Shaved the back of the cab, It shows on the step bed and bugs the $hit out of me. SO IT'S GONE!

**Yukon Jack** · 06-26-2003, 03:09 PM

So how did you do that? That's very sharp.

kxmotox247 · 06-26-2003, 03:10 PM

Looks good! The link to your website with more pictures isn't working. I'd like to see some more.
Cool looking truck. With all the custom stuff you have done, have you thought about the one-piece windows?

NSANE68!!! · 06-26-2003, 03:16 PM

Thanks, Yea I got a whole room full of parts one piece, new rear and front glass, mirrors, gauges, carpet ect. ect. I just need time to finish.

On the rear of the cab I cut metal welded flush and skim, block, prime, block, prime, block. You get the picture she's smooooooth now.

griesel72 · 06-26-2003, 03:18 PM

Nice truck

Smooth68 · 06-26-2003, 03:23 PM

Smooooooth! It's gonna look sweet dude.

cojnit · 06-26-2003, 05:40 PM

just curious, what did you do for opening the door? Did you use actuators, or just relocate to still have a manual opening device.

NSANE68!!! · 06-26-2003, 06:41 PM

Actuators (solonoids) with a keychain remote

barn9 · 06-26-2003, 09:31 PM

NSANE, did you stiffen that somehow on the inside to keep it from "drumming" when you get some speed going? What I mean by drumming is that large expanse of sheet metal from wanting to move back and forth like a drum once it gets some pressure moving against it. I'm not positive, but I think that is the reason for the indentation shape of the back of the cab. Just curious, that was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw it. But I DO like it, A LOT!

ginter · 06-26-2003, 09:35 PM

Good lookin work!

NSANE68!!! · 06-26-2003, 09:39 PM

Yeah, I thought about that, mainly when the BASS hits. So I use thicker than usual sheet metal and drilled some spots in it to actually weld it to the indentions if that makes sense. I don't know how else to explain it.

6T9GMC · 06-26-2003, 09:56 PM

MAN, THAT LOOKS KILLER SO FAR. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN MORE PICS IF YOU HAVE THEM TOO!
THANKS

NSANE68!!! · 06-27-2003, 10:58 AM

Here ya go 6T9GMC. Up, down, & side to side

NSANE68!!! · 06-27-2003, 11:00 AM

Don't mind the brick behind the wheel, I reached under the truck and kicked it in nuetral to push it out for these pics. Just threw a brick under the wheel to stop it on incline.

NSANE68!!! · 06-27-2003, 11:01 AM

Motor and SS emblems embosed in metal

NSANE68!!! · 06-27-2003, 11:02 AM

NSANE68!!! · 06-27-2003, 11:03 AM

& bed before and after. You can also see my previos project in the garag which became a donor for the 68.

yellowgmc · 06-27-2003, 11:04 AM

very nice!!!

kxmotox247 · 06-27-2003, 11:33 AM

Cool pictures! Your other "project" truck...didn't it get hit or something horrible?
I'd like to see a pic or two of that.
How did you do the SS logos?
Cool truck! Can't wait to see it painted.

NSANE68!!! · 06-27-2003, 12:35 PM

SS logos were taken from a junk yard score niSSan tailgate. I scored 2 tailgates fo $50, cut out the SS and cut a matching whole in fender and welded in.

The 72 got T-boned and totaled. I had 2 yrs in that one.

It became the donor for motor, doors, suspension, rearend, seat, ect. Here is a pic of it when I put a 4/6 static.

NSANE68!!! · 06-27-2003, 12:36 PM

and when it was bagged on 17's and most of the shaving done.

6T9GMC · 06-27-2003, 12:51 PM

AWESOME ON BOTH! SORRY ABOUT THE DONOR. MAN BOTH LOOK GOOD. THANKS FOR ALL THE PICS. NICE JOB ON THE SS. ARE YOU PLANNING ON RE-ARCHING THE RR WHEEL OPENINGS? I'M GONNA TRY IT I THINK. MIGHT BE MORE THAN I BARGAIN FOR THOUGH!

THANKS

NSANE68!!! · 06-27-2003, 01:27 PM

Yea I already bought the side replacement wheel arch for a fleetside 67-72, I will use it as a mold to make a glass one then mold it in. Just have to wait and see how th mold turns out before I commit to hacking on that fiberglass.
