Thanks man! We tossed some ideas around for it and that was what it turned out to be, I wanted to do the glove box door but yet make it different compared to the other ones out there

widewhite70 · 05-12-2012, 06:46 PM

Well we had the truck out today, we put about 80 miles on it, need to do a few minor tweaks on some fender clearances and play with the brakes but it was a good day.

Yes I did get a few I'll put some up.

widewhite70 · 05-13-2012, 10:53 AM

Here's a new one out of the garage

widewhite70 · 05-13-2012, 11:02 AM

We took it to my dads friends garage to put it up on his lift and check everything out after we had it out for awhile.

widewhite70 · 05-13-2012, 11:05 AM

here's a few more

widewhite70 · 05-13-2012, 11:07 AM

Also we took it across the scales at a local gravel pit, it weighed 3340 pounds with James and I in it and 2980 with us out of it! a lot lighter then I though it would be.

**fakerwade** · 05-13-2012, 03:53 PM

2980??? That's Crazy!! Who would have thought?

**67cheby** · 05-13-2012, 08:27 PM

I know! I never would have guessed that!! It still needs rear wheel wells and bed floor but other then that the weight was on it, the stock vette that the suspension came from weighs right around 3,300 pounds and I think a stock SWB of ours is almost 3,700

Thanks! I always loved the Pro Tour look and never would have imagined I would end up with something like this, it all fell together at the right time!

72blueshark · 05-18-2012, 04:01 AM

right now i feel cutting the frame would be alittle extreme, but maybe down the road....

how much trouble did you have with cutting the frame into a shortbed?

Well we didn't have to cut my stock frame down since we built the tube chassis, we did shorten the bed though

Thanks guys! It runs and handles awesome,way better then I would've imagined it.The rear end has a 3.07 gear in it so I'm researching some 3.73's now. It doesn't have the pick up at low end with gears that high but as soon as it hits about 2500 RPM it comes to life, and 5th and 6th gear aren't even useable with those 3.07's unless you were doing about 100+ lol. But the 3.73's should really help.

I will get some more pictures posted!

npc1 · 05-26-2012, 02:23 PM

I looked through here and I never saw anything so that why Im asking this question. I know you did 18x10 in the front and 18x12 in the back but what size tires did you go with front and back?

72blueshark · 05-26-2012, 05:25 PM

how much work is it to shorten the bedsides?

oldblue1968chevy · 05-26-2012, 05:42 PM

Awesome looks great good job.
