Thanks, and no they're F6s from Forte Wheel, I'm considering changing wheels yet, if I could sell these for nearly what I have in them they would be gone pretty fast... Would just like 20s in the front and a wider 20 in the back, because now I'm more going for a sport/speed look than I was in the beginning

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 01:10 AM

Well i started on the four link today and got it all tacked up and had to move the driveline notch/crossmember to make it flow with the four link mount. im going to gusset the four link mount. also changed the tube work in the middle. im waiting on my panhard bar kit from SD.com to come in.

Anyway heres the picture.(cell phone pic sorry)

Wow, that looks amazing... I've been off the board for a few months, and dang, you chopped the top.

67chevemall · 12-14-2009, 11:28 AM

Awsome!!!

my67chevytruck · 12-14-2009, 11:47 AM

nice progress.

Inverter · 12-14-2009, 03:50 PM

That looks much cleaner.Where are the rocker arms going to mount?
Can you get any full view pics of the cab so we can see the proportions?

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 04:07 PM

thanks guys, ya ill get some full cab picture today. the rocker arm will mount over the axle, with the bags in the middle of the frame, they'll be inline with the axle (atleast thats what im hoping for).

*1sik52* · 12-14-2009, 05:23 PM

I see why you spend most of your time out in the garage!

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 10:04 PM

Haha, ya can get distracting sometimes....lol

**wancosc356** · 12-14-2009, 10:58 PM

Looks awesome man. When you cut the rockers off the cab, did you have to trim the bed to match or does it line up already?

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 11:06 PM

ya i trimmed the bed to match

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 11:39 PM

Ok. Cool man.

Rokcrln · 12-15-2009, 12:29 AM

Wow you sure are jumping al the way in now aren't you? Looks good, like the dash! On the chop (I have never done one of our trucks) would it have been easier to cut out the headliner in one piece, set it aside. Then do the outer roof work so you could hammer and dolly the welds out and then replace the headliner in 1 piece and add fillers to the sides? Like I said I have not done one of these but on the others I have done I always like full access to the roof skin until I am finished welding it all off.

Kevin your right if i were to do this again i would cut the headliner in one piece. thanks im jumping on this now because i moved closer to where it's at, Its at my parents house and i now live like 10 min from them. before it was 35 mins away.

FnLow69 · 12-15-2009, 02:17 AM

thanks inverter, i like the front mount but the rear one im not to sure on? any input is welcome.

Inverter · 12-15-2009, 12:27 PM

Your welcome,
can you try and mimic the front ? The ears are just beautiful.

Ronm909 · 12-16-2009, 11:04 PM

wow what made you change it to a parallel 4 link?? looks killer

FnLow69 · 12-16-2009, 11:09 PM

thanks Ronm909, i just didnt like the old link setup. Wanted something simple and clean.

FnLow69 · 12-22-2009, 12:50 AM

Well got my panhard bar kit today so i got that installed and built the frame end mount. still have to gusset the back side like i did the front with the speed holed plate. also im changing the tube gusset to a plate with a speed hole in it. so it will flow better. anyways heres the pictures.

More this weekend and next week as im off tell next year.

Pictures....

laidout

speed holed gusset
