Re: Film Guy Project Build Thread........
That truck is ridiculous. Most amazing thing I have seen in a while. I am speechless. Did you ever mention the specs on the rear end and tire and wheel combo for the rear? I want to run big rollers in the rear with a fat lip too on my daily driver. Let me know what you did, in exchange I will paint your bed for you, all you do is supply materials!

Re: Film Guy Project Build Thread........
Oh, sorry double post but when you say you had the sides dipped, did you acid dip them to strip them or did you find someone to EDP coat the bedsides like the factory does?

Re: Film Guy Project Build Thread........
Scotti, Not exactly the sequence of events. I removed all of the clearanced wood flooring and strips. I fabed some 3/4"X3/4" square tubing to mount on top of the cross sills. This simulated the thickness of the wood floor. The bed side sits on top of the 3/4"X3/4". I cut, drilled and taped holes in the 2.5"X2.5" tubing and mounted that on top of the original cross sills. (No wood flooring) Then I mounted another set of cross-sills on top of the 2.5" tubing. Then comes the flooring. There is only 1 wood floor. I am considering raising the stainless fuel tank up into the frame a little more for clearance and this mod may help. I can take some more detailed pics if you would like. Or you can just come over and check it out. Your local.

Re: Film Guy Project Build Thread........
72cstc5, The rear end is a ford 9" I ordered from Moser. It was custom built for me. I think it was 56" long. The wheels were made by Forgline. I think they are 20 X 12.5. Hope this helps.
Hey, I just noticed your handle 72cstc5, Do you have a chassis like n2billet is building? or do you have a C5 corvette. |

Re: Film Guy Project Build Thread........
Your bed floor looks great! I am also a fan of raising the floor instead of notching it all out. Looks like you went about 7" on your wider tub's. I did this one about 6yrs ago and still love the look. Now I just need to finish it up and find some wider tires to fill in the space. I have 335/35/17 on it right now but they have become very narrow in my view

Re: Film Guy Project Build Thread........
Looks great!!! I love the bed.. How much space do you have between your inner bedside and tires? Could you measure how wide from outside edge of one tire to outside edge of the other for me? I dont have a bed yet and wanna make sure the BS of my wheels are correct before they build them.. Thanks alot and keep up the good work!!!

Re: Film Guy Project Build Thread........
So all you did was in essence sandwiched the square tubing between the floor supports which raised the floor up correct???

Re: Film Guy Project Build Thread........
hey ron, looking great! the bedsides look good, have you had them worked or is that just primed. i noticed the stake holes intact so that's why i was wondering.

Nope.
