Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

No, really...........:D. I've been watching that one commercial with all the little clones running around...............:uhmk:.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

Thanks. That chassis you're putting together is pretty sweet. Definitely something to be proud of when its done.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!

Thanks!

Picked up a power brake pedal setup from UNCLE. Yeah, yeah I know that's a pretty weak thread update, but that's all I got right now, :D,

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

you know, i saw this in an article of Truck Builder mag recently - is the hole for power brakes in a diff't position than non-power? They had to re-drill the pedal when moving to a bolt-in brake system from SSBC.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

If you have a power drum setup and convert to a power disc, you have to redrill the hole in the pedal.

If you have manual brakes, I think you have to change the pedal bracket and brace on the inside.

At least that's what it's been told.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

Soooo that's why there's a different/ghetto rigged brake pedal in my truck. Explains everything. Now if I could figure out the reasoning behind all the other boneheaded modifications the PO did to my truck...

The beast is looking good, a little progress is better than no progress at all.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

Here is my crazy idea for a truck like that. adding a Longhorn bed, Dually rear end and cutting a set of stepside fenders for the bed flares. Then add a big block and a 5 speed. Talk about long!

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

Kinda like this.................

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

No 4X4. just 2 wheel drive and Dually rear end out of new Chevy truck

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

How about this, not a longhorn but close:

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

Picked up an OEM take-off tailgate, :metal:.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

Nice! You're putting the mud tires and diamond plate step bumper on finally? This is gonna be badass! :lol:

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

:lol: When I got the Crewcab it had one of those bumpers on it. I gave it to to HOTRODMTODD when he picked up the old chassis. I bet that thing weighed a hundred pounds! I guess I could have advertised it as a 2" drop bumper, :D.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

So you are Going with a Fleet bed Now? When did you change Your Mind from Using a Stepper Bed? The Photo shops you had as a Stepper concept were Kool.............

Do u Remember the length of each part of frame sections you used when making your new Frame?

Thanks, Rick

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

The other bed would be cool, but time is a factor so I'm just gonig to buy a SWB and put on it. As far as the dimensions for the frame, the cab was stretched 33", so when I mated the 2 chassis I just added and extra 33" in between the centerline of the cab mounts. I think the distance between the front and rear cab mounts ended up around 75 1/2 inches total. Do you have a suprise in the works?! :D If you have anymore questions, PM and I'll send you my phone number.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

Teaser pics of the Doug Thorley headers, :D.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

Here's the money shot, :). What do you see.................??????!!!!!!!

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

An oil pan of sorts?

Or... hiding a dead body under the frame!?

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

I see where MY exhaust would be. Along with every one elses...but YOURS seem to be missing. Hmmmmm. (Do I win a free ride in it if I'm right?)

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

Nip and tuck.....Hide then unsightly bulges.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
 

those look sick, I'll be by tomorrow to pick them up.
