Full Fibreglass Truck Bodies - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

J-Spec C10 · 01-06-2003, 05:10 PM

Ok, this is so cool! I was surfin' around the net and found an awesome site: www.dragglass.com

Has anyone bought stuff from them? Any quality concerns I should know about? I'm gonna get a set of f-glass inner fenders and a cowl induction hood so I'd like any feedback before I spend a penny.

I hope this post doesn't break any posting rules. If it does, I'll delete it.

too bad they dont have flared fenders and bedsides.. but looks like some decent stuff... i have come across a similiar site. cant remember the name, but the site looks similiar.. may have just changed names..

I like the 81-87 SS hood...I think that would look good.

I bet you're thinking of US Body. They have alot of the same stuff.

**Edit** Actually, I just noticed at the bottom of their web page it says "by US Body". Sounds like one in the same.

Check Truckin' magazine. They did a write up of building one of these.

after my wrecks though, i like the metal bodies... i have seen what they do to platic ones....

J-Spec C10 · 01-06-2003, 09:45 PM

Good point, but if I was building an all out race truck with a 12 point cage and tube frame construction, the full fibreglass body would definitly be the way to go.

Im just looking into the hood & inner fenders, they rust bad here so I figured why not try using 'glass.

Still cool stuff tho!

whats up with that step down hood? who the hell in their right mind would want to decrease hood clearance with that hideous piece of crap? personally, i like the Indy cowl hood. i almost bought one for my TA. not your every day cowl hood that everyone has. or how about the Ram Air II with a LS1 and a 6speed under it, or a Pontiac 400/TH400?

J-Spec C10 · 01-07-2003, 12:45 AM

I thought the same thing about the stepdown.... why? It makes no sense to me....

Prerunner1982 · 01-07-2003, 02:39 AM

ive always thought that.........

Too bad they don't make a fiberglass floor that's strong enough for weight and salt proof. This way all the northern trucks floors could get replaced.

J-Spec C10 · 01-08-2003, 02:40 PM
