Chopped and bagged 64' short bed build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

4x4fab · 02-10-2011, 10:32 PM

I guess it's time I started a build thread. What i'm working with is a pretty solid 64.
The chop is already done and 95% fInished. I have been driving the truck for about a year as is.

I tore into it about a month ago and got the frame on the chassis table to start the frame work. The notch is almost fInished up and ive started some frame bracing.
Ill be fabbing a 4 link, running either my own version of a dropmember or buyin one from nate, and layin frame on 22's. I'm gonna stiffin the frame and probably run discs out back.
Motor is a mildly built 350/350 turbo

Criticism is always welcome

You can't post about a cool chopped top truck with a modified frame and suspension without posting pics.

4x4fab · 02-11-2011, 07:22 AM

Lol, as soon as I posted that I had computer issues. I will try to post pics today. Actually I didn't think the thread even posted.

This is the truck, before I tore into it. It is chopped, and running a static drop with cut springs, not a nice ride.

4x4fab · 02-11-2011, 08:28 AM

Another pic of it.

4x4fab · 02-11-2011, 08:34 AM

I'm skipping a lot of pics because I don't have them available at the moment, so we'll start here. These pics were takin last night.

4x4fab · 02-11-2011, 08:37 AM

I am hoping to get some different wheels, if there is enough $ left in my wallet. I'd like to get 22" centerline smoothies.

Alright so goodguys columbus is early July.... That's cutting it close. I really hope to have it ready, we'll see.
I'm hoping make a fiberglass mold for a headliner while the cab can be turned upside down on the rotesserie...... Anyone wanna help? I don't have much fiberglass experience.

Had just a couple hours to work on the truck yesterday. Started prepping the motor to get it ready for paint. I think I will color match it with the body, and I don't know what color that will be yet!!!

I also sectioned 1 1/8" out of the frame to bring the front bumper in closer.

Italia · 02-14-2011, 08:30 PM

nice ride bro....

Delmo · 02-14-2011, 10:03 PM

Cool chop man.

cadillacguy · 02-15-2011, 12:45 AM

4x4fab- what do you think of the gear drive? Nice truck btw

4x4fab · 02-15-2011, 07:24 AM

Well it sounds really cool, lol. It's simple, and I like it better than a chain.
