Damn... Looks pretty good!

*72CSTC5* · 07-29-2006, 02:41 AM

Hey that looks good. Did you cut it down to a shortbed?

Bob Moore · 07-29-2006, 01:43 PM

That is seriously low!

Where in Washington are you?

dwcsr · 07-29-2006, 01:51 PM

I like the long bars . It should ride great

PBFAB.COM · 07-29-2006, 02:37 PM

Nice work! The project definitely has the right name!

FnLow69 · 07-29-2006, 03:57 PM

thank guys I still got a loooong ways to go...hope to be done by next summer

hey bob moore, I live in Gig Harbor.

hey 72cstc5, Yes i shorted the frame to a stock shortbed wheel base

matthufham · 07-29-2006, 06:48 PM

i was going to say that original backhalf certainly doens't look very strong, but then it was modified. the new version should hold up better and be less reliable on good welds. the old one would have self destructed if a weld broke.

**N2TRUX** · 07-29-2006, 07:54 PM

That looks killer regardless of your age. Props for being a good fabricator at 20. You owe a lot of thanks to who ever taught you the trade...

Congrats On The Great Work .....

FnLow69 · 09-06-2006, 12:49 AM

thanks again guys... progress has been good got the tranny tunnel/driveshaft notch 1/2 done should be done this week. I'll post pics when its done.

Madiron- as for the old backhalf its long gone sorry.

Jimmydean- the balkhalf idea was inspiared from XXL's and valleycustoms backhalf/frame, as well as i was going for a simple/clean look, yet some thing that looks good and was strong.

higgiec10 · 09-08-2006, 12:32 PM

hey nice truck do you have some pic,s of the Z' 3" and how much did you cut of the bottom of the frame. to make it lay out .thanks

FnLow69 · 09-09-2006, 02:21 AM

thanks ill try and get some pic up this sunday. i didnt cut the bottom of the frame just dropped the body mount 1".

hotrodhomi · 09-09-2006, 02:51 AM

What are you going to do with the dash?

leftcoast66 · 09-09-2006, 03:13 AM

gorgeous work, I love the backhalf, wish I had the time to do that. I'm 18 and gonna notch my truck at thanksgiving wen I'm home from skool. Already built everything else and got full airbags. Definately encouraging to see people about my age doing kick ass jobs at home, cuz no way in hell is a shop gonna do something that I could learn 2 do...
