[quote=timmytimm3;6029334]Coming along! As for setting that pic as your avatar, you need to resize it to what ever the forum allows.

If you are running windows, google for "windows image resizer powertoy" and download that. Then you can just right-click on the image and resize it to what ever you want, and save.[/QUOTE
Thanks man... I tried it but my pics are too big still:waah:
Thanks dbomb glad to have you on here too. Your truck is one of my favorites!
Love the walk around video sounds really good. Yeah I will be happy to drive this thing again.... It's been like 13 yrs!
Thank you!
Wow dude nice compliment seeing your caliber of work makes me feel like I'm doing things right. :chevy:
Haha does look that way lmao!
I actually want them to still flex a little so I don't rip my trailing arm crossmember instead. Too late now already blasted them and started priming them up lol.

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

So as mentioned before now that I have a welder I want to weld everything lol so I hit a few spots and then got carried away rewelded the bottom of my back half. The welder I originally was using was using was running off a generator and was limited.... In my new area I have good power and get some halfway decent looking welds down so I am cleaning things up a bit for peace of mind.....

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

When I use the resize, it creates another picture and adds (custom) to the name. Make sure you upload the correct one.

The forum says "120 by 120 pixels or 34.2 KB (whichever is smaller)"

If you chose 120x120 and it still won't let you, maybe try 80x80 or 60x60?

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

Wow J, you are really moving along now !!
I need to practice on some heavier iron, so I can get my welds looking like that!

Keep up the good work bud, makes me not want to go to work today, but stay home and get stuff done on my build :lol:

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

Thanks again.... I have been doing all of these updates from my iPhone so I will try from my computer later.
Thanks McMurphy means a lot being a beginner in the fabbing department lol. things are about to get kicked up a notch. I often wish i could clone myself so i can send the clone to work and stay home and work on my truck:lol:My boss gave me the ok to bring bring my chassis to work so I can tear it down for the last time and blast prime and paint it next week :metal: :metal: just hope it comes out as nice as I have it planned out in my head. :chevy:

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

looking good, it always helps to reweld it if you think you should! that way you dont have to worry about it later, say to yourself "i know i should have welded that"!!

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

Looks good man! Did you fab those notches or buy them pre-cut?

I just got a shipping notification for some steering parts from Porterbuilt. Getting anxious...

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

Thanks man! Nice seeing ideas shared here lol.
Truck is looking nice...grill is a nice touch!:chevy:

Thank you. Yeah that's pretty much what i was thinking. Disintegrating way to paint it and wish I finished things differently

Got a little bit done tonight. Sliced up my last crossbrace up to make some brackets for a new one.

http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q...A89391224F.jpg

And with the help of a friend pushed the truck out and turned it around and was able to get the motor and trans mounted back in and to my surprise everything seems to fit just fine...pretty happy I won't have to use the high hump.

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

Well had a busy weekend doing family stuff again. No real progress just pretty much cleaned out most of my junk out of my old bay. And did some more driving lessons with my little one lol. She seems to have the hang of it!
http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q...655B568727.jpg
Then she wanted to go in the garage and see daddy's cool truck...
After cleaning a bit she wanted to drive the truck too so I let her take it for a spin lol!

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

And placed the box on my new made bed Dollie....
Can't wait to bring the truck to work this week, should be an interesting week to finally see 6 months of dragging my a$$ on my frame work. This is my first project like this so I am making things as perfect as possible.

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

progress is looking good man!! are you gonna run a panhard bar or watts link? im gonna end up changing mine over to a watts link i think.. i wasnt happy with how much it moves out of center while the suspension travels

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

You know Jmo, once you get your truck back on the road you are going to have a hard time keeping your little girl out of it...

And, once she gets her license, it is going to be impossible !!

Hahahahahahaha good luck with that one ! :metal:
