Absolutely insane. Great metal work. I am using a l92 in my truck as well with porterbuilt drop member and rack steering. Don't by chance have any specs on relocation for the alt bracket and ac compressor bracket do you.

jumped on the tunneling of the cab..the center section was raised up, so we could run a one piece driveshaft, so thats why there is a 'tombstone' in the middle of the tunnel..since one of the structual supports was cut out of the rear of the cab, i made another piece that'll act as a structual support out of 1/8" plate, that i rolled..here are some build pics...

thanks eveyone...no it wont touch the seat.. there will be 2 bucket seats, and the center console will hide the tombstone..also it makes for a nice mounting point for the console... i also made a tribute to killer1 that got stollen..

You are one hell of a designer and fabricator! Thanks for sharing, and good luck on the project. Gonna be very unique and awsome.

[JasonBird]

[67chevy1series]

Super work Don! I like what you have going on the cab mods. Keep the updates rolling in.

ok, catching this thread back up. we desided that stainless steal airlines were more "the look" we are going for on this truck. so i ordered some fittings, lines, and went at it. so back down to tearing it down again to the frame... the 5 gallon tank that came with the air ride kit was too long to work where we needed it to. so we went with a shorter fatter 5 gallon tank, and also relocated the valves to a better maintaned spot. once all the hard parts were located i went to fabbing up the 3/8 ss airlines. the air tank mounting brackets were removed, and the tank was clocked and moved back, then the mounts welded back on. this was done to clear the cab and bed....since down to the frame, now is a good time to fab up the brake lines as well...

beautiful work as usual!!

[dnd1978]

looks great. I like your tubing bender.

[FRENCHBLUE72]

What bender is that???? Killer ****in work as always..

[67cheby]

would you be interested in building lines for anyone else ?? i am only an hour and a half away and have been looking to someone to do all my lines, if you are interested let me know thanks Mike

[mcbassin]

Nice work on the hard line Don. I like the bender too. It looks like a nice tool to have in my collection......details? What's the plan for the frame coating? paint or powder coat?

[68 short step]

thanks everyone...the bender is a well built (actually metal, imagion that these days) 3/8 tube bender, imperial is the brand.. the actual 'bend' of the tube is a smooth process, since it has 2 ballbarring rollers that actuall 'roll' on the tube as it bends, rather then the typical 'friction' type benders....the other part of the equaison is the flareing tool, ss isnt the easiest to flare... so i bought the mastercool hydralic flaring tool (with 37* dies too, for AN style ftngs)
as far as making hardlines for someone else, id be instrested, but need to orginize that around my current builds going on...

[67cheby]

um....i think i have plenty time, give me a shout and let me know if you could get me in somewhere in the next few months, thanks mike
