looking good man I like your project. in your opinion how difficult would it be to graft a 99-07 front stub into a 63-66 frame. and would I have to raise the trans tunnel. ive got a 66 2" spindle, 2" spring, 1.5" pancaked crossmember and I want to go lower with a static drop. im thinking of picking up another frame and starting over, because my ride quality is still like driving a 50 year old truck. ive Camaro clipped and put mustang 2's in trucks and my 99 sierra out corners and rides them all day.

Thanks guys. The front stub on this truck is out of a 2001 silverado but we had the 2x4 rails bent. Im not sure how hard that would be to get to fit the old frames. i can measure the front if you would like.

Gas tank, compressors and the air tank are all mounted

Shocks all mounted up. Bilstein shocks allow us the most possible lift in the rear and the best ride.

The little cancer that she had is on its way out.

Checking the gap on the new rocker. It goes a lil lower now. And the bed is mounted up took a 1/2 inch out of the stock cab to bed gap.

[j.walters]

Rear of the rig all mounted up. Looks like we are going to have room for a bed floor

Pops bought a new toy to clean up the fab

[j.walters]

A lil something like what we have in mind for our end result.

Very cool build and that sure is a Purrdy engine!

[j.walters]

Thanks! ya that lil LS motor only has like 10k on it so it cleaned up pretty nice.

Does anyone here know or have a good set up for ditching the tailgate chains

[j.walters]

Finally back in the shop after having to sit out the better part of 3 weeks. Luckily my pops has been on the war path haha. More frame fab and working on the bed and the doors. This will be 95% original steel.

[j.walters]

Now that we have a clean slate lets ditch those lines

[j.walters]

Finishing off the frame rails and starting the tailgate mock up

[j.walters]

Shaving the bumper and trimming it down and making it not look 50 years old.

[j.walters]

Fitting up the new trimmed down bumper.

love the work!

[j.walters]

Thanks! Its a fun build we have now decided to ditch the front stub off of the Silverado and just build our own. I will put up some piks of that asap.

Nice work....trucks looking great

[j.walters]

After a lot of thought and a little clearance issue with the 22s we made the decision to go ahead and build our own front end. It is really starting to come together.
