Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
I'm good... just work all the time, I don't even have time for dirt cars anymore, so I figured I would start working on this, I already have the motor and trans built, hopefully by spring I will be ready to get some paint shot on it. You?

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
Just back from the salvage yard. I picked up a suburban fuel tank out of a 90 model so it has the baffle for the fuel pump. Also got all the inside wiring for my electric doors and windows. Big score on a gauge cluster with electric speedo.
Tomorrow i going to get the bed off and get the truck outside for a round the the pressure washer. Then start prepping for shortening the frame. Wish i could start today but, i coach my sons peewee football team and today is the second round of the playoffs. Win today trip to the Superbowl. Paul |

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
Well got quite a bit done today. Pushed the truck out side and power washed the engine compartment and frame.
Got the bed off, gas tanks out and shortened the frame. I have it tacked togther, for now going to bring gauge home from work so i can get a precise measurments and make sure i'm good before final welding and plating. Last edited by rs72z; 11-06-2011 at 10:58 PM. |
