I agree, I like the sheet metal, what kopeki is talking about is maybe tiltling the radiator back a little so you can see over the hood line better

The radiators on C/K series trucks are 2" shorter than the old body style ones. I was thinking about trying to kludge a C/K core support onto Pigpen and cut and rotate the hood hinges to lower it accordingly but there is absolutely no room for me to do that now with the uber-tall 8.1 intake. You might be able to make it work though.

i might be able to get an inch or two, but it would be tons of work, as is my radiator is almost touching the hood and the frame so it wouldnt be easy so i am going to live with it
ive got that 98 chevy with the core support if ya want it
i got some of the front tube work done so far today and have mounted the driver side fender, here are some pictures
also the doors will be coming off once i get the car cover, it should be in the store i just need to go pick it up
doors are off and donated to bigbird (need some internals and the door pannels). the yellow truck behind the general. duno what i'm gonna do with it but i couldn't pass up getting it
Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come
your going to sell it. what internals could you have possibly used from the passenger door?!
the door lock mechanism and then the door panels. bigbird was a power everthing truck but the doors on it now are manual so the door panels etc were wrong. i need manual

I see you decided to skip bending tube?

just for the front stuff, i wont get anything done on my cage till i get my hands on a bender. do you have a 1.75 die yet?

I like the look of it with no bends. go look at any pre-runner truck and they are almost always done like that if triagulated properly it can be much stronger than with bendsI see you decided to skip bending tube?
I like it looks sweet, have you decided how you are going to do the hood
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
i just cut it, i liked your idea but i just wanted to get something on there, ill find another hood later and try out that way
