me; the Ancient Egyptians or Kevin from LFD. I know Delmo would be proud though..
I was a one man show trying to pull the cab off the frame and I don't have LFDs one man cab lift setup so I went the ghetto route. I blocked the cab up on 10' 4x4s and slide the frame out sideways. ![]() ![]() In the end, I got the job done, didn't wreck anything... so I guess it's all good. ![]() ![]() ![]() Also started to get the rest of the body drop stuff going but only got as far as removing 1/2 of the rivets/mounts as I ran out of cutting wheels and I shattered my chisel. Will finish the rest of it tomorrow (hopefully) and will post up pics once I've don't that.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
Looking good!
Been away for a few days/weeks and it's nice to see progress shots. The wheels look amazing; money well spent.

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
Hey Guys.
I'm alive. Thanks for the interest. Del, you've got good spidey senses. Sorry for the radio silence but I've been 100% out of the truck building business for the last 5 months. I've been 100% tied up with work (read: lot's of travel time away from home). I have a couple of weeks off for Christmas/New Years so I decided it was time to get out in the garage. Here are some shots of the truck from Mid-summer and the last time I made progress. I trimmed the inner-boxsides to clear the wheels/tires, did the rest of the body drop stuff, ran my airlines, and decided to run brakequip braided/coated brake lines (it'll be an expensive experiment) and had those all built up to my specs. I think that's about all I did since my last update.. here are the shots. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Worlds Slowest Dropmember Build
Fast forward to today... I cleaned up my garage enough so I could actually do some work...
I ran my brake lines and got them installed up front enough so that I can mount the engine/trans and get the trans support positioned. I plan to do this tomorrow. I hope to get engine/trans mounted and maybe set the cab on the frame tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. I took some artsy-fartsy pictures al a Delmo but unfortunately I don't have any cool speedshop eye candy in the background to really pull it off.. Anyway .. here are some shots of how things sit as of today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
