Wow, that's ugly. You better just send it up here when you get it done. :lol:






















Great job, that looks pretty dang nice. The thing I like about it the most is, the color combo is cool and you don't see many like it!

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"

Thanks. I agree on it being lower, i think it will make all the difference in the truck.

The doors are another story. I ordered a aftermarket door knowing that it might fit very good, and i was right. Except it dont fit at all. It has about a 3/8 gap at the back and sticks out about 1/4 at the bottom front. So now it's back to patching rust on the original door.
I still am shooting for paint this weekend.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

That always sucks! My tri-plus fender on my Longhorn fits like crap too. So I'm told from the body guy. :lol:

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

I scored a 79 parts truck yesterday that has a lot of good parts including the door i need and a hood. It also has i beleive a C&C rear under it. It looks like all the grille chrome is good also!

In the mean time i will get the other three doors cut in and ready for paint and paint the dash this weekend.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

While i had the doors on for a final test fit i thought i would snap a pic.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

Oh yeah, getting close!

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

Man, that's going to be sweet!

What's next after paint? What are your plans for the drivetrain?

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

Drivetrain is done. 5.3 and 4l60e. Next will be be lowering it, putting interior back in and mounting the burb buckets. It will take a little time to get all the doors back together and get all the trim on.

Hopefully i will get the doors painted next weekend.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

Somehow I spaced the 5.3...did you get the motor and trans from a local salvage yard?

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

Trans came from Myers in Canton, the engine i found on craigslist.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

I got half the drop done, kinda got a stinkbug stance right now but i will take care of it.
Plans for the weekend is to get the doors cut in Sat. and maybe shoot them sun. I need to go get the parts truck that i bought sometime sun. so i can get the other door and hood.

Then i will try and do the flip one night next week.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

That's going to look awesome buddy!

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

I agree with Ryan!!
AWESOME!!!
If I haven't said it before, or even if I have, I love the color combo!!

How are you finding time to get this thing moving along so fast? I love it. Did I miss what you are doing for tires or are you keeping those?

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

Thanks guys.

Its tough finding the time,but I have to hurry before baseball starts or I will never get done.
The tires on the aluminum wheels are 235/75/16 that I was planning on using, but I may need to go shorter.

What did you end up with on yours?

It sure helps get things done during the weeknights when you can work indoors in some decent light. Looks great!

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

Yes it does.
