Building my turnover ball gooseneck hitch. Still have some work to do, but a very productive Fab day.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Finished the fabrication on my gooseneck hitch. Will need to blast and clean it up.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Really like the wheel and tire combo Trevor! Nice job on the hitch and receiver looks good.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Thanks Brett, good hearing from you.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Trevor looking good!

Ive got a couple goosenecks I'm going to play with for my truck. Is this going to bolt to the top of the frame? looks similar to the b&w 73-87 chevy gooseneck?

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

That’s what I copied but made it to fit my chassis, it will bolt on top of the rails under the bed floor.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

what did you start with? I was thinking about buying a 73-87 b&w and trying it on mine.I was thinking it may work for me since my frame doesn't kick up as far as yours, but not sure about width.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

I started with the B&W 1500 for flat bed kit, was around $150. Then I had this old 8” C Channel front bumper from my CJ10a Jeep that was a perfect starting mount.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

oh ok makes sense, you must have removed the square top plate that comes with the flatbed kit?

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Yes, that was one of the most time consuming things on the fabrication was cutting that 1/2” thick plate off.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Looking good. I'm curious about the powerplant. Have you shown the engine yet? I know you said lB7 Do you have one ready for the truck?

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

The engine is still in my donor truck currently where I can still run the fluids through and keep it rolling. I have been preparing the rear of the frame and am close to working on the front half. I plan on getting a Fass pump and a set of SAC injectors but it has had great maintenance it's whole life. I will detail it when it's time.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Nice! Reminds me of our doner 3+3 chop top convertible buggy.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

summit has them
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/u...8245/overview/

and the ebay seller told me in an email they could get em with blank centers so you could machine whatever bolt battern and hub size you wnted.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

wow!

nice work on the CC conversion

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Thank you.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

I punted the idea of multiple headliners, it just wasn't coming together how I wanted them to. Reverted back to my original plan, one I had seen executed by another member. Added a 2nd dome light for seeing in the console.
Big question, where should I place my cargo lamp switch? Dash, B-Pillar, etc. It's no longer convenient to have under the rear dome light.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

I have to finish welding on the inner roof, but will also need to wire in my electrical (Clearance lamps, dome lights, cargo lamp) before the outer skin goes on for it's last time.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Looks good!

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Well, found out I was 1/4" long on my floor on the driver's side, spent all weekend fixing that and getting back to the inner roof where I thought I was at ahead of the weekend.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

I like the inner roof
with dome light in the
center.
Looking good.

More of my inner roof coming together.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Adjusted my upper door gaps.
