Re: Project...praise the lowered
yeah guys,it was a big step getting to spray some paint.feels like i actually got somewhere on it.as for the wiring harness,the only wiring im using from the 67 truck is the front headlights connectors and the rear tail light connectors.the rest should be plug it in and turn the key.so today i went over and did some assembly to see how it looks with some of the holes filled.not too shabby.nothing is bolted in place in the pictures so some stuff is a little crooked but in my opinion it looks really good.next will be on to the drivers door and some welding/seam sealing under the cab.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
thanks man,its the same red my father is using on his t bucket build.it was a last second color decision for me.the out side is going satin black for now.i know from building the body at my buddies garage and frame in my drive way im going to have to chop cut and bend some stuff into place when i drop the body on the frame so the satin black would be easy for touch ups.the real paint will be next winter

Re: Project...praise the lowered
this is one of those threads you subscribe to as soon as you find out whats going on, before reading it! just read the whole thing through, though, and you have talent! amazing work! wish i could do a build like this one day or even just buy an old truck and start welding and learn how to become just like you sir

Re: Project...praise the lowered
im going to use the john deere blitz black for this summer.reason being im building the body at a buddy`s place and hacking the newer frame at home so the chances of everything dropping into place just perfect is pretty slim.so the satin black will be easy to blend if i have to do some hack slash and bending to get the body in place and run all the stuff through the fire wall.and also because im running out of truck bucks so the black is easier on the wallet.then next winter i will paint it base clear.not sure on color i change my mind every day.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
Hey Joey first let me say that I have watched this build for a while and you do alot of great work. My question is this. I know that you are putting the body on the newer frame but Im wondering if the newer frame is going to be skinny enough to fit under the truck? In other words are you going to have to shorten the rearend and bring in the front wheels to fit inside the fender? I hope that makes sense.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
i didnt get the gas tank mounted yet.i have to trip a couple of the brackets that hold the straps in place and then it will be ready to go.but i did get a bunch of small stuff done.brake lines flared and hooked up to the abs unit,removed some stuff from the motor and degrease d it,got the rear suspension in place and u bolts installed,finished welding a bunch of small stuff under the cab,seam sealed around every seam and square tubing under the cab,made and welded new mounting brackets on the seats,made and welded seat mount studs and gussets under the cab.just a whole bunch of time consuming small stuff.im hoping to block the cab this weekend and get it in paint on monday.fingers crossed

Re: Project...praise the lowered
that blitz black is gonna look clean!
i thought about a flat black too..but i cant justify myself doing all this work and not going bc/cc route. theres just something about a hammered stance, flat black paint, and black rims that is hard to beat.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
Yeah, the small stuff always gets ya. Is your front bumper bolted to the new frame? If so it looks like it's tilted up a little. IMO. Maybe an optical illusion though.
