Actually we are going a little thicker. Especially on the top (hood) scallop on the side.

I am also playing with some black white work on what I call the B pillar. looks like its missing something.

You're right, and I'm not one to talk since the primer on the turd that I drive is unpolishable...

Here are the plans for scallops

Joel Nelson of 1320 designs www.1320designs.com has worked his butt off on the body of this truck. He did a great job cause the bed was real ruff. He also did the pinstripping on the aircleaner...and this photo shop

I dig the scallops! Maybe this helps..Nice ride!

How far into the frame was the front crossmember sectioned? I'm trying to figure out how i'm going to lay frame in the front. By the way, your truck is inspiring!

Sweet damn truck!

When I got the truck it had been lifted into the frame about an inch and ahalf. Which wasnt low enough. I then pie cutt the upper spring perches and pulled another inch and a half. and raised the steering...which putts the steering wheel at a goofy angle. But it was cheap...

Get the wheel tire combo you want, put the truck up in the air, and pull the springs so its laid out. measure...that will tell you. You can lift the crossmember or do the pie cutt thing or both. good luck.

More Pics...

Got the basic scallops on, bolted it all back together and started to clean everything up. Hicuppicup (Rob) cam over and worked his ass off showing us how to put windows in....yes the rear is a bear! Big thanks to Rob for sharing his time, knowledge and hard work. Joel has really out done himself on the truck...I am very happy with it.

All thats left is the white stripping the scallops, the bed, and the interior...oh and putting refrigerant in the ac unit. and the grill and the...... Here is more pics..

Cool, thanks for your help. I have a 95 front clip w/ spindles and drop spings that i was thinking about putting in my truck but I really like the stock suspension dragging frame (I'm old skool too; stock components, flat paint, wide whites)
