So I pulled the motor so I can power wash it......2 hours later and it still needs another bath :( On the bright side, my 60something econoline came in tonight!!!! Now I can start finishing the front suspension before moving to the back end. The bad side to this is that the motor mounts are...

Been slammed with work so I haven't had much time to work on my truck. However, since today is my bday, I thought I would spend some alone time welding up the dash. Now that I'm finished welding it up, I will get it sandblasted and bondo it lightly. On a good note, finally found an Econoline...

My 36 dodge truck came with a 116" wheelbase and I stretched mine to 144" :D I'm about the same as my dually. I would have much rather went with a sedan but I picked up my cab for a good deal.

What's the wheelbase on this? How far did you stretch your front out?

If you're doing it by yourself, then yes it is a bitch

http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29208 My suspension is completely different from anyone out there because I'm running a true suicide suspension. I had to scrap the original plan of running a 46" I-beam because of my wheel choice. Till I can find a 61-67 econoline front axle, my...

My frame is 26 1/2 in side to in side and I still have plent of room. When they give you the width, it means that they are factoring in the turbo, the P pump etc. you'll be fine.

2X3 would be fine. The only reason I'm running a 2X4X1/4" is because I plan on dragging mine.

^^^^this!

I beefed up mine for four reasons. 1. The motor weight. 2. I will be producing over 1000ft lbs of torque and 3. I'm running a suicide suspension. 4. I might drag it

Nice! just don't forget that the cummins motor all by itself weighs 1k pounds. I had to beef up everything just to handle the abuse I will put everything through:D

been too busy working on other things for customers that I doubt I'm going to get to working on it any time soon. Since I need a 61-67 Econoline axle, I'm kind of at a stand still. So since I wont have any updates for a little bit, I will at least show you some of the stuff I've been working on...

Thats a very clean look! Love what you've done! I'm hoping that when I'm finished with my dash it will have just as clean of a look.

yeah the trees wouldn't be hard to do but smog?!?! LOL paint the license plate grey? LOL

Progress......nope. I had a few projects that I have to finish for customers but I did pick this up today A couple of customer projects I had to start this week..... BBQ that I have to completely rebuild Had to make a seattle skyline 8' long for a customer. It was so big that I couldn't fit...

LOL I'm sure MI has some national icon (not detroit) that people would recognize :D

bland dashes just don't do it for me. I also needed a dash that can accommodate lots of gauges and the 58-60 can do 5. The rest go in above the windshield. On a side note, instead of working on my truck today, Mike (friend that helps out around the shop) sat down at my computer and designed...

What is the measurements on the G10? Center of kingpin to center of kingpin and center of spring perch to center of spring perch

Here is a side shot of the dash mocked up in the truck. Had to cut a lot out just to get it in there snug and still more to cut so it fits perfect. what it will look like inside the cab
