1976 chevy short box

[alwaysbroken]

loggers box.. i finally got it.



i just got the tool box off a buddy. he gave it to me so i just threw it there.

theres fire extinguishers on each side

[alwaysbroken]

after about 4 hours of grinding and cutting nuts and bolts off.
half done

the pile left

[Altec]

When are you going to dove tail that bed?

[alwaysbroken]

dove tailing it would look lame. why would i do that

got the rest of the grinding done on the bottom and painted but ran out of paint.


my sweet bumper i cant use.

[Altec]

Function. I assume since this is on Pirate you plan to take it off road? The corners stick out a mile. They are going to hit everything, and if you go through a trench the bed is gonna snag. Gonna sound cheesy, but I've seen it a million times. I'd at least 45* the back corners.

[alwaysbroken]

you sir thought wrong. if you read the first post its a pavement princess. it might see a few gravel roads but its my first truck so its not going to be abused.

[Altec]

So, why was it on Pirate? Eh, nevermind, I don't want to know.

[alwaysbroken]

why not. is it a rule. i cant have it on pirate4x4?

[alwaysbroken]

today i went up to lordco to get.....U-joint,head lights,trans fluid and i order a glass pack. so got home started my truck up and i was poring trans fluid it and boom. The trans line exploded, nice right hell of a mess so tomorrow im going to pic up some line to make a new trans line and my glass pack.

I can 100% assure you that if you didn't bevel that crack and drill the ends of it before you welded it, it WILL crack again even with those tires and street use. To fix that area correctly you need to use a weld in frame brace and the bolt in ones from ORD. http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/steeringkit.htm If you don't you are asking for trouble. If that thing is going to be a mall crawler why the logger box?

[alwaysbroken]

valve cover over haul and stuck the box on today.

[alwaysbroken]

break lines are hear and in, just need to bleed them.

deck

amp

[alwaysbroken]

well what do we got here?






its not primer is is a rust paint.

[TheWhiteElephant]

Looking good, man. I really like the square headlights on these models. Did you rattle can it or did you use a paint gun? I personally liked it blue but it should look really nice when you put all the trim back on.

[alwaysbroken]

spray gun. yeah i thought i did to till i did this. once all the chrome is on and its back together it will look great...hopefully

[blackout]

looks great!

[alwaysbroken]

thanks ^
i got all the trim back on.

[TheWhiteElephant]

nice! The trim really sets it off. I think these trucks look great with the trim.
