ultimate tow,show and pull truck build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hello my name is Aaron and i thought I would share my panel truck build with everyone. I want a truck that I can pull My Jeep to the trail with, cruise the rod runs in and maybe even pull in the local tractor pulls. The plans start with 68 chevy panel truck ,make a 4x4 tube chassis with one ton axles and 37 inch tires,and run a duramax and allison combo.so far Ive tore it all apart and started sand blasting. Got some tubbing bent and mocked up the engine and trans. I will post a few pics monday (i cant find camera)

dccarpenter · 10-03-2010, 11:08 PM

Nice project and definitely some nice welds

skidmarx offroad · 10-04-2010, 06:46 PM

Made the rear cab mounts today.Going to try to get some more tubbing tommorow to start the rear section of the frame and start the roll cage. I'll post up some pics if I get the tube.

skidmarx offroad · 10-08-2010, 07:40 PM

got some tube and finished the rear of the frame rails and made the main hoop for the roll cage. today I started on the front spring and shackle mounts. im pretty sure the ride height and stance will be real close to what i was after. I cant decide if I should put a full cage in the rear or just make it in the cab section. Any ideas? I will put some pics saturday its to dark and they dont take good.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-08-2010, 08:12 PM

Very cool project and awesome fab work! This truck will be a beast for sure!

skidmarx offroad · 10-09-2010, 06:35 PM

heres some pics

these are not the wheels and tires that are going on here and the front axle is just a 1/2 ton i used to see where its should set. still need to mount the rear springs and i can put it on the lift and finish some cross members and drive shaft hoops and stuff like that.

royo · 10-10-2010, 09:02 AM

Looks good Man. I can tell that this is not your first tube chassis.

skidmarx offroad · 10-10-2010, 09:55 AM
