whats your plans for it

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

plans are for a 4inch lowering kit, new black interior,18 inch front 20 inch rear wheels. front and rear roll pans, phantom grill, 66 fuelie vette hood scoops. black top of cab and bed rails and a custom yellow pearl tri coat bottom. and a air brushed grapic at the break line of the paint that looks like a loging chain that wraps around the truck with a lock on the tailgate.

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

sounds like a good project

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

Here you go, now you can see them..

Looks good and let us know what your plans are.

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

It's going to be a nice build plugs! You got a better price than the $ 500.00 I paid for the " Brown Hornet " build. I am currently running. That reminds me that I need to post some pics

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

Hey Plugs welcome to the boards. Looks like a nice truck, and here locally too! Make sure and check out the Oklahoma Section. Lot of guys from here around the OKC metro area. My uncle has a phantom grill that he's not using too if you would be interested. I'm looking forward to progress, and maybe I can run by and check it out.

Re: low buck build project yellow fever

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

here are a couple of pis of the cab corners removed. rear lowering kit got here from western chasis front spindles are on back order they say 2 weeks we will see. ordered a frame paint kit from kbs coatings. hope to have cab corners on and body work on cab done within 2 weeks then paint frame and install lowering kit. decided to move bed up closer to cab by 3/4 of an inch to tighten the space between the cab and bed.<a href="http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd61/oldplugs/project%20yellow%20fever/?action=view&current=Picture053.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd61/oldplugs/project%20yellow%20fever/Picture053.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Looks like your making nice progress! Keep it going! I've heard a lot of people like the Western Chassis stuff. Will be worth the wait.

i need a little help. i am looking at wheels i want to run 20x10 and 18x7 on the truck with the stock rear using 21/2 lowering spindles and 4inch lower in the rear hangers and shackles how much backspace do i need thanks

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

Hey Plugs here is a link to f.monroe's truck. Here he is talking about what he has in lowering, and what the size, and offset to his wheels. Also look at N2Trux's threads about his truck. Here is a link to his too.

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

in my option 18/20 combos look best with at least 5"of drop all around

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

thanks for the link and for the grill

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

thanks flamingbig10 i am also thinking about a 22-20 combo i may lower it more later with a flip kit and front coils but not yet i am worried about back spacing

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

no problem with a 10" wheel you want at least 5" of bs, what kind of wheels you going with and if you use lowering hangers and shackles make sure you keep the stock hangers if decided to do a flip kit because with drop hangers and flip kit your pinon angle will be way off but a flip kit and drop shackles work just fine together

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

No problem man. Can't wait to see the grill in with the hood.

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

hey flamingbig10 i have not decided on wheels i am looking around at a lot of different wheels i like a 5 spoke type wheel but have not seen the wheel that says i gotta have it yet

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

john c i will try and take some more picks and get them posted. i will take some pics of the interior parts and the vette hood grills with the phantom grill i got from you if i can figure out how to post them

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

have you looked at coy wheels there popular
http://www.coyswheel.com/coys.html

Re: low buck build project yellow fever
 

Photobucket.com is the best place to do them. You can load all your pics there, and then it doesn't matter what computer you are on they are there. Plus it's free, and it's not using up the space on the boards here for storage.

They are really sharp, plus pretty affordable too. Also the Boss wheels are pretty popular. There were some problems with them fitting, but according to posts here they are redesigning the wheels to correct the issues. They are also pretty affordable. Then again it's hard to beat a Torque Thrust II's.
