nice work

98L150 · 12-06-2008, 08:29 PM

Nelson been working and got the rear notches all installed. Plan to finish the rear tomorrow so he can finally set it on the ground and see how she looks.

98L150 · 12-07-2008, 07:11 PM

Well here she is outside on the ground Stillneed to remove the factory tranny crossmember and the factroy trailing arm crossmembers and this will lay out.

**lolife99** · 12-07-2008, 08:06 PM

Sweet!

*1sik52* · 12-07-2008, 08:23 PM

Looks Good! If its being built by a RA member then you know its going to look good!

Spray-Bomb · 12-07-2008, 11:43 PM

Sweet !!!

Now hurry up & get those X-members out so it will LAY !!!

pacificustoms · 12-08-2008, 05:40 PM

I've always liked the look of that truck! What was the reason for re-doing it all? It looked like it layed all the way out before? Did you guys get another frame to start over, because there was no notch or anything... What did it have under it before for suspension?

98L150 · 12-08-2008, 08:01 PM

the orginal frame had a 5-6" z (full width of the frame)and the rear was done with a lot of "different" ideas that did not work out to well that the previous owner did. when he found the new frame from another friend of ours it also had a clean mostly rust free cab which allowed the prefect oppourtunity to start clean and go with a cleaner newer set up.

pacificustoms · 12-09-2008, 12:37 PM

Cool! Is he going for the same suede look he had before?

98L150 · 12-10-2008, 01:48 AM

no he is going do a full on build this time.

here is a cell phone pic of truck with stock tranny crossmember removed. now all he has to do is get the new rear crossmember removed.

How's the fit of the new panels? Also what brand are they?

nuke1 · 12-15-2008, 12:56 AM

great height adjustment!

98L150 · 12-15-2008, 10:14 PM

the new panels are goodmark and the fit of them is ok. they will still require a lot of work though to get the fit properly.
