Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Yo! that tank is bad to the bone! Is it yours or a customers? How did you make that pattern?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Thanks!! Its a good friend of mines bike, silver base metallic blue and a chit load of silver pearl, hard to see but i will get better pics when its assembled. Its a trick with some plastic just have to be fast at it ;)

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Looks kinda like that silver leaf stuff. Hope to see it around town some time.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

get in line brother!! :sumo: :lol:

that's cool!
I bet it will look killer in the sun :metal:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Yeah my Uncle Jimmy, the boat race,r used the saran wrap to do this to one of his regular lake boats with a dark burgundy color and lots of metal flake. Looks wicked in the light!

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Thats cool! I put a huge helping of pearl in the clear and it looked white when i was mixing it so im curious to see what it looks like in the sun too!

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Did you use plastic wrap and wad it up on the wet paint then remove it real quick? I tried a marble effect on some rc car bodies doing it that way. It was kinda a pain cause on the rc bodies they are lexan and you have to paint the inside of them and paint the colors and pattern in reverse to get the layers right. The tank looks awesome.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

I "AM" in line, right in front of you! Say, since you're storing the transmission in your garage for me, do you suppose you could just swing it on over to Scott's for me too? Soon as he gets it done he can start on your'n.

I'm just askin.............






:haha:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Yeah i have painted a few RC bodies, kinda weird to do it all backwards and make it look right :lol: I did the parts just with painting plastic but used slow reducer in the paint to make it dry slower. Harley World loved it :metal: :metal:


:lol: why dont you bring it over and BS a bit :lol:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

I'm afraid to go over to Joe's now and get it! :lol:

His wife already wants to hit me over the head with a 2x4 for the spittin violation and now they might gang up on me!

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

ok, I'll get right on that......NOT!
:lol:


:waah:

:haha:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:lol: spittin violation? What you do spit a big chunk-o-chaw in the middle of the garage?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Thats why you either man up and swallow it or find a grassy spot somewhere....

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

I bring a cup now! :lol:


"perfanisms" I like the sound of that! :lol:

Nothing makes me happier than being a bad influence.

Holy crap! Did I just say that out loud?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

the 88+up frames are tapered in the rear behind the cab, making just moving spring hangars difficult....the 88+up 1 ton dually chassis cab (ordered without factory box) have straight frame rails, 34 inches apart, to accept aftermarket bodies, and are very easy to shorten/move spring perches around...I can take pictures of both frame configurations, as I have several of these trucks. Now if I can figure out how to post a image on here, I have a real nice GM diagram showing all measurements/configurations...will try to attatch...Nice pics and job Scott, on shortening your crewcab...I found this thread looking for info on doing my 94 GMC 1 ton Dually Crewcab 4x4, but my plan is to use a chassis cab rear frame section, along with the narrow dually diff from the chassis/cab (will tub the box inside) to have dual wheels without the big dually fenders...did this on a 87 and liked the look...now to find time to do it someday...have all the parts......also, Scott, when you moved the spring hangars forward, how much did you have to move the spring perches out on the axle? (am guessing you had to move them out because of the frame tapers wider toward the front)...

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

FastEddie, I'm with you, brother. I have a C&C that I'm gonna use for a ProStreet 454SS clone build. After I tried to figure out some configuration that would allow me to run wider tires, etc. with the stock chassis, I stumbled onto a C&C and I think it solved my problems. According to my preliminary measurements, the rear axle on a SWB should be centered between the two cross braces, giving a perfect spot for coilovers. Here's a pic, taken while I was standing on the gas tank at the back of the chassis.

The front yardstick represents where the axle should be, the T-square is just about where the frame rails will be cut.
As an added bonus, the C&C's have the narrowest of the 14-bolt full floater axles, 4X4 and rock crawler guys love 'em and will pay for 'em. I bought my C&C with a dead engine in it, sold the NV4500 for $350 more than I paid for the entire truck and still have a good roller 350 block. I'm still selling parts off of it, I hope to have enough for rearend narrowing and 4-link parts.
It looks like I'll be able to run the 1-ton front control arms with 1/2 ton spindles, just need to replace the spring, etc.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

I've got all the parts to mix and match to build what I want...Just have to find the time...I have a 96 GMC 1 ton 4x4 ext cab 6.5 turbo diesel longbox dually, full load, and a 94 GMC crew cab longbox dually 4x4 454/5speed (the one I want to convert to shortbox narrow dually (without fiberglass fenders) as well as a 93 GMC 1 ton dually reg cab & chassis (34 inch rear frame) with a 6.2 diesel/5 speed 2wd, and a 93 Chevrolet 2wd 1 ton reg cab & chassis (34 inch rear frame) 454/4L80E ....as well as several more 1/2 and 3/4 ton configurations, as well as a couple 'burbans...hopefully the project will get further than paper soon...the truck is going to be a work truck, with a 5th wheel in the bed, as well as a hydralic wheel lift ....will put some before pics up soon

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Cool looks like a cool build and welcome to the site. Yeah the perches are a bit wider in the front but think it will function ok, if not ill back half it and make it functionable :lol:
