How far off the ground is the crossmember @ this height? Is it bottomed out? I'm trying to determine how much kick-up your front subframe/rails have compared to the main rails under the body vs. a stock truck subframe/main rails.

Thanks, Scot

brad2 · 10-31-2003, 12:47 AM

Give me a couple of days and I'll find out for you. It is definately not on the ground. It will be capable of car show cruising when completly air out.

SCOTI · 10-31-2003, 12:26 PM

Thanks.... no rush, just whenever it's convenient.

brad2 · 11-14-2003, 01:18 AM

I wasn't able to get the crossmember measurement you wanted. It's on jackstands right now. Here is a drawing of the front clip Morrison sent us.

SCOTI · 11-14-2003, 01:33 AM

Top print aired up... bottom, aired out?

brad2 · 11-14-2003, 01:44 AM

Yes thats it. The spindle measurment on the top pic is what everything was based on. It sets up a pretty low drive height. I knew it would get lower when deflated. How low was not really a concern because I never intended to plant it on the ground.

SCOTI · 11-15-2003, 02:22 AM

Thanks Brad2. That's good info for comparison. BTW, any progress lately?

brad2 · 11-15-2003, 02:54 AM

It now has a dash and that sure made a difference. That made it look much more complete. Steve even had a grill shell and some headlights in there the other day. It's slow going but it is progressing.

SCOTI · 11-15-2003, 02:02 PM

Good to hear.

brad2 · 11-15-2003, 03:55 PM

Yes I know it is but the dash has to remain a secret for a while.

OK, I can understand that. We all have to have out little secrets.
In the meantime, gives us some more exterior pics, or interior pics without showing the dash...

brad2 · 11-16-2003, 12:28 AM

Look at the Garage section.

gutterman01 · 11-16-2003, 12:53 AM

hey Brad here's a stupid question Isee you slicked over the fire wall where the heater box goes so will it have a heater or will you relocate?

brad2 · 11-16-2003, 02:12 AM

We don't have stupid questions here........ It will have heat and a/c. It will be a aftermarket unit that will fit behind the dash.

**N2TRUX** · 11-16-2003, 02:29 AM

Brad, that is off the map buddy. I am VERY impressed with everything I see. You gotta be pumped every time you drop by there.

Please keep us updated as you can...

I have a question. Is it laid out in all those pics? How much did you have to step the rear pan up? I have a couple more, but answer these first...please

GMC JUNKIE TOO · 11-16-2003, 02:57 AM

Brad its coming along nicely, im going to have to see the finished product. Today I got my january issue of Classic Trucks and there is a small story about your jimmy in it.

phantom dually · 11-16-2003, 03:18 AM

I saw the 55 when it was at the Air ride booth in Louisville KY. I must have looked at that car for at least a half hour. Very impressive and is likely the cleanest car I have ever seen. The exhaust work on that car alone has to be worth thousands. Id say your trucks in very good hands with those guys!!

phantom dually · 11-16-2003, 03:21 AM

Btw I dont see a garage section at that site??

It's in the top right on the main page.

Still looking badazz.

phantom dually · 11-17-2003, 12:11 AM

Thanks man!!!!!

brad2 · 11-17-2003, 01:30 AM

Thanks for the kind words.....I do appreciate them.

N2TRUX I wasn't there when those pics were taken but I would say it was laid out. The frame kick up in the rear I have no idea how much. Just judgeing from the floor though I'd guess six inches. I was down there today and totally forgot to ask about that. It has the steering column hooked up now and I was totally amazed how far the wheels can turn with it laid out. Oh yea!!!

GMC JUNKIE TOO thanks for the heads up on the story. I'll have to check it out. Someone from Prime Media took a couple of pics of it back around April. I had no idea if anything would come of it or which magazine they would put it in.

Hotrod70C10 · 11-17-2003, 07:54 AM

Man, that thing is looking slick! Where is the shop at in okc? I guess i'm just dumb b/c I've never seen it. lol btw, I've gotta see that thing in person after it's done!

brad2 · 11-18-2003, 10:27 AM

It's at I-35 and SE 89th. Behind the big parts place, is it Classic Auto Parts? Anyway you would never know it is there because the is no sign on the building.

lotik · 11-18-2003, 08:25 PM

how much $$ are you gonna have in that when its done?
