Just checked in again, I like how you cut out the inside piece of your bed to fix dent on the outside of bed, your build is coming together nice.

Nice looking project and I noticed we are nearly neighbors.

“I would rather spend 2 hours making a part than $2.00 buying one”

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-08-2012, 08:01 PM

Been working on my truck but nothing picture worthy...

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-15-2012, 10:32 AM

Back from the dead.... I finally got the fuel tank installed I raised it almost 2 inches so I cannot be seen from behind the truck. I really think it takes away from the look of a nice truck when you see a big tank hanging below the roll pan.. I used silver on top of the tank to match the air tank and semi satin black on the bottom so it would help the tank disappear... I also shot a coat of semi satin black on the frame rails and the multi color rails were bugging me.. All the bolts are new and replaced with stainless where the load is not great other wise they are grade 5 and 8.. I finally got around to getting the new trailing arm bushings pressed in along with a my new carrier bearing.. The trailing arm bushings I did myself and were a pain in the ass I paid a shop to install the carrier bearing never again will I go back they were retards... I also got my wiring ran back to the rear of the truck and they are all tidied up in made for you clamps and some sweet mesh type loom and it pretty sweet.. Ill try to get the rest of the build updated but please keep in mind that some of the pics my be out of order...

**Hart_Rod** · 07-15-2012, 10:34 AM

Looks great Frenchy!!!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-15-2012, 10:34 AM

Fuel line hooked up to the filter still waiting on the rest of my clamps and wire cover material..

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-15-2012, 10:37 AM

Thanks rob I am hoping my new press and dimple dies show up on monday so that I can box in the trailing arms and punch in some holes... Also have my watts link from fays2 on order... There is a car show coming up in 2 weeks and id like to get it there..

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-15-2012, 10:55 AM

New battery mount I made to hang the battery off the passenger side frame rail below the bed... This holds a dimple died battery box I bought from grunion customs long ago..

Nice work on the fuel tank,,,look'in good! I really like that fuel filter, I've been running one on my V8 Cherokee for seven years now with no problem (haven't even had to change the filter yet).

VA72C10 · 09-16-2012, 02:36 PM

Hey johnathan I think you mean 2031 hahhahhahahaa

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-02-2012, 09:04 AM

Back at it guys....... Tons of pics to post hopefully they will be in a somewhat correct order..

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-02-2012, 09:20 AM

Here's a few pics of the curly maple I got from work.. Its hand picked and its super wide which is hard to find.. I plan on running stainless runners and just sealing the wood with clean to let the grain shine.. The wood is super cool looking with grain running the length of the board and also across the board..

**oldman3** · 11-02-2012, 09:44 AM

Is it in a ruff cut stage now? If so, are you going to plane it or leave in ruff....Jim

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-02-2012, 09:47 AM

When those picures were taken it was in rough cut form.. It has since been ran through a time saver sander at work and squared up... Its beautiful wood for sure.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-02-2012, 09:56 AM

Looks like I deleted all of my pics? Ill get some time this weekend and go back over what has been done...

truckzilla · 11-02-2012, 11:58 AM

That bed wood is going to be so sweet looking! Like a giant guitar!

longbed67 · 11-03-2012, 07:29 PM

Very Nice, Tiger Maple/ Curly Maple is a very beautiful wood!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-04-2012, 12:15 PM
