Re: Crewcab build
Awesome project. I really like the crew cab. Plus seeing it sit on the ground doesnt hurt anything either

Re: Crewcab build
Glad to see you've made a little progress. I was worried you may have given up........I know all too much about work getting in the way of projects. This is going to be such a bad ass truck. I'm looking forward to future updates......work permitting.

Re: Crewcab build
Just a quick picture. I bought enought tubing to re-clip from the axle back, hopefully will be done somewhat on Sunday. After looking at the price of a notch, this made alot more sense, and I gain some gas tank room!

Re: Crewcab build
So, I know I should be posting pics of progress, but you can't take pictures when you leave the camera at home! Got the notches built, I mean OVERBUILT! Thought I had picked up some 3x3x3/16 wall, but turned out I cant read a tape measure. It's acually 1/4 wall, so strength should not be an issue. Got everything cut, all the edges ground back for a full penetration weld, and just have to cut the framerails to length. Had to stop due to not being 100% on a dimension, more to come later this week!

Re: Crewcab build
Been slowly making progress, just spent the better part of last week taking alot of measurements and cutting all my pieces. 3x3x1/4 wall box tube is not fast to cut on the chop saw, especially when you make bonus cuts the wrong way.
Anyway, here is my new frame clip that should drop inside the exterior frame rails this saturday: Last edited by PrerunnerRob; 12-04-2008 at 11:58 PM. |

Re: Crewcab build
I know I'm bad about using the camera, I just hate to stop when I'm on a roll. I am charging my camera now, am bringing it on Satuday, and WILL actually take pictures. Promise! |

I actually thought I grabbed 3/16" at Sims, but I looked later and found the side I measured had gotten smashed at the end where I measured it. 8 places to check wall thickness, and I pick the one that is undersize! I may not be towing with this, but it will still serve duty hauling my dirtbike and quad. |

Re: Crewcab build
That turned out real nice.....and the welds are nice as well. Did you make up the link bars? I am curious as to why threaded ends on both ends.

Re: Crewcab build
Bought the 4 link from FBI(local truck vendor at shows), and thats how it came. Both ends are RH thread too, which I thought strange, but it was $180 with all the brackets. I assume it's to get a little more adjustment length out of it, but I'm not totally sure.
