Looking good! Quick question: do you know what type of glass beads were used on the control arms? Mine are pretty grimey and those look good.

Thanks

Thank you Tim,

#8 glass bead... you can get it at New England Silica if you don't have a local source.

Bent up some 4130, made some brackets for the brake lines and assembled the rest of the front end parts. Going to make a sway bar next!

**Gary V** · 07-25-2015, 08:34 PM

Waiting on some parts for the sway bar so I decided to get the body in position for some major floor mods. Made up a couple of lift bars that use the door hinge and striker screw holes for mounting. All in all a good days work!

And one more of my great friend Joe clowning around.

**Gary V** · 08-06-2015, 10:24 PM

Little update... decided to take advantage of the overhead crane and build a rig to move the cab around. Anyone know where the CG of the stripped cab is?

Some pics

Free Candy Inside · 08-06-2015, 10:34 PM

Killer work

mud.man.rj · 08-06-2015, 10:56 PM

Nice use of the crane, good setup being adjustable, really like this build.

66-PMD-GMC · 08-07-2015, 02:06 AM

It's just behind the wing window.
The front 1/3 of the cab weighs about the same as the back 2/3rds.

**Gary V** · 10-18-2015, 08:17 PM

Thank you! Well been pretty busy with work work and life in general. Back at it though.... here's some pics

Hi Grunt, I cut the frame between the front cab mount holes. The frame straightens out there and if you use the mounts you can sandwich the frame cut for more strength. Here's a pic

Thank you Frank! If you post a build thread send me a link... I'd like to take a look see!

Ok workin on it! As I mentioned the truck will have two tanks one for high octane and the other for C16 race fuel. Started welding everything together... here's some pics of the layout. Will post details of innards next week.

tinydb84 · 10-19-2015, 12:19 AM

Fabbed up a new mid plate... a little Halloween humor. Machined an adapter for the tail shaft of the 4L80e to mount a laser. Hope to have the motor and tranny fully installed by weeks end.

aggie91 · 11-02-2015, 10:25 AM

Nice!

A little update... back with some more updates next week

Always something... Exhaust! Needed to make some room for it to get thru and not hang low below the frame. The crossmember will also be the lower anchor point for the mid plate frame. Should have it bent up and in place by the end of the week.

**Gary V** · 11-13-2015, 05:29 AM

Some more layout pics...

66-PMD-GMC · 11-13-2015, 05:58 AM

Nice virtual rendering. .

Thank You Sir! One more and then off to bend some tube. At over $7.00 a foot for 1 5/8 .083 4130... like to know where I'm going with it

66-PMD-GMC · 11-15-2015, 08:10 AM

Affirmative on that.. that's the type of work I do daily at my shop..

Nothing worse than bending up a couple hundred bucks worth of material. . Just to do it over...

ouch!

**66ChevyMax** · 11-15-2015, 02:38 PM

Amazing work Gary!

Hey Craig thank you, I follow your build... great work!

Ok got it bent up and in place... this motor install is taking a lot of time. Can't wait to start work on the cage.

**Gary V** · 11-29-2015, 07:57 PM

Weekly report...

Finished mounting the motor and 4L80E Transmission. Machined some threaded bungs... 10 bolts and the motor and tranny can be pulled forward and out.

Moving on to the chassis strengthening, cab mount and roll cage ... lots of tubing to be bent and welded. Got a start on it and then the weekend came to an end. More next week!

and Thank You Smooth! More craziness to come

Some progress... finished up the inner chassis tubing. The stock oem rubber tranny mount arrived today, but didn't have time to get it in place. Flipped the cab on it's back and had to laugh... the front and back cab mounts on the drivers side were repaired with plastic sheet, bondo and undercoat. Lots of work to do to repair the floor of the body.
