Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
Working on a few things,
Bed is getting sheeted along with making sure there is access to the shocks. I drilled 1" holes and a couple rubber plugs should cap these holes off nicely. A lot of welding coming up to seal all the panels together. another pic of how we had to customize the new side panels in order to clear the rear suspension. The rear fenders are pretty beat up, So trying to get them placed somewhat where they belong is quite a project in itself. Toying around with how they would look shortened? that's where I taped off a 10" section. enjoy, Brian

I didn't even bother cleaning up the trans fluid on the floor yet, i figured maybe if the floor has some on it the trans won't leak no more... ![]() haa haa

Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
drivea55, i just saw your build today, started reading up to where you chopped the top.
do you have a windshield for your truck? asking because i know the front glass is the hardest part of a task force chop.

not trying to be negative, but i've seen my fair share of trucks scrapped from lack of windshield. first rule of chopping a task force truck is to have windshield cut first and make the frame fit the glass. back and side glass are easy.

Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
While the tank is out of the bed I figured may as well work on getting the sending unit made.
the new gauges came in with the new gas sending unit. Since my tank from coyote-gear did not come with a sending unit adapter I was going to have to make one. so I turned and milled a piece of aluminum to match my tank, and this is how it came out. tapped it using 10-32 threads and sizing up some cap screws for now for fit. this weekend I will get it welded to the actual tank and installed. enjoy!
