Non-Trad. 46 Chevy truck ground up

[westex_rat]

i ordered both of them from speedway, the clutch is a 3/4" Clutch and the brakes are a wilwood tandem master brakes Then we fabbed the mount ourself, and had the laser guys make the pedal arms

I really like the look from the side on your frame , in front where the kick-up is it looks perfectly positioned to hide the sump of the oil pan. I don't know if that was planned or not , but I think that's one of the things that adds to the cleanliness of a build --- NICE JOB [cl[cl

Son's falling behind

Since my Son is falling behind on his job of up dates. I will try to post some. Got the lower sides for the bed done and the rollpan made but not mounted. Been doing a lot of the slow stuff. Welding up holes and doing body work. Will be mounting Caddy tailights frenced into the roll pan. Shane made the buckets and we will try to get them in the rollpan before we weld it on.

more updates

Here is the roll pan,and some pedal pads we made. Shane wants the rollpan flush with the tailgate. I had planned to put it below the tailgate but he wants it flush so I will move it cause it's his truck. Diffrence in taste due to Gen gap I guess. I liked the tread plate pedals but he wants smooth. What do ya'll think? I meant frenched above on tail lights.

This is looking great! I love the wheelbase, it looks like it's going 90 sitting still.

I think they are 2 different types of cool & you can't go wrong with either.

Everything is lookin good like the build alot. Seems like with the 6" z in the front its gonna be sittin pretty low hope you dont find any speedbumps.

 

[westex_rat]

its set up for 4 1/2" of clearance at the frame. the body is about 3/4" higher so it should be good anywhere around here. We though about it before we went to choppin away

I'm loving the look of this truck. Very well thought out design and that tail pan is right on with those Caddi lights. Sweet [dr

 

[westex_rat]

just made some big orders to hopefully finish out the fab side of it. Still deciding on what to paint it, fake patina or a two tone. thinking a dark blue and flat black, with the black on top running down the body line. Maybe if someone out there is really good with photoshop they could give me a preview of both..

Box and Possum belly

Added a storage box with a lid and a Possum belly behind the cab in what would have been the bed of the truck. Shane got his throttle pedal in so we put it in too. These are the pedal pads we made to match the Lokar gas masher.

Shock mounts

Started on the front shock mounts. We made some brackets to go over the Radius rods for the lower mount and cut some for the frame. We have them slid as far forward on the radius rod as I can so as to prevent flex.
