I would notice the difference between the body lines.

That being said, what's the purpose of dropping the bumper? It's like adding a front spoiler & seems it will increase the odds of damage since they're already pretty close to the ground.

bedsled71 · 06-29-2008, 07:16 PM

no updates.. moved into a house and have a baby on the way plus its 115 outside here in arizona so i dont care to be in the heat anymore then i have to...

bedsled71 · 06-29-2008, 07:17 PM

and dont you think lowering a truck at all increases the chance to damage it

azfab · 06-30-2008, 09:25 AM

i like, nice work. do you have any side to side movment with the horizontal bar or panhar bar? love the color!!

Couch · 06-30-2008, 10:42 PM

so pretty much this is where im gonna get the ideas for my backhalf. i recently got a 67 longbed for parts for my drag truck and dont wanna junk the rest of the truck since its in fair shape. and dont want a long bed so im gonna hack it off out back and make a shorty outta it and throw a swb stepside bed on it that i have chillin. it looks pretty hard but ive always wanted a bagged c-10.

BACKYARD88 · 06-30-2008, 10:59 PM

Nothing to it

azfab · 07-01-2008, 10:32 AM

nice. what are the frame rails 2x3 or 2x4? links 2x2 x1/4? looks good dude more pics

when you made your first link bars to 24'' or so did the wheel baes change when cycling the syspension? are you going to use a pan hard bar?

the frame rails are 2x4 by .120 wall and 2x2 links 1/4 thick.. the base changed alittle bit but because i would get alot of lift with the bags mounted on the links no pan hard bar. trac bar from link to link

noteron · 12-27-2008, 04:06 PM

ANY UPDATES...btw I like your truck alot...I have a 67 stepper and I had no idea they look that good layed out!

Painter D · 12-27-2008, 04:20 PM

I'll second that.

What ever happened with this thing, no updates since July?

502tripower · 12-27-2008, 09:34 PM

Very nice build...but, I am going to agree that the body lines do need to match. A line that was constantly repeated to me as I was learning my craft...A fair line is pleasing to the eye.

bedsled71 · 07-20-2009, 09:34 PM

its been a long time since ive been on.. trying to get back in the grove of things.. soooo hot here in arizona 115 degrees where im located. i ended up getting a fleetside bed that was used as a trailer,it was a long bed. cut 24 inches out of it so it alittle shorted than a short bed.. got a grant kustoms full skin too

*project 67 sub* · 07-20-2009, 09:57 PM

lookin good, any side shots

*Shane* · 07-20-2009, 10:28 PM

so I take it the body lines match up now?

bedsled71 · 07-20-2009, 10:49 PM

64shortc10 · 07-21-2009, 12:23 AM

OARNGESI · 07-22-2009, 03:34 AM

Looks great really nice job

bedsled71 · 07-30-2009, 09:37 PM

i got my hood hinges in today from Grant Kustoms.. i dont think very many people have seen these because they arent on the web site. glad i found out about them (Thanks Rust Spot)... one of those products you can make but way easier to buy them. 60 bucks.

smbrouss70 · 07-31-2009, 01:23 PM

Are those made for these trucks, or are they universal? How do they fit in there?
