Re: Project: "Home Grown"
So my bedsides, battery tray, rear roll pan, and fender are due in today from Goodmark.
Does anyone know if the rear roll pan will need to be welded to the bed? I was wanting to send my steel bed floor out for a light line X coating and want to be able to then bolt it back together without the need to transport the entire assy. I only want to line x the floor not the wheel tubs or the sides. |

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Update:
Well I received my fender and bedside yesterday, quality is pretty darn amazing, few lil issues here and there, but I feel this is the best solution to my rust problems, esp since I don't have the time or patience to find original metal out west or down south. So yesterday I ordered the other fender, Tailgate, bedside, along with a new rt cab corner, since the one installed about 12 years ago fits horribly. All of my porterbuilt products arrived yesterday and these things look AMAZING! Mad props to Nate and his crew! Friday my rotors will be in as well. I will post photos of all my new gifts shortly, but there's just so much stuff that keeps arriving its hard to keep up. Damn I need to get to work on this stuff Wishes for this weekend: - Get truck to the shop and start cutting off frame components to mock up all new PB products - Assemble Bed assy to ensure fit of new sheetmetal Last edited by creepdogg; 08-11-2011 at 11:30 AM. |

Re: Project: "Home Grown"

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Received the rest of my sheet metal Friday and my Cross Drilled & Slotted rotors. Cleaned out the garage, and picked up Home Grown from the storage shed, left her out in the rain all Saturday I was out of town
 no glass, no tarp.Anyhow, getting ready to cut the frame up for all my PB products and then fit sheet metal. Anyone have some suggestions on who to use for front grille rings and headlight bezels? I think that's the only parts I still need for body mock up. |

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
One of the fenders I received from Goodmark "In a Triplus box" It looks great, lets cross our fingers it fits the same.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
That's a nice blue. I like it. There is a blue sorta like that on newer GM trucks also that I really like.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Just got back from a long evening at the shop with Home Grown, I hate grinding! Between the rivets & the billion odd holes I had to drill I am sore as hell. I was able to get one full C notch installed, and the mojority of the other side all set, minus the frame cut. Pics tomorrow.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Sat afternoon, just about rapped everything up, still need to finish a few holes, bolt everything tight, and mock up shocks, then install bags.
Removed cab from chassis to aid in Trailing Arm X Member install. My friend charlie came out and lent a hand, as you can see he was already sitting on the job Went and cleaned up a bit tonight at the shop, tomorrow I will be installing the trailing x member, and bags. |
