Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"

[VA72C10]

Liking the build plans and the 20's already look great but will be awesome once you drop it!

[Stitch]

Thanks man. I think it'll be nice when it all comes together.

[JohnC]

The wheels look sweet on there man. Sounds like you and Josh both came out pretty good in your endeavors.

[Stitch]

I think Josh and I are both happy with the deal.

Also put the truck to work today. Brought home this cab and don't know what I'm gonna do with it right off but I'm thinking maybe use it to make a rockcrawler maybe maybe. Don't know yet. Also you can see where I've been working on the rust on the hood with the clr. It's working pretty good it's just slow going.

You should repainted Blue and White like it is as it looks great in that colour with those wheels also

I can't wait til next weekend when I can get a chance to drop this thing on it's ass.






Here's a pic of the crewcab on it's way to it's new home.

this truck looks way better in person...but u do need a altitude adjustment..also when the throttle stick for a second jkjk....

[Stitch]

The throttle sticking was no f-ing joke man. That scared the poo outta me. And then that dern semi coming by when I was under the hood didn't make it any better lol. I'm glad it was something simple. And you are more than welcome to come over next weekend, pick up the wagon wheels, and help me put her closer to the dirt.

that was funny wit the semi thow at least every thing went good. yea shour have to ask.. u know who

[menace121978]

wow! i can only imagine!!

[Stitch]

Dennis when I finally got the truck stopped it was at full throttle in first gear. We were on the side of the interstate. The front tires were stopped and the back tires were just spinning and had to throw it in neutral and shut it off real quick. The IP on my truck had what I guess was an auxillary spring on it. Well it came loose and wedged itself between the throttle on the IP and the intake manifold. Unwedged it and it ran fine. Scary as he'll though when it happened.

[menace121978]

ive had a throttle or two stick on me in the past but NOTHING like that! crazy...

[thirdstreettito]

Why did you go with Coy C5's instead of the cheaper Boss 338?

[Stitch]

Because I traded 1972supercheyenne my crewcab roller for them. So they are what he had so I went with them. Also I'm trying to give the truck a streetrod feel to it and coys are a classic style like the torque thrust II. So they fit the look I'm going for also.

Ah ok. If its free its for me! :P

[87 chevy silverado]

i might be able to come sat.. just not stay all day. i will have my dad an a friend if i do come

[Stitch]

that works for me...I need to get some POR so I can paint up the control arms and get the bushings and ball joints installed...I also need to get some u bolts probably and new front rotors...

[thirdstreettito]

You gonna do a big brake kit on the front? Only around $650 and with those 20's it will really help.

[Stitch]

no big brake kit for the front...I'm going for suttle on the outside really...I want to WOW everyone with the interior of the truck...

Huh--I've wondered before if a standard cab could fit into our truck beds. I figured it would not, but you just taught me something new!

Lookin' good on those rims!

[Stitch]

Thanks Charlie. Yeah it was barely to big for the tailgate to go up but I have a 6.5 foot bed so it should fit in a longbed easy.

[palposity]

so how did the cab fit widthwise? Did you have to sit it on top of the wheel tubs or did it fit in between?

[Stitch]

I had to sit it on top. The bottom of the firewall is angled so that cleared the wheel well and then in the back side there's a void all the way across between the cab corners for the gas tanks and the frame. So the wheel well sat down between there. The rockers sat flat on the bed floor so it was really stable.

dont forget thet this cab is a 4x4 so the trans hump is a lil bigger to

[Stitch]

Yeah but I think the angle on th firewall is what was clearing not the hump. The bump isn't large enough to go over the wheelwell by itslf. I don't think
