frost89434 · 01-20-2003, 01:06 AM

Very nice !!!!

Slammed67 · 01-20-2003, 01:11 AM

Looking good! You need to raise your bed floor and then raise the fuel cell and battery box! Then maybe 1971 Stepside will stop complaining

**BIG ORANGE** · 01-20-2003, 01:16 AM

Oh Behaveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lost wages · 01-20-2003, 01:17 AM

1971 step side will never stop complaining, its his nature( he drinks cappachino!) i probably will raise everthing once i set the bed back on to see what i need to cut out. Heres a pic of my bed.

lost wages · 01-20-2003, 01:21 AM

just to show what it looked like when i got it, minus the body.

barn9 · 01-20-2003, 01:53 AM

Nice work Lost! Can't wait to see more pics of the progress, it will be nice to see it all go back together.

Low68 · 01-20-2003, 03:53 AM

WOW... I noticed that you don't have any holes in your frame. NICE. That looks really awesome. Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming. Dang that makes me want to rip mine apart again.

What did you use for front bag brackets? Custom or Store bought ? Thanks

jmil1974 · 01-20-2003, 10:32 AM

LOL!!!!! @ crushing that can!!!

Reumster · 01-20-2003, 10:45 AM

I don't see the difference between the before and after shots!!!! LOL

Looking good. I think the battery tray maybe a little low myself. You can save space by using one of the high dollar batteries. They can be mounted in any postition.

But now I must brag on you a bit. I like the idea of relocating the battery. Clean up the engine bay some. I really want dual batteries on mine.

Fuel cell looks nicely done. How many gals? Where's the filler going to be? bed floor?

lost wages · 01-20-2003, 12:30 PM

thanks for the compliments guys, the front bag mounts are air ride technoligies as is the rest of the kit. I have to give slammed 67 credit for the battery box idea, i saw it under his truck and had to do it also. The fuel cell is a 16 gallon tank and i might just make a false floor in the bed to fill it, not sure yet.

lost wages · 01-20-2003, 12:31 PM

oh yeah, ignore the wagon wheels, 20 inch wheels are going on it soon!

crazy longhorn · 01-20-2003, 12:32 PM

kxmotox247 · 01-20-2003, 03:13 PM

Lost...
The chassis looks great! Maybe I passed over it but did you say if the frame was painted or powdercoated? Looks like a lot of nice detailing. Everything looks great.

>X< · 01-20-2003, 03:20 PM

damn, i cant wait till mine is at that point. seeing your truck, tims, motobike's, slammed67gmc, 71 stepside, and al the others who are in the sages of frame ups, makes me want to go out ant paitn my frame today, but i have other stuf to take care of first. all my friends trucks have bags, everyday i lean toward the more, those pictures made me lean even more. are ll the bolts new? did youre replace the old rivits with bolts? did you jsut get hardware sore bolts, or a kit fom somwere? what grade is enough for the frame? nice work on sweet start of a truck man

>X< · 01-20-2003, 03:23 PM
