Well i got the cab on today! Everything lined up perfect!! The wheels are centered both in the front fenders and the bed fenders. So far so good. I took some pics.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
i can give you a $500 cash deposite and then wire you $1,000,000.00 western union, then you just write me a check to refund the difference?

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Well i got the jig and frame back into the garage today. I also got the cab and bed on the frame. That was alot of work. I made supports to hold the bed level and square on the frame jig. Tomorrow i am hoping to start making the false bed floor or at least the supports for the bed floor. Just trying to figure out how i want to do the wood in the bed floor. The cantilever suspension is pretty wide. I actually think the rocker arms will protrude into the fenderswells. I imagine that i will just make a clean cut in the fenderwells or something along those lines. After i get the bed fastened on the frame i will take some more pics.

Well i got most of the bed floor done. I still need to make the brackets that connect the bed floor to the frame but I have those figured out and a few other things. I made some bed supports to hold the bed up and then i shimmed it to be level. Then i grabed some scrap steel i had and made an X to keep the bed square as i built the floor. I am also making a sheetmetal blank so when you open the tailgate you will see a painted piece of metal instead of a gap. I think that makes sence. Anyways what do you guys think? The rectangle that surround the shockwaves is going to be left open. This is my first time build a raised bed floor. There will be 6 bed mounts that bolt to the frame and I am thinking about using curley maple wood for the wood planks. Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks
Josh For fun i included a pic showing the ride height. A red bull can doesn't even fit below the pinch weld on the rockers. Almost though. LOL. |
