Re: Finally my own build thread!
Looks Awesome! Keep up the good work......Must be nice to work outside all year around LOL. I pushed my 69 C-10 project truck outside for 1 day! (Friday the 13th of October 2006)......we made national news that day "Freak Snow Storm" shuts down City leaves tens-of -thousands without power and snow measured in feet not inches.........my long winded point is; Take full advantage of your long work seasons (for all of us) who are working next to heaters during the cold seasons!

I am glad you chose the fleetside. I don't like the look of the stepsides. But that is just my opinion.

![]() I would love to have a english wheel. I don't know how often i would use one but when i do it would be sweet. I own an HVAC (Heating and air conditioning) business and I have a 52" shear, 2- 8' brakes, 10' brakes, slitter, circle cutter but they only are capable of 16g steel. I think the 10' brake will do 14g. Everything i have used for my truck is 1/8-1/4. All those tools and I am still screwed ![]() Josh

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Well i finally got around to notching the frame for the rack and pinion. I took some 3 1/2 pipe cut it in half and then welding it into the frame. Here is a couple pics. I still have to grind down the welds.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
I also finally got done mounting the air tanks. I wanted to do something creative so i took my brand new chrome 3 gallon tanks and cut off the factory tank mounts and then created my own. I tig welded the new mounts to the tanks. I then mounted them where they will go and marked out my holes. Then i took the plasma torch and cut out an area around my holes so i can weld some nuts to the back side. I wanted to have a clean install of the tanks. They now bolt up into the frame. Came out pretty sweet. I took alot of pics of my process of making the new mounts because a fellow board member and i were talking about what i was making and asked to see the process i went through. So here they are. The last pic is just showing how i cut out the frame so i can get to the backside to weld the nuts on.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Here is a few more of the tanks actually mounted. The first pic is showing what the factory tank mounts looked like. Now i just have to figure out how i am going to mount the compressors.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Oh man. That thing is looking sweet. The round stock for the notch looks good. The air tanks came out great too. Everytime I see an update I'm always amazed. I'll need to cruise by this week and check it out.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Thanks poorboy for the complements. I have been very busy on the truck. Those brackets took for ever to build. There was so many steps and it seemed like everytime i got one thing done another one popped up. Oh' well at least its done.
Sorry i didn't bring the old frame over today. I had a soccer game today and it drained me bad. I haven't ran for over a month. I will try to get it to you this week. Josh
