Thanks! It's coming along now and way cooler then I could've ever imagined!

widewhite70 · 04-13-2012, 09:48 PM

Today is the first time we had all 4 wheels and tires bolted up too, so we rolled it out of the garage for the first time since this all began.

widewhite70 · 04-13-2012, 09:49 PM

It will be a good bit lower then this when we're done, still need to get all the weight on the suspension and do some adjustments

widewhite70 · 04-13-2012, 09:57 PM

A few shots of the rear and a good shot of the gas tank at the rear end between the frame.

npc1 · 04-13-2012, 09:57 PM

Ok this is probably the sickest thing Ive seen in a while.

Thanks! I never dreamed I would've had the chance to do something like this. It doesn't seem real.

Thanks Cheby! We sectioned it all to keep the factory look with the 3 inches out of it, and also did the same thing with the widened wheel wells.

**67cheby** · 04-14-2012, 12:08 PM

Nicely done !

widewhite70 · 04-14-2012, 12:10 PM

Heres some shots of the battery tray, we mounted it under what will be the wood bed floor right behind the passenger side of the cab.

widewhite70 · 04-15-2012, 10:43 AM

Ok here's a few shots of my glove box gauge cluster in the build process, still need to get the rest of the holes cut out

**67cheby** · 04-15-2012, 11:25 AM

Nice

lol thats been a popular phrase lately since we finished the frame, it turned out way cooler then I could've imagined, we just came up with a basic game plan and kept adding to it.

LOL I say he is, with what he can do and the amount of tools he has it's a pretty small operation really, it's all been done in about a 2-1/2 car garage, no frame jig or anything and my frame rails are straight as an arrow.

Thanks! and its looking even better now after the weight has settled the springs a little bit.

widewhite70 · 04-15-2012, 07:03 PM

Here's a shot of the finished glove box door/gauge cluster, just in primer now

mcbassin · 04-15-2012, 07:41 PM

I really like the cluster idea. I may just have to copy it, or something similar to it. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

VA72C10 · 04-15-2012, 07:43 PM

David67 · 04-15-2012, 07:46 PM
