I owe you guys an update from the past few months. I got so wrapped up in finishing the truck i forgot to take pics at all. I finished the truck the day before my deadline car show. the last few weeks were 10 hour days minimum to finish all the little odds and ins done. so in this last month i...

5" front and rear i believe

i used coker for my bias plys, people have had problems with the radials and blowouts. i think most bias ply blowouts are from air pressure issues. you cant beat the pie crust skinny bias plys man.

8.90 rears 6.70 front. both on 15" wheels.

Your right man I'll try that. The bumper should blend well and keep the uncluttered look. Its two wishbones with about 40 holes drilled in it. I think I'll put the lights right above it. I'll take a few more pics.

I really appreciate that man. I just want to drive this thing. I'm going to try and get thing wired today. Wish me luck!

thanks man!

looks good man, i like the way the friction shock goes through the front cross member.

the hairpins are speedway 27" and the frame is 24" up front. ill prob do the next one a little different as ive learned quite a bit on this build. next one i wont go true suicide. i like the look of a model a crossmember with no frame horns that so that the axle appears to float out front. i...

i wanted a nice high arm rest and wanted to make it more like a cockpit feel and section off the driver and passemger.

update time fellas. well im getting real close, the last few weeks ive been trying to get the body straight. im not making it perfect, but just straighter than it was. i dont want it to look like a glass body from all the filler. the roof pretty much took one big skim coat to get smooth as it...

just curious, are you at all concerned with the pulsed mig welds on the batwings? you obviosly are very good at what you do and i was wondering if you felt like they fused well. they do look good though.

ok about to start on my bed, anyone got any homemade bed pics? im thinking 18ga with a 45* brake with 7/8" pipe on top with stock stake pockets. lotsa rivets and some louvers on the bed floor.

thanks man you have been more help than anyone ive talked to. turns out my rear lug pattern is actually a 4.75 which i didnt catch because my wheels are multi lug pattern. (duhh) small detail there could have saved me all this looking. so basically all i need is 10 or 12 bolt brakes 64-77. way...
