What size are the Delmo specials? I know he makes them in a 20" version, but not sure of the tire size. I plan on running a set but need to know the overall height to spec out a cam.

I'm loving this build. Did you run braided fuel line for the entire length? I'm curious because I'm gathering parts for my fuel system. I might have missed it, but what are you using for paint? I love the satin look.

Yes I ran steel braided the entire length. The paint is BASF , basecoat clearcoat. I've been using Glasurit 923-55, extra matte clear

Rednek13x · 07-06-2013, 01:48 AM

Trucks looking great! Any updates?

Painter D · 07-07-2013, 08:48 PM

Been a while but I've made some progress. I've temporarily got the bed back on the truck so I can make the new bed floor and get the wheel tubs installed. The new bed floor is going to be almost 10" higher than the stock one was, not sure if I'm going to go with wood or metal for the floor yet. I ended up getting a new Wilwood master cylinder because the old one was leaking , so that's installed and plumbed. I've done some other stuff on it too but this is all I have pictures of right now.

**lolife99** · 07-07-2013, 08:53 PM

Nice like always,...

jasonhall · 07-07-2013, 09:51 PM

Im saving my pennies to buy a full porterbuilt front and rear kit like you did.

few questions,

What rear end are you running?
What size tires do you have on right now?
What bags Front and Rear do you have along with compressor and tank?

This will help me so i can put it down on things i need. I think its better to buy all at once, that way it wont sit torn apart as long LOL

I'm running a 10 bolt out of a Chevelle, the tires are 235/75/15, I don't have a compressor and tank yet.

Painter D · 07-14-2013, 04:17 PM

Got most of the bed floor frame built, and got the wheel tubs installed too. here's a few pics.

Kim57 · 07-08-2013, 01:02 AM
