I like it. What are you doing for doors?
i think he is running his 1/2 doors that he had
...
hell yeah - that looks pretty sweet! Need some more pictures...
it looks nice and mean. what color are you gonna go with? black i guess. would probably be a good idea to run a bar behind each seat and get some 4 or 5 points. are you planning on running any bars back to the bed to tie them together and maybe make it a little stronger? also.......(like every a$$hole on pirate says and because they say it on pirate it must be true)... needs more triangulation :)
lookin good!!!!!
Is the A-Pillar the about the same angle as the original pillar? I figured you would have made it more laid back. Looks badass either way. Get some more pics.
Once I get the motor to fire up, I might need to do borrow your 42s for a test fit if you dont mind. I need to see how much I need to lift.
:flipoff2:
really though, looks peemp!
thats alot of work to accomplish what a tape measure can in a few minutes. :flipoff2:Quote:

which one of you ****heads took the tarp off my truck then left it on the ground?

why is there 2 feet between the axle and bed, yet 2" of up travel on each shock?
I see now, if the fuel tank is above the carberator you won't need one of those pesky fuel pumps.
yea, i don't the rear tubework. all that body work is just going to get ****ed up so whats the point.
progress is slow, mainly because it's hot as balls. had to address some serious floorpan issues after going through working on the cage. clayton is my deadline so i'm not in a rush. this one needs money dumped into the drivetrain. the red one needs the frame cut down and the short box put on.
floors done. going to pull the old seats and bedline it then the tube bending can start again.
floor got bed lined, seats in, cage is pretty much finished, tube doors built. may work on the red ford some now. only have one pic and its of the seat frame. will get some more next time i get the sanch out of its tarp hanger.
red truck front axle malfunction.
need another?

He said the floors are rusted through in some places. How did you replace yours? Oxy-Acetylene torch where it's rusted and then weld in new sheet metal? Anything I should know about the whole process? (**** that I can/will fawk up?)
If you go back a page he pop-riveted street signs over the holes and bedlined over that.
No oxy-acetylene... use a cut off wheel on some type of grinderQuote:

So you need to learn how to run a grinder w/ a cutoff wheel and pop rivet sheet metal to the floor? Brady will be at Clayton and can show you. :gigem:Quote:

did someone "borrow" a flaring tool from my house?
Got a few things to get done on this **** before up coming trips. After dicking with another truck and a boat, I have finally fixed everything that broke from the ill fated trip to soggy.
I will have done before the alto trip, regardless if I go or not:
f350 booster/late 90s f150 mc swap [with 42s my brakes suck dick]
rear disk brakes
fix leaking ****/broken hub bolts on rear axle
replace wore out tres with heims on tie rod
canvas top for the cage [maybe]
For clayton I need to have done:
doubler (i have both cases)
twin stick 205
shifters
new trans and tcase crossmembers
rethink rear driveshaft [flanges?]
get tire vulcanized [****ing tpost at 47]
spare tire [maybe]
Beyond clayton:
I need better steering. Maybe full hydro. Don't know if my gear box can take a psc pump.
Thats the running list. Keep your eye out for a good deal on doubler ****. I have all the parts for the brake stuff so that will be happening soon. If it works, i'll post all the part numbers.
