Re: Finally my own build thread!
I am glad you chose the fleetside. I don't like the look of the stepsides. But that is just my opinion.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
hey josh thanks for the info, on my truck i'm running 20x9 w/5.5 backspacing w/ a 285/50-20 tyre and my rearend is narrowed 4 inches to tuck the tyres inside the inner bed panel. also the mounting brackets look great is there going to be enough room between the tyre and the tank once the rearend is narrowed? thanks again keep the pics comming, later paul

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Well I finally got the cab on the frame for mock up of the fenders so i can finish welding the dropmember in. I wanted to complete the front cause i hate having to come back and finish something. The cab went on fairly easy and best of all my body mounts were right on. I was a little nervous cause i fully welded them up to support the cabs weight and it would have been a B#$CH to get the off. I love it! I think it looks so sweet! The only thing is that i am going to have to get a set of stock spindels instead of the dropped ones i have. Even though they are brand new i don't think that i will clear my tire so that extra 2 1/2" will let me clear the tire and still be low enough for my needs. I took a few pics cause i was so excited that i had to share. It seemed like i would never get the cab on. When i was installing the cab i realized how much work i have to do to that cab. It is in need of some serious TLC. Oh' well.
Josh

Re: Finally my own build thread!
I wish i could slap them on. The only way i could get a 10" wide tire for the rear is if i switched to 5x4 3/4 bolt pattern. So now i am trying to figure out what i am going to be doing for brakes so i get get something ordered. I would like something a little better than stock discs. I was hoping to get 13" rotors and 4 piston calipers. We will see. Don't worry though as soon as i can i am dying to see what it is going to look like on the frame and of course i will post some pics!
Thanks everyone Josh

Re: Finally my own build thread!
That looks awesome!Looks like that dropmember is going to work out great.Makes me wish I had decided to go with a scratch built frame.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Holy #$%@, that is looking sweet. Its cool seeing something totally hand made come together & look like it came out of a factory somewhere. You should be very proud of yourself!
Also, the powdercoat was worth every penny. I like the dark center wheels... Last edited by corn; 12-30-2006 at 05:08 PM. |

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Man, that looks so ghetto!
J/K, I couldn't be more jealous! Man, you are making quick work of this project and it's looking awesome. You'll have your truck built before I'm done with these stupid bags! Actually, my bags are done, I just need to finish my brakes before I can drive it. |

Re: Finally my own build thread!
You can subcride to a thread. It puts it in your user cp. You can keep all the threads you want to keep up on there. Easier to keep track that way.
