raull · 03-01-2013, 10:49 PM

here is where im at so far , two weeks ago i took half a day to come home and hope to had done the rear frame fully assemble but after one hour in to it i went to disconect the grinder from the wall but instead i disconected the overhead crane plug , so when i went to change the blade the darn thing went on , the tool was still attached to it and it wacked me a few times in the hand , hurt but kept working , a few minutes later i felt a moist feeling inside my working glove so when i took it off , sure enough nice gash in my knuckle , so some small tissue , tiny fracture and some stitches later , put me out of commision for a few weeks , but im much better now so ill be back at it soon

Cameron 1137 · 03-06-2013, 08:52 PM

awesome!

raull · 03-11-2013, 09:28 AM

small update !! after a few hours of , measuring, leveling and shimming the whole truck , bed and wheels , i tacked the rear frame back together , i shortened the c-notches 3 inches , this truck will not lay frame anyways as this is a step side and the 22's will hit the outer fender but on the other hand it will have a much lower ride height than the older set up ,which its what im looking for , at this point i will only havo to do a small notches on the bed for rear end tube clearance , ill post more pix as i go

Bennett68C10 · 03-11-2013, 10:53 AM

Awesome Raul, can't wait to see how it sits

raull · 03-11-2013, 09:46 PM

thanks keith !! i put in about 5 hours today all brackets are on , and painted most of the parts , my crappy 110v welder was overheating so i will have to finish tomorrow , im hoping to have the truck on all wheels by end of day tomorrow so i can install the engine on wednesday

The truck is looking great Raull. I haven't been on as much anymore, but I am still watching the build. I'll be back in a few months .. Just something to take care of first.

raull · 03-12-2013, 08:57 PM

well after another 6 hours today i can say im about 90% done with suspension !!!i took brakes in between welds and the litthe machine did much better today . im beat but all worth it at the end , the front end lower comlpletely to the ground but the rear wont , thats all she wrote , the big 22's tires in the rear and been a steeper , they hit the outer fenders so thats as low as it will go in the rear , i'm much happier with these set up 100% , i wanted a lower ride height and i think i have acomplished that . i did a small notch on the inner part of the bed which ill have to mod and make it look alittle nicer before painting and gave it a few more inches of travel in case that i want to run some rallies or something . i want to thank scotts hotrods and poterbuilt for their products and support on this build , here are some pix
