Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Just what you pic ho's like, pics! I got the D70 under it and bolted in. I'll have to set pinion angle later.
I put some 265's on it and sat it down. I then walked around it kind of in awe trying to figure out if I liked it so low now. But wait, I still have to remove the 3" body lift. Oh boy. Next Mathew, Nick, and I removed the box. Then I cleaned off the frame and began marking it out so I could prep to cut it. From what I can tell there are a few different styles of frame configs on these trucks. The truck in the south bay has a cross member under the rear cab bushings. Mine has mounts on the frame with cross bar tieing them together. So, I compromised and measured 7" back from my cab frame mounts, and made a mark. Then I removed 14" out of the frame. I measured 4" down on the frame and drew a line. I measured 4" in front of each line and that's how I got the stagger pattern if anyone was curious. I placed jack stands under the back of the cab and chocked the front tires. Changed the tip on the plasma cutter and started cutting. I had Nick steady the rear portion of the frame and roll it back when it was cut free. I then ground my cuts and v'd out the edges to make for a better penetrating weld. Next I rolled the frame up and had to let the air out of the rear tires so I could get the 2 sections of frame to line back up. I then used flat pieces of steel and c-clamps to get the frame back together and hold it in place. I also measured cross wise and from a certain point on each side to make sure it's square again. Then I started welding. Tomorrow I'll finish it up.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Nice progress, but one question. If it's a CCLB, why does the frame need to be cut down?

Looking good Ryan! It was a CCLB, but now he cut it to make it a CCSB.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
ahhh didn't catch that part. I still wish I would have gotten the CCLB instead of the CCSB when I had the option... I went with the SB because it was intercooled 2001 instead of the LB 97 non intercooled.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
I worked on it more this morning. I'm almost finished up with the welding and grinding. I want this to appear un noticeable when you look at the frame. I was going to plate the out side, but I think that may interfere with side tanks. So, I'm going to use the pieces I cut out of the frame and make sleeves that go inside the frame. They will bolt in and if I have room after I get the fuel tanks on, then I may plate the out side. I doubt it'll need it with a sleeve though. More pics.
Here's my brother starting to remove the old pieces left over from a 6.9 IDI cross member I had in it years ago. Here's a pic of the DIY4X shackles I got. Notice how beefy they are!

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Here we go! The box is sat on it and it's looking like a truck again! We removed the 3" body lift and it looks like I may need to remove a leaf from the rear springs to get this to sit level with an engine and drive train in it. Now I have to decide if I want to cut the frame for the box to sit on it right, or cut the box and leave the frame so I can have enough room to mount a sturdy step bumper? Decisions, decisions! I have to get or find radiator support bushings so I can get the front sheet metal bolted on it. This truck is going to have to go back out side for a while and wait until I get some other things done before any more work gets done to it.
No more body lift. Frame primered to keep rust off while it sits out doors. Box sat on to get a feel for how a CC SWB looks. More clean up on the front frame cross member area.

What will the bumper look like for it? I was actually thinking about having you build one for it any how.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
I might just cut it off seeing how the last 1" or so may not be needed. When I get to that point I might just call you for at least a rear bumper. For now, the $$$ will be going into getting the poor thing driving.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Looking good buddy! I just noticed that your truck is a 4x4 convertee as well. Got any pictures of that front cross member that holds the springs? It almost looks like that would give you some extra lift over the stock mounts but i noticed that you have what looks to be stock shackles on the rear.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Here is a little something to look at while I work on rounding up money to buy new parts and paint for this truck.
I went ahead and cut off the rear portion of the frame because it looked goofy when I notched it. In case any one is curious, 4 out of the 8 bolt holes worked for the bed. I only have to drill 4 new holes and the bed will be totally bolted down.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
The fenders and rad support are cake. The hood and hinges require cutting the firewall and making holes for the 81 up hood dinges. Then you have to adapt the hinges to the firewall. You slao have to make mounts for the cowl pins to set in. I decided that was more work than I wanted to spend on this thing, so I purchased a 74 front clip for this truck. The hood is just setting on there in the pics.
