Zack brought this one from Columbus for full shave(started by another shop in his city, Total Customs) widened wheel tubs in bed, one piece side windows, flipped gate handle, rollpan, and a 50" led in gate and slick deep black paintjob(may be adding some one off airbrushed trim)

Test fit the bed

Bed is in epoxy and is being bodyworked

marked and cut holes for leds and cut back skin out to do flush skin with flipped handle and led access. Also new bed bolts came in so we can bolt it down and shim to line up with cab for bodywork

reinforcing doors since they are so flimsy at the top and then we had to cut out a brace for one piece windows so it got even worse. Also worked half a day shimming and adjusting panels to get everything close before bodywork. Now working on welding and grinding door edges and jambs to get the gaps perfect.

56fleetside · 11-04-2008, 09:36 PM

Baxter worked on getting cab panels lined up with door and bed and also worked on correcting ****ty gaps on right side door(drivers side way worse gonna work it tomorrow) and got alot of the bodywork on right side ruffed in

ive noticed on these trucks is bed and doors line up but cab rolls in so bed sticks out further we are modifying to make it lineup

56fleetside · 11-04-2008, 09:37 PM

Baxter got the cab post welded up and bodyworked and pretty much finished out right side today

Left side gapped and roughed in ready for final putty and blocking

Baxter just about has the cab and front cap ready for polyester primer....

Thats gonna be areally nice truck do you usually have to do the doors like this with the one piece window install

**Captkaos** · 11-07-2008, 01:55 AM

No you do not. Some cheap aftermarket doors are flimsy and it is recommended that an angle be added to the door for bracing. most aftermarket and all Factory doors don't have this problem.

Those are factory doors and everyone ive ever seen is flimsy espcecially when the tab is cut out for one piece windows.

56fleetside · 11-07-2008, 09:38 AM

Oh and these trucks have some of the worst door gaps from the factory that ive seen. We have looked at a good many very nice trucks of this style that the gaps werent fixed on and IMO it ruins all the work put into it if the gaps are taken care of.

Spray-Bomb · 11-07-2008, 12:34 PM

Smooth

thirdstreettito · 11-07-2008, 04:49 PM

Looking good!

Rokcrln · 11-07-2008, 10:03 PM

So how did you go about fixing the bed to cab profile? I agree it does not look right from the factory.

We split it at the corner and moved it out then added a filler strip on back cab wall

I haven't had that problem on stock doors.

The door gaps are "good" (nice and big

) the panel fit is the WORST ever though. Most have issues with the front top corner above the vent sticking out, or the rear doing the same.

Interesting. I'll be staying tuned to this one.

56fleetside · 12-05-2008, 10:22 AM

Polyester primer for first priming/blocking stage.....Notice how nice the gaps are and how sharp all the lines are on the truck. Baxter did a great job. This will be blocked with 180 then primed again with 2k urethane then blocked with 180 and primed again with 2k then finally blocked with 400 and final blocked with 800
