coming together!

 

I honestly don't know if I am going to put them back in. But we ill see the closer I come to wiring the dang thing.

 

Looking good! Is it going to be rolling by the time you move?

 

As of two days ago she was completely under her own weight. I just need to find 2 16.5 wheels to fit the rims and then it is going on the trailer.

 

Here is my latest round of Fabrication

queation for ya with this pic.



are you planning on caging the truck? the only support i see from the front end is the 2x4 boxed mild tube, i can just see it tweaking the front end up. tie that rear cage to the front engine cage i assume through a cab cage?

the other thing, as i read through it looked like the rear cage was made of hot rolled. the weld seam is a dead give away. maybe im wrong but just something i noticed.


awesome work man. love the designs

 

Hey, so to start off, yes the back is ERW, as well as the engine cage. But I am going to spend the money and buy D.O.M for the cage when I do the cab. I have been asked that a few times and I can see were you got mixed up. I plan on having 4 spots going threw the fire wall connecting the front of the cab cage to the engine cage, and 6 from the back of the cab cage to the rear cage.

As well My rockers are beat in and rotted, so I am going to cut them out and build my sliders as my new rockers. as well they are going to go forward of the doors about 6 inches and then I am going to have a tube going from the rockers to the top of the engine cage and then plate and dimple die it in for strength and looks.

I hope this cleared everything up.

Cheers
Chris

Ok so I have tried a few times right now and it is not working...no think this is a administration problem.

 

it works if you open it in a new tab.

 

yep, haha I lol'd at the rear suspension comments

 

I thought someone would get a laugh at that comment.

 

Its coming along nicely!!!

 

Updates?

 

I agree!

 

I agree!

 

Easy Zach! Lol

But yes I concur!

 

Hey guys sorry for not posting. But this build has been put in indefinite hold. I retired from the canadian forces last Febuary (2013) and shortly after that moved to Alberta. Once my girlfriend and I got out here we found out that we are expecting a baby.

So as of right now it is sitting in the Greater Toronto area, and it is for sale.

 

Get rekt. I just spent the last hour reading every comment in this thread, only to arrive at this depressing conclusion.
