Just thought I would show my crew cab build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

496 chevy · 12-07-2009, 01:54 AM

Here is the begining stages of the crew cab build I will post some more as I get some time. I shaved all the emblems, body seems, cab lights, did some custom touches to the interior, and made it into a single wheel no longer a dually. Soon to be cummins powered cant wait for it to be done I will keep you all posted.

496 chevy · 12-08-2009, 01:50 AM

Heres some more on the crew cab build. Here you can see me shaving all the seems welding in the holes in the roof from cab lights, preping the cab for primer, and paint.

496 chevy · 12-08-2009, 01:58 AM

here is the steel goodmark cowl induction hood being prepped and painted. the bed being prepped and painted.

it only has 8 inches in those pics. it now has ten.

496 chevy · 12-08-2009, 11:08 PM

Here are some pics of spraying the bed liner on in the bed. Gotta love ebay I got a $600-$700 bed liner for about two hundered after all said and done.

496 chevy · 12-08-2009, 11:15 PM

rubberized sound deadener. I would greatly recommend using sound deadener another ebay purchase. You may notice the white face gauges back lit with blue leds those are an overlay kit from ebay also only like thirty dollars and worth every penny.

1985-GMC · 12-08-2009, 11:21 PM

Man that truck looks sweet. What brand bed liner is that it looks really nice?

496 chevy · 12-08-2009, 11:21 PM

heres some more interior work.

496 chevy · 12-08-2009, 11:27 PM

more interior pics insulated the roof and installed a center counsole on the ceiling from a suburban.

496 chevy · 12-08-2009, 11:39 PM

this is how she looks now and how it all started. You can see in the pics where I am installing the new lift and 496 bbc.

496 chevy · 12-08-2009, 11:42 PM

and here is what she looked like as a dually when I finished installing the 8" lift and 36" swampers.

toomanytoyz · 12-08-2009, 11:57 PM

Very Nice Build, Can u tell me a little more about the bedliner kit? Ease of installation, a ebay link?? Quality of kit?

Thanks, Rick

STOCKISH · 12-08-2009, 11:57 PM

LINEREXTREEME IS THE BRAND. THE SELLER ON EBAY IS TRKSPECIALIST.
tHE ONLY THING I CAN ADD ON TO IT IS I WOULD RECOMMEND THE LARGER GUN IT TAKES ALOT OF AIR TO SPRAY THE HEAVY CRUMB AS SEEN ON MY BED. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION AND COMMENTS.

i would say the best thing about this build is my 25 year old buddy and my self at twenty six have done everything except recovering the seats and headliner.

deepnsteep · 04-04-2010, 12:45 AM

Any updates on this bad truck?!

496 chevy · 04-06-2010, 12:12 PM

I have been busy with work but I now have the corporate 14 with disc brakes under the rear the cummins is mocked up and just fixed the killer dowel pin. I will get some new pics up soon. thanks for the interest.

496 chevy · 05-11-2010, 12:54 AM

Here are some recent pictures. showing some frame mods for the cummins and the custom exhaust. I started it this last weekend. it is getting close now. need to finish the gauge pillar pod and some drive lines then it will move again. woo hoo!!!

okieraptor · 05-11-2010, 03:07 AM

What year cummins is that? Looks very sweet man keep up the good work.

SBTork · 05-11-2010, 03:09 AM

very cool project. How was the install of the "fat mat" insulation? I ask because I just removed my sagging headliner board from my '85 Suburban and have been thinking of using that stuff as a headliner for a while. Any input?
