loveshackle 08-22-2008, 01:28 PM Is it just me or are the front wheel wells going to do some self-trimming very soon?

X2 on the fender trimming :D
trkklr77 08-22-2008, 03:14 PM wow, all the money spent on the motor and tranny, the axles swaped out, and the cheapest rock bottom rims you could find.

you betcha boys!!! lol. cmon give me a break. im trying to get it somewhat respectable for labor day weekend. i couldnt afford another 1000 dollars in rims. they are just temporary.
and i do have to do some fender trimming. I know this. i just got them put on and took the pics.
Gutter Runner 08-23-2008, 06:24 AM The wheels are fine. Weld some beadlocks on them instead of buying fancy ones.
aaronr10 08-23-2008, 07:40 AM what's not to like....their black, steel and 8 lug. Winning combination in my book.
200 bucks will get you some weld on bead locks when your ready.
dnchevyman 08-23-2008, 11:22 AM yea, i know a few people running the diy4x weld on beadlocks, and they like them. might have to try them out myself.
i know one thing, im gonna need crossover steering or maybe hydro assist.
GMCTruxrule 08-23-2008, 11:55 PM Mmmmm...10 bolts and 38.5 inch Boggers....mmmmmm.....:stirthepot:
dnchevyman 08-24-2008, 04:36 AM Mmmmm...10 bolts and 38.5 inch Boggers....mmmmmm.....:stirthepot:
no, its mmmmmmm.... 14 bolt full floater rear and dana44 front mmmmm..... lol
speedmontzj 08-24-2008, 09:50 AM watch turning while under power. i was breaking d44 shafts with an open diff, 5:13s, 4-speed, maybe 100 flywheel hp 350 with the same size tires and stock steering in a 77swb. i thought i could keep it alive by running it open, but i was running stock shafts. i didnt start breaking stuff till i started airing down.just make sure to not turn while the front tires are spinning. the truck looks good. i wish i would have built a blazer instead of a truck.
dnchevyman 08-24-2008, 11:29 AM yea, im gonna have to baby the d44. but since i got the 44 and 14 bolt with 4.10 gears for 160 dollars for the pair, i will use it till it blows. its an open dif up front, and worn out posi in the rear for now.
thanks for the comments
dnchevyman 08-24-2008, 11:32 AM well, soo much for nice rust free front fenders... *sigh* this was hard for me to do...

trkklr77 08-24-2008, 12:27 PM i just cut the entire lower horn off the fender.
dnchevyman 08-24-2008, 12:36 PM yea i thought about that. almost did it. but i figured id only cut what was totally needed. that way i could possibly add fender flares. might end up just cuting them like you did.
