Hoffman65burb · 06-26-2009, 04:16 PM

looks good, you gonna notch the frame and bag the front?

rckclmbr99 · 06-26-2009, 04:27 PM

sure am as soon as funds allow. im also gonan step the LCAs and build some lowering blocks for the rear to make it lower nd eventualy section the front crossmember

rckclmbr99 · 07-18-2009, 11:13 PM

well i currently dont have a camera but this week i took out the front xmember and broke it down. i leave to go out of the country wednesday for 12 days then when i get back aug. 2 i leave the 4th for a beach trip so i wont be able to get pics up til after that and on a sadder note i wont be able to work on it for about 3 weeks

when i do get back i am goin to begin sectioning the xmember (idk how much yet) and ill step the control arms. also i have begun building a new crossmember fo the rear frame rail for when i notch it.
Take it easy,
Jonathan

rckclmbr99 · 09-11-2009, 02:59 PM

Well lately things have been really crazy. Not only have i been really busy but we found out a little over a month ago that my uncle has cancer in his colon so thats why i havent beem able to get on. Lately i got a new truck, 2002 Silverado Reg cab shortbed with a 5.3 V8. the first thing i did was murder it. the plan is to make it a fast truck thats fun to drive but still a DD.

Then i built a new rear bumper for my 4Runner which still isnt done.

then i got a new toy.

then finally a picture of the front xmember out...

so now it is more less rear suspension, frame. and a cab...
oh and also ive been helping my buddy A.J. body drop his s10... so ive been a little busy but im startin workin on the c10 again. today i started drilling out rivets to remove the main rear xmember to do bag mounts and a notch.
Take it easy,

VA72C10 · 09-11-2009, 09:44 PM

Man, three trucks and a Miller welder in High school...what type of work do you do to have that kind of coin? I did have a Mustang in high school but it was a V6 auto....and I could barely afford that...

rckclmbr99 · 09-13-2009, 04:02 PM

haha ive been savin money since i was about 10 and i dont spend any on anything other than trucks. The welder was a birthday present

haha

rckclmbr99 · 09-21-2009, 06:37 PM

well i worked a little this weekend.
started with some 3inch drop blocks:

then was thinkin bout doin a notch but i just decided to get rid of the unnecessary metal and doin a floating axle idea:

then started cappin the frame:

not done but started...
then i got some ideas for the rear xmember and lights and whatnot but youll see when im done...
oh and somethin else im gonna start wednesday (tuesday is cleanin the garage day hah!) well youll see... haha it involves alot of cuttin... ill leave it at that for now...
Take it easy,
Jonathan

rckclmbr99 · 09-24-2009, 09:33 PM

well i got the garage cleaned and holy crap its sooo much nicer to work in now. i got so excited i put it on the ground...

and of course i had to do something else to celebrate a clean shop:

so ya its being body dropped 5 inches to the doors!!!! tomorrow im gonna cut off the rest of the rockers the cut off my frame horns and weld them back on, plate them, and gusset them....
Take it easy,
Jonathan

VA72C10 · 09-24-2009, 09:51 PM

You don't want to reuse the rockers?

rckclmbr99 · 09-24-2009, 10:48 PM

They're all rusted to hell and it's gonna lay door... So no

Yeah, it was a joke

They look a LITTLE rough

rckclmbr99 · 09-26-2009, 01:16 AM

ya i noticed after i posted lol ya just a little rough...

VA72C10 · 09-26-2009, 01:21 AM

Guess that made the decision to door it easier, huh

rckclmbr99 · 09-27-2009, 12:57 PM

Haha ya sure did. Also there's a few guys around here layin rocker so since I didn't have much of a rocker I decided I'd door it so I'd be lower than everyone else

ill second that, too much rust on the rocker, just door it.

thats what i did on my 454ss lol

VA72C10 · 09-27-2009, 02:41 PM

One thing I would recommend is to strengthen up those 3" drop blocks. They look a little weak as they are right now.

rckclmbr99 · 10-23-2009, 05:56 PM

well ive been really low on money so havent got much done. im actually at work right now and i work again monday. so ill be gettin some truck money soon enough! soild the bed for $250 (bought the truck for 300 haha) so with that money i bought a 4.3 and 4l60e with complete wiring harness and body harness. im pickin it up tomorrow. also got a compressor and airtank. oh and i bought my buddy lunch in exchange for a 15.5 gal keg for a gas tank

Also tomorrow im goin to get some 16ga sheet metal to finish the bd and make my tranny and driveshaft tunnel and some 2x4 for the rear crossmember. since im at work i cant get yall pictures but they should be up by the end of the weekend at the latest
Take it easy,

VA72C10 · 10-23-2009, 08:04 PM

Cool....looking forward to the pics

oldblue1968chevy · 10-23-2009, 09:13 PM

haha gota post pix of the keg!!

rckclmbr99 · 10-24-2009, 10:39 PM

well im kinda pissed. the places to get metal around here were all closed today so i didnt get to start my rear xmember or work on the body drop and my buddy was busy all day so i didnt get the motor either. on a better note i started shaving the firewall with some extra pieces of scrap i had layin around but then i was half way done weldin in a panel and i ran outta weldin wire so i went to lowes to pick some up and when i got back it was too late to keep work so i reckon ill work on it more tomorrow and then get all my other stuff monday or tuesday. ill post pics tomorrow of the keg, goodies ive got, and what ive got done on the firewall so far.
Take it easy,
Jonathan

rckclmbr99 · 10-26-2009, 12:31 PM

well i didnt get as much done this weekend as i wanted but i figured id put up a few pics before i headed off to work for the day:

New gas tank... keg:

free carb, cheep 5 gal 4 port tank and firestone compressor:

started shaving the firewall. still have lots of work to do on it but atleast its started:

finished the door panel out of plates. the opening is to reach in and pull the rod to open my door:

so today i discovered i dont have enough money to go buy steel so the body drop and rear xmember have been delayed. i should be gettin the motor and trans this week so i can make motor mounts, trans crossmember, and trans tunnel.

Take it easy,
Jonathan

texanidiot25 · 10-26-2009, 12:55 PM

I like the door panels, but why not put a handle on?
