I have to say I am jealous of your garage!!! Your 99 is awesome and damn you got that sitting on the ground. Your 73 is badass! Mine sits the same and I wish I could have bought a x member but blew my money under the hood which is worht it everytime I turn that key. All your trucks are some of my dream trucks for sure man. Great work. Cant wait till I can get mine 100% painted and roll on 20s too.

breeze85cten · 08-05-2011, 01:41 AM

Are you still saving for a x member? If so what one are you going for? Porterbuilt?

luifer76 · 05-23-2011, 12:10 AM

Doesnt look too bad man. So did you just bolt the bed floor back in on the front bed panel and weld the rest of the floor to the existing bed sides?

page 5 on my build i have some pics but i got more if you need it i actually got the idea from dv8 here on the forum, all you need is to figure out how much you need to raise it and take out 3 inches for the beam the sits under the bed floor and what ever measurement is left built the frame from there hope that helps let me know if you have any questions...

mooseknuckles · 05-23-2011, 08:15 PM

ok thanks....what are you running for a fuel tank?

luifer76 · 05-24-2011, 01:02 AM

allright today when i got home from work i bolted the bed to the frame and i adjusted it to match the body lines and here are some better pics.....let me know you all think.......
