Ask cousin Clayton for a good price and I'll take them

jkaylor68gmc · 05-06-2008, 06:16 PM

Cousin CLayton? He did hop in and cruise the yellow truck for a couple hours at Knoxville.

jb4short · 05-08-2008, 03:24 PM

HOLY mother of all extreme rakes! Time to turn that 4" rear drop into a 7".....looks like c-notch time!

jkaylor68gmc · 05-08-2008, 03:26 PM

yep, the back has got to come down! or some larger tires.

It is beginning to look like a truck again.

I need one of Nate's weekends to come perform his magic....and no; you still can't have it back

Truck is going to look great!

You have the engine/tranny in the front, but essentially no weight in the rear. The bedwood, tailgate, bumper and cab should help bring the rear down.

Thanks!

I thought the same thing but I'm a fat-a!@%$ and I don't compress the springs that much. I've got to weigh as much as wood and a full tank of fuel

Burnham - lay off the caffeine before taking pics

It's coming together!

I can't figure out this camera we bought for the shop. There's got to be something set wrong

jkaylor68gmc · 05-10-2008, 04:53 PM

The problem with the pic is there is low light in the shop. If you do not flash it, the shutter has to stay open much much longer resulting in blurry pics.

The longest open shutter you can hold is about a 1/15. Any lower than that and you need a tri-pod.

Burnham, set up a few lights or open the doors and get more light in.

*5 J's* · 05-10-2008, 04:54 PM

Do you store it near the tequila? That could cause it to take "fuzzy" pics

Josh; yes you need it- in fact you can see where I cut that one for the roll pan w/license frame. We're developing this piece for the wood bed floor. We have it for the steel floor but not the wood. Ours came from Mar-K and is an EXCELLENT piece and I would not hesitate to recommend them to you. They're a site vendor here and all my experiences with them have been excellent.

Dude, that thing looks good, but it really needs a cab...What's up with that!

It doesn't look like the firewall has the factory braces up the front, from the bottom up.... What's the fix for those?
