Last night I finally got the box side trimmed up for tire clearance. Then got it temporarily screwed to the truck. The white chalk line is where the outside of the fender is going to be.

I picked up a goodie for my Dana 70 rear end, now I'll lay 4 lines of rubber when I do a burnout. But also help hook up when I want to go.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Love the look of those fenders, makes it look like it is moving fast, while it standing still!

I know it's been a while. I got the box all together and on. Got all the bolt holes for fenders, which was not easy with the truck being so low and no hoist.
Attachment 1381647 This is the front of box side support I made had one of the fender bolts go through it. Attachment 1381648 Had to cut some of the front of box to clear frame and wires. There will be a bracket to hold front to frame. Attachment 1381649 Also got the box top tubes welded on turned out very nice. Attachment 1381650 |

Time to clean shop out, ready to make running boards. So we pulled the truck out and WOW does it look good. This is the first time EVER I have seen the whole truck. There is no better feeling than seeing what you have built all in one piece out in the sun. Now I really cant wait to finish this and drive it!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Hell yes! That looks sweet man! What do you have planned for the front wheels?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I'm thinking of running the 16" rims that are on it for a while. I'm not putting spacers because I want to keep all that weight under the bearings. Going to get 245 or 255/60/16 tires before I drive it. There is 235/60/16 on it now.

This is a pretty cool idea. 7.3 was a good engine. I used to own a company that built custom diesel trucks. Mostly the 6.4 but the old 7.3's have a huge following. We could get them up to 350hp. More could be had but it all boiled down to how much money the owner wanted to spend.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Wow SSABMUD That's a crazy twin turbo set up!! I'm hoping for 300 hp and 500 lb. Diesel Doctor is close to where I live. They said with my setup I should be able to but we will see.

Got the running boards finished and welded on. The truck will sit on them when it's all the way down. The frame is 3.5" off the ground, I came straight down from under the frame then out from there. I used 5/16" sst flat head bolts to hold the 3/16" aluminum checker on.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
She is looking real good. What will be ride height? Going to be a bear to get a floor jack under. Mine is tough but not as tough as yours.
