That is a very stout foundation you will be very happy with the way that truck drives,
Have you looked at front drive sets?

Re: Mike's 50
 

I have looked at some and thinking of going with the GMPP Corvette front drive kit.

Re: Mike's 50
 

What are your plans for the fuel system?

Wheels look nice!

Re: Mike's 50
 

:jdp: Im a little jealous sir, just a little. That chassis is gorgeous and the stance so far looks pretty dang good!

Re: Mike's 50
 

ChuckDriver, Plan is a no limit Fuel tank, Aeromotive pump.

MavDog, thanks

Driveshaft has shipped and should be here monday or tuesday. ordered tank 3 weeks ago, hopefully soon.

Re: Mike's 50
 

Well Progress has been slow. Got some parts in the last week or so, new No Limit Fuel tank, will try and get Aeromotive fuel pump installed and maybe get the tank mounted, got a Red Oak bed kit from Mar K along with stainless steel strips and angle strips. Ordered Ididit Coulmn but will not have till the middle of December, sucks but what can I do now.
Also got my new driveshaft from Denny's driveshft, nice piece and not a bad price, and great company to deal with.
Also my Dad is going to be bringing down my cab and front sheet metal so I can start working with that stuff atleast.

Think after I get tank and pump mounted I can get fuel lines run.
Been busy with the shop and paying customers plus daughter's cars.

A couple of pictures attached and will post another after I get the cab on.

Re: Mike's 50

Re: Mike's 50
 

Great looking truck. You're building lots of guys dream truck.

Re: Mike's 50
 

Chev3600,
Thanks. Cant wait to get it on the road.

Re: Mike's 50
 

worked on mounting the fuel tank also played around with Column and seat.

The column is an Ididit Brushed aluminum tilt Column.

The seats (if I use them) are out of a 2011 Volvo S60 I scrapped last year. They are power and hope to hook that up. Removed the headrests as they have the Monitors for rear seat Entertainment system.

Re: Mike's 50
 

They don't get any cooler than this! I don't think you told us, 430, 480, or 525?

Re: Mike's 50
 

Thanks,

430.
any pics of your truck?

Re: Mike's 50
 

Are you still looking?

Re: Mike's 50
 

Spent sometime at the shop this weekend got a little bit mocked up slow progress. got the doors fitted, need adjustment.

Got the Altman latch kits installed, started mock up of fuel lines.

Running -6 Summit hose and Fittings. Plan on using a Corvette Fuel filter with built in Regulator. May change that up later.

Also installed a Street and Performance Swivel Thermostat Housing, Nice piece and will make attachment to Radiator easy.

Also test fit of the Dakota Digital VHX Carbon/Blue Gauges, polished original Speaker Cover, Glove Box door.

Solidaxel, I haven't looked recently at front drive, you have any suggestions?

I also have ordered up a set of Absolute Sheet metal Floor board kit and it should be here Monday.
