Maybe it's my end of the deal...I can see NO pictures at all now on post 65, and also no pistures on post 72....

Went to Home Depot the other day and picked up some wood to build a jig to hoist truck in the air with a cherry picker and while I was there I bought a couple more flap disks. When I got home I noticed a big difference between the harbor freight brand vs the diablo brand. I think the diablo's are going to last a little longer

Cherry Picker Jig


I really needed to be able to lift the cab by myself and I found this new jig on the interwebs. My old one picked up the cab from the bottom of the cab. This wouldn't work to drop on frame. My new jig lifts the cab from the under side of the roof. The cherry picker simply jacks the arm up into the jig and lifts the cab.

Here is the jig:

Jig works!


Time to bolt on the cab to frame and finish up the rest of metal work. Pillar support, rockers, cab corners, radio panel, inner roof header.


























I am loving the way its looking so far. It's pretty low with the 4.5 / 5.5 drop kit. This is the first time I am seeing it and I can't wait to see the rest of the truck together

LS Engine Swap - LM7 5.3L


Well I don't think I need to worry about space, plenty of room to move the engine forward so my speed engineering headers will clear the clam shell mounts. Here are some pics of the clearance. I plan to move the engine to the front holes instead of the rear holes where it sits now.
