Nice looking work. Used a little wire lately? Anyone that has ever done sheetmetal work can appreciate the amount of work that has gone into your trans tunnel.

I assume you'll be running bucket seats?

Keep up the good work. Wanna do mine next? :lol: -Chris

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

ya Ill be running buckets probly from an s-10, minus the headrest covered in tuck and roll.
thanks

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

Nice Work! One question though, what are the braces for that are towards the back wall? Is that a support for a driveshaft loop or something?

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

the brace's our connected to each other and its to add strength back to the rear cab brace that was cut.

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

Great work hope to soon be there. I was wondering on the pics theres one that has a 2x2 i was wondering if that was in the front or the back of the crossmember. Why is that crossmember in the rear of the suspension crossmember?

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

the peice of 2x3 was there to keep the frame together when i Z'd the frame. i have removed it.

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

Will someone please explain why the second way he ran the rear section is stronger than the first one? I did noticed that the first one i didn't see any gussets but besides that? I am interested because i plan on slammin my truck but want to keep the bed normal with the notches cut out rather than raising the entire floor for the bed. I hope that makes sence.

Your truck looks sweet!!!! Another stupid question is why did you have to tunnel through the cab? I thought i have seen other trucks that are bagged that didn't have the cab cut. I could be completly wrong though. I am definately be watching this thread. Great pics and info!!!!! Good Job!

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

I don't think you have seen truck that will be this low without cutting up the cab floor. Bagged trucks don't need the cab cut unless you do other things to make them lower like chopped crossmember, bodydrop, ect..

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

Its almost scary how similar my truck is to yours. Nice work.

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

To answer the first part is stronger in that its boxed and theres not that many cut in the frame, the old one had three cuts (behind the cab, and on both side of the notch. the new on has two.

And to answer why i had to tunnel the hole floor is because its bodydropped also and set up for a 28" tire in the rear.

thank everyone for the encourging words will have more pics soon.

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

you have any pics? im interested in what yours looks like.

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

thank everyone I appreicaite the good words, this is what i wanna do some day , i wanna build hot rods.

pissonNOS- all the work that you see there has been done by a angle grinder w/ cut off wheels, a chop saw, and my wire feed welder and some C claps.

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

Did you get anything else done? I would like to see more pics! :metal:

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 

have everything but a wirefeed welder and i could definately take the one from the shop but dont really have anyway to transport it but i have been considering buying a decent mig welder know anything for under $1000 that would be worth buying?

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
