Ok been too long---So I felt after lots of calls to Nate-I needed to show some progress on this frame--Put dash on hold for 2 wks and put dropmember together--showing a pic most people don't see--frame upside down w/dropmember installed-New Z06 rear 14" brakes --Waiting on front spindles and brakes from Boris---Installing rearend for mockup and then off to rebuilder 1st of week--Got the bulkhead fitting to finish under dash so i can weld in new dash--shame where i'm installing bulkhead u can't see it--very nice piece---Have a good wkend guys............jim

looking awesome !! love the brakes

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

The frame and brakes look great Jim! What's the story on the firewall fitting? Is that from Vintage Air or someone else?

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Man, that looks awesome! Very nice work!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Fitting off of ebay--will be mounted in bottom of firewall original fresh air pooch-will show pics in day or 2 when mounted-too nice to hide but i'm anal about hiding things-Frame will be eventually disassembled and shot in a satin black-Someone told Nate all those bolts look like lites on Christmas tree!! I'm going to paint them in place with frame just for ease of doing --But I tell U -If U every had a worry about most of this dropmember being bolted--don't be --It is the coolest engineered piece for the "DIY---ER" I've ever seen............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Lookin' good Jim!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

I am totally ignorant about this - is the front end an aftermarket? This is literally the first time I have seen a rack installed on this style of truck. Looks great....

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

and that is what makes this forum people like you helping other people, i for one say thank you for all of the help you have given me...."one of the everyday poster guys" ..LOL

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Dash looks totally awesome, I am going to be doing the same thing with mine, did you have to extend the dash width wise to get it fit properly? A couple more pics of how you went about it would really help. Thanks! Keep up the kick @ss work!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Had to add 3 1/2 " in middle---5" on each end--Did not take a lot of pics putting it together but will add more soon when i permanantly install dash---...........Just showed a guy today the Slosh Tubz--gasped for a moment on the price but came around quickly when he saw the workmanship and time savings for me...........jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

thats what i am talking about ....always helping a brother out !

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

thanks, im sure that other dash came in handy for that.... I only have one, so Ill be fabricating the ends, fun times ahead....

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Lovin' this build!~

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Once again I can't stress how much the 2nd dash saved in fabbing--the dash roll is unique to say the least--If u can locate another Ur waaaayyyy ahead!!
Let me know if I can help...............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Better pics of completed frame--less spindles and rear--mocked up rear today and removed and took to sandblaster--then rebuilder later----

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

pic of bulkhead installed --out side and inside shots--fittings are just temps-waiting on rest of them this week in order to make hoses --you guys have a good week.............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looks like a pretty top notch build, have you looked at the e-z clip aeroquip fittings for A/C, in my opinion look pretty sharp, and they don't have the stupid crimp on them...

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

No but I will --these will be hidden on both sides but when I get to compressor--will be different story---thanx.............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
