how many inches is it from the crease of the bed to the tubing. and are the tubing leveld with the top of the cnotch?

coulter · 04-25-2011, 08:24 AM

i set my tubes 2 1/4 below the crease and it will be just a lil higher than the notch

the easiest way to figure how u need to do yours is to keep a few of the stock rails in your bed and set it on there to see how tall your notch is. then build your floor height from that .. cause i made my notches and they arent as tall as most ive seen so if you use my measurements it might not turn out right

Sick5 · 04-26-2011, 08:03 AM

Sound good. Oh and the truck is coming out sweet.

Figure I might poke a little fun....you do realize you have the right side valve cover on upside, right?

Awesome build, keep up the great work

coulter · 04-27-2011, 07:31 AM

haha ya i turned the dented side around for the pic

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-30-2011, 02:02 PM

Nice looking truck keep up the good work..

coda13 · 05-01-2011, 08:06 PM

your truck owns! very nice work.

coulter · 05-01-2011, 09:52 PM

thanx man!!! ur truck is a beauty!!!

i got a little bit more done
started working on my fenderwells

still gotta make the end caps then finish welding and start smoothing

put the motor in for a test fit.. everything fit great except the drivers side header is just a tad low so im gonna cut it down a lil

mmmm look at this nasty silicone disaster!!!! lol

btw the mounts are just a tubular mount kit i found on ebay.. came with the tranny crossmember to. i bolted them to the forward holes and everything looks like its gonna clear good

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-01-2011, 11:16 PM

Im thinking you may wanna keep your eye open for a set of finned or at least some nicer valve covers. With those headers and the rest of the work you have done the valve covers just look out of place. Just my.0321 cents worth.

coulter · 05-02-2011, 12:03 AM

ya i bought those just for temporary cause they were cheap... but they got dented up when the motor fell of the engine stand... i just ordered these

coulter · 05-02-2011, 11:10 AM

was pretty lazy yesterday so i didnt get much done
pulled the heads off to check it out..

i took a better pic of the mounts

it was too late last night to start cutting and grinding but i did go ahead and get my lines drawn for where im gonna cut my rear tubs

this crappy rainy weather makes it hard to get motivated to work

chad64chevy · 05-02-2011, 09:53 PM

ya, i know what you mine about the weather, i'm a lil south of you!! nice work so far!! i got some rear wheelwells you can have to make those front wheelwells!!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-02-2011, 10:01 PM

Those finned covers are gonna look *****en..

DRTYRAT30 · 05-02-2011, 10:46 PM

With the frame flat on the ground the pinchwelds on mine are about 1/8"-1/4" from the ground. That is with brand new urethane body mount bushings, older broken in rubber bushings may get you closer if not touching.

coulter · 05-05-2011, 11:53 PM

ya my frame is about 2 inches off the ground with 2.5 drop spindles and sitting on lower control arms.. so it wouldnt take a huge z with drop spindles.. i think most people do a 3 inch z..
