For the most part I have done 99.9% of the work seen here. My sister happened to stop by for some tools to pull her seats out of her jeep and caught me in action when I wasn't looking. Here I am slicing into my pancake!

Was kinda sad just seeing my bed in the elements everything else has been stored indoors for the winter. So i Utilized my breaks yesterday and ripped the insides of my bed out.took like an hr total and only snapped 2 bolts l...was kinda impressed figured they would all snap....good old Arizona trucks!....luckily this is the worst part of the truck






And one of the old bench seat my dad made years ago. My dad does some top notch work in Tucson

Haven't gotten a whole lot done lately.... Been moving garages! Convinced my landlord to let me switch garage bays( right side is a bit larger) welded up my trans crossmember and threw the motor and tranny in for a test fit and to determine where to drill the holes for the tranny crossmember. So while setting up the new garage and moving parts I threw the front end back together. And got a new to me used addition to the shop...

needed my own already! messing with flux core for now and will get a bottle down the road.

great work mad props... did you have any major issues with the upper Aarm hitting your steering shaft ? (on drivers side )and also how much did you take out of the crossmember pancake ??? thanks

[CRGRS 66]

Great work, subscribed.
Couple questions:

The fleetside model kit, I have searched for one, no luck, who is the manufacturer, could you post a picture of the box?

Someone asked previously about the bolts holding the diff to the control arms. Is that just for mock up? Will you be using U bolts for final assembly? I would be nervous depending on those 50 year old welds to keep it all together back there.

Thanks man! Well to be honest I haven't gotten that far yet but will most likely end up having to go the Dino route and do a slight notch in the upper arm. And I took out 2 inches out of the front crossmember.

Thank you! Been watching your build too! Your making some nice progress as well! Here is that picture as requested...

Haha yes I will be using u bolts for mounting the rear end to trailing arms. I am very impatient and had made my drop blocks and needed to keep this movable and wasnt successful locating any local
so this was the most convenient at the time.

Hahaha....love that movie! I actually watch it every time it is on tv!
Should have been a c10. I did a quick before and after on half the grill and this is the outcome. my two favorite pics of my truck to date...my little helper....she loves coming out in the garage with daddy

Thanks Bomp! Hope your listening to the doctor and taking it easy and letting that foot heal so you can jam out!
