and there goes the orange wire..lol. surprised the hole was about the size of a penny.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-22-2011, 04:20 PM

I have just the basics on the drivers side. The fuse panel was relocated to above the trans tunnel and ran to the frame that way..

67chevy1series · 05-22-2011, 05:13 PM

67s dont have many unnessacery holes.... nice work it should look alot better with a coat of primer

**kev2809** · 05-22-2011, 07:34 PM

so what are all those little screws coming out of the driver side?

texastrendz · 05-22-2011, 09:57 PM

well, i own a bunch of welders. lol. i used a hobart 230 machine for those i believe. i also own a Lincoln 220 and 110 machine. i would use a 220 machine just for the amperage you will need to penetrate. i know some people say they can get a 110 machine hot enough, i could never get it to do it. a welder is a good investment, and over time it may actually make you money by doing jobs for other people.

**kev2809** · 05-22-2011, 10:07 PM

ya your right. i been wanting to buy a 220 for a while, but its hard to invest in expensive tools because it takes away from my truck for a long time lol.

i thought about turning it into money from other jobs too, but i have a horrible consious (sp?) thats why i dont even want to weld on my own frame...i guess experience would take care of that though..

they are for a "jute padding" to sound deadned the cab

**kev2809** · 05-23-2011, 09:42 AM

so they can just be cut right off on the firewall?

**kev2809** · 05-23-2011, 11:10 PM

im thinking also to maybe buy these [IMG]http://*******************/files/imagecache/product/Over_Axle_Lower.jpg[/IMG]from suicide doors and weld 2 pieces of square tubing across the notch and weld a square 3/16" plate across, and mount the top bag to it. the lower bracket is only 30 bucks, and im sure i can rummage around for the tubing and top plate. those kp brackets are nice but they are over 100 bucks shipped!

charx2 · 05-23-2011, 11:42 PM

I thought about those too but decided to go with the under axle ones. Im going to order some sleeve bags tomorrow I think and do Some fab work to get it all to work right.

is there a reason your going to use sleeve bags instead of regular bags? i think you can still use the kp brackets with sleeve bags either way though..

they just might be coming off then lol

**kev2809** · 05-24-2011, 09:02 PM

ordered the thorbecke bros axle brackets i posted above. should be here middle or end of next week, so maybe next weekend i can tear into it. im hoping this weekend i can borrow my friends cherry picker and maybe get this motor out of here finally!

**kev2809** · 05-29-2011, 12:09 PM

well i still havent gotten the engine puller yet, so i decided to finish up the rear that i started on a few months ago. and heres how it turned out..

lot better than this...

still needs a little grinding and then filler but happy how it turned out. this was probably the hardest part i had to replace on this whole truck...lot of body curves and a tailgate hinge to make sure it was lined right, lot of relief cuts and splices. you can see its still a little bent in, but the bumper will cover that anyways

67chevy1series · 05-30-2011, 01:59 AM

nice job a skim coat of bondo and your done

maxxxy · 05-31-2011, 11:52 PM

I've seen you around on the forum, but I've never really looked too much into your build. I just read all 16 pages of your thread, and let me just say that you do some impressive work. Keep it up man.

thank you..appreciate you dropping in!

well guys, i got my axle brackets in a few days ago, had the day off so i went at it. cut them damn tubs out, that wasnt fun! im having a few problems trying to get everything lined up...some unusual problems. hope to get this all welded up by this weekend. heres a shot with the trailing arms up against the frame, with the bag mocked up. just a teaser til i get everything welded in, but should be what it will look like.

im really considering a spacer between the ta crossmember and ta's because im not really digging the offcentered wheel...

67chevy1series · 06-03-2011, 01:07 AM

burb looks nice, i wish i had a welder that worked ok

charx2 · 06-04-2011, 01:14 PM

Sweet! Looks like your making more progress than I am. I just have an idea and the material. No time though. But here is what I will most likely be doing. Something like this just cut to fit obviously and gussets where they need to be.

C20-67_N_MO · 06-05-2011, 09:49 PM

Very nice progress!

Hoping to start work on mine in the near future.

Congrats on a very cool project!!

that does look tough. could you make a square crossmember that hoops over the axle housing?

thank you!

well, got everything wrapped up yesterday. it tough trying to weld with a 115 amp welder, i think before i attempt a "Z" im going to get a bigger welder! heres some progress pics from over the weekend..

was tough trying to get a good angle, but you get the idea! i still might add some 1" spacers between the bag...it doesnt get a lot of lift with this setup..it just clears over the top of the tire at full lift.

67chevy1series · 06-10-2011, 02:40 AM

burb looks good! keep it up bud!

1sik7t2 · 06-14-2011, 06:02 PM

berry nice...about the centered rear wheels,,drove me crazy with mine too we moved mine back and did a triangulated 4 link looks perfect now...mine WAS on the trailing arms too....keep "down" the good work!!!
