Thanks Mike, it's nice to see it in one piece. Glad to see you back on yours too. April is right around the corner so hopefully the weather breaks soon.

Thanks don't try to get me to change my mind again

j/k this truck is definitely going to be red, especially after seeing mcbassin's and trkfrk's trucks just get painted. They have given me tons of inspiration to get mine painted this year. I would trade places with you any day, I can't wait to have mine done and on the road enjoying it.

Low, red and mean will look great also. I like most colors as long as you get the low and mean in there

Keith this thing is looking sick.

Yes sir, I also like tall and mean too

Not much of a stock fan myself, like them either lowered or lifted. Guess that's why I'm chomping at the bit to lift my GMC

Your right, it probably would be a great shot for Holley. I'm in need of an EFI system, maybe they could give one to me for free

Amen brother I'm right there with you, unfortunately I blew my wad on the suspension, wheels and just about everything else on the truck. Now I have to do the paint and body myself instead of paying a shop to do it.

Keith,if you ever need a hand with the bodywork,give me a shout.
I'am no expert,but i do work for beer.

jeh · 04-01-2014, 08:39 PM

Pics look awesome, just out of curiosity, what are you trimming on your bed?

Thanks Tom I really appreciate it, I will have to take you up on that offer when the time comes for bodywork. I think I can handle beer payment

hey are you going to the Englishtown swapmeet next weekend? I'll be there looking for a tailgate.

Thanks Jason, basically the tires sit right up against the inside of the bed sides. I don't know how I was able to air it out but I could never drive it that way. It would rub the whole time. So I have to cut out the inside of the bedsides to clear the tires. You can see in the pic I still have a little bit to trim. Basically what I did was take a wheel tub, place it exactly where I want it to sit and traced out the inside. Then just started cutting.

knomadd · 04-02-2014, 09:33 AM

Sounds like a good plan. I've thought about doing this to mine, but I'm not going that low for a while. I do really like the idea though.

Seeing all these dropmember builds is making me want to cut mine up. I really don't want to do that yet though. It's very conflicting, and you're not helping!

C10_ustacould · 04-02-2014, 11:05 PM

All cool pics but the third one down is the money shot in my opinion.

I agree, that was my favorite too

mcbassin · 04-02-2014, 11:17 PM

Very nice work on the bed Keith. Taking your time paid off making very simmetrical clearence. Keep the pictures coming.
X2 on the money shot.
Envious of your suspension setup.

Thanks Mike that cut across the top was a little nerve racking, there is only about a 1/2" between the inner bedside and the outer bedside. Any slip up and I would have had a nasty hole through the outer bedside. I knew how much I had to cut out but I didn't want to make one huge cut. I kind of snuck up on it a little at a time until I had what I needed.

Oh and I'm very envious of your paint, I can't wait till mine is to that point.

Rusbuilt · 04-03-2014, 07:33 AM

Very nice buddy!! I love it
