Great work Trevor!

**71blksuper4x4** · 09-27-2015, 10:12 PM

Got my rear suspension mocked up and wheelbase established. I just need to drill my holes to bolt the hangers on the frame for now. I will pull this bed off and do the drilling. Next up will be to put together my nicer bed and get it fit on the frame.

**71blksuper4x4** · 09-27-2015, 10:25 PM

For my frame, I decided to use the 1973+ (K10-K20) spring hangers. This allows me to possibly fit shocks between my frame and leaf springs. They are 5 1/2 " to the edge of the leaf springs vs. the 4 1/2" that a 67-72 hanger or 77+ K30 hanger. They are also quite beefy compared to our leaf hangers.

Hi Trevor, Wow.. the truck is looking Awesome.

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-03-2015, 08:04 PM

Well, she rolls! Big step for me to get it turned around to finish the other side. Still got to finish the floor by the inner rocker and finalize the guts on my 4th door.

Truck Guy99 · 10-05-2015, 12:43 PM

Looks great! Keep at it and it will be done one day. What's the plan for interior? I think tuck and roll leather would look killer

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-05-2015, 10:34 PM

Tye, it will be a stock 72 Cheyenne Super bright blue or red interior. Trevor

7dee2 · 10-06-2015, 11:40 AM

Both are a stunner against black, good choice!

ryanroo · 10-06-2015, 02:26 PM

I vote blue!! Rolled out in the sun, that's always a good feeling. Looking good Trevor!

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-06-2015, 07:07 PM

Thanks guys! Thanks for the patience and support as I get into attack mode again on this thing.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-06-2015, 09:04 PM

Nice work Trevor! It's looking great!

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-06-2015, 11:32 PM

Figuring out my gas tank and support. Figured why reinvent the wheel. Took an old transfer case xmember and flip it upside down. It will clear the diff that way and give me something to bolt the tank to. It will also be something to hide airlines or fuel lines if need be.

deejaaa1 · 10-12-2015, 01:53 PM

great idea on the xmember.

ETraugott · 10-12-2015, 06:03 PM

Nice work... I have been wanting to build somthing with a duramax but not in the budget tight now. So for now i will just drool over yours.

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-09-2015, 11:48 PM

Well, still plugging away. Got the passenger almost buttoned up and have the bed lowered. Body lines are really close to being on. Some minor finesse and it should be there. Going to the salvage yard this weekend, and hope to get a bedside filler while up there.

mjensen · 11-09-2015, 11:55 PM

That thing is going to be a beast! It is looking awesome!

swamp rat · 11-10-2015, 04:31 AM

I wish you could do that for me! Sweet!

ssuth9 · 11-10-2015, 11:37 AM

Dang!! That is so Awesome.

I want one...

7dee2 · 11-10-2015, 11:49 AM

Looks really good Trevor!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-10-2015, 06:47 PM

Trevor, it is looking awesome! Nice work!

1972K20 · 11-10-2015, 11:28 PM

Looking good. What's the wheel base?

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-11-2015, 08:15 AM

148.5 if I remember.

Rusty Shacleford · 11-11-2015, 04:10 PM

This is awesome. I'll be following.
