here are some of the tube work pics

 

these are pics of the cab on the frame after narrowing it 12". With the old tube work still on the frame from the previous owner. And also of what the old backhalf used to look like.

 

more misc pics of the cab and tube work on the interior

 

more pics...some of these are out of order for the build process. but you get the idea of what we have brewing in the shop over the last year.

 

some of the finished pics before we took it out to pismo for new years to play before we got started on the 2nd half of the project.

 

front suspension is done, sittin on its own weight, LS1 is in the frame and ready to fire, and some pics from our joy ride in pismo with the 1st build stage done.

 

the last of the pics for now.

 

Super sick custom work guys. I especially like the dash and interior. Very clean and simple.

 

x2 on the dash, Nice job on narrowing the cab too, looks :smokin:


sits pretty high though but I guess its set up for dunes more than crawlin

 

it is high right now, but with the new suspension in the front we actually lowered it about 2.5-3inches. Which only allows about 6" up travel in the rear now due to frame clearances.The leaf springs were limiting us before on height along with the wrong spring rates in the rear. Its intentions are to still be a full size rig, but haul ass in the desert, then drop it in low on the rocks and still kick ass. Basicly a KOH designed rig thats a full size truck.

 

very clean, very simple. I like it.

 

nice:smokin: Ive seen a dodge and a ford bronco narrowed that way but this is the first chevy.

 

Yea I like the way it looks narrowed. Give me some ideas for my spare cab.

 

Nice job on the shape of the rear coilover mounts!

 

Very nice rig. Good job on the whole rebuild and the cab narrowing.

Needs more triangulation

Nice job though, seriously.

How about a few flex pics?

 

Are you refering to the front or rear suspension needing more triangulation? Possible pics of flex by the end of next week if we get it to exhaust sometime next week.

 

Im curious as to how well the wishbone works out for you.... Im thinking of doing the same thing to my racer instead of a complete 4 link.

Ideas? Would you do it again? is it harder on joints, or does it feel like its wanting to induce more body roll?

 

I'm with grumpy i'd like to know more about the wishbone rear

Nice looking rig by the way i like the narrowed cab looks killer

 

Subscribing...

 

i like the chrome :usa::usa:

 

HAHA for some odd reason the shiny junk on this truck just never gets rock rash. all the old fenders, grill, and cab were beat to shit from one trip to Hollister Hill, but not the chrome.

 

More pics of the body mounts etc. I love that boat side idea!!

 

Outstanding build

Should you add another tab to your seat brackets to put them into double shear? Sandwich the seat bracket betweet 2 tabs off the tube frame.
Just a thought

 

Im not sure that I follow you on what your idea is for the seat mounts?

 

some more recent photos of the truck build. Newly added 42x15x17 Pitbull Rockers, Raceline beadlocks, warn winch.

 

some more out of order pics

and now for the next phase, never satisfied

New 22 gallon fuel cell with bladder and bypasses and air bumps, this should help get to and from the trail head more efficiently
