Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

haha sounds like it will turn out pretty sweet. mine is pretty rusty body wise, but the pan is pretty good, not perfect (a little in battery tray area and up front where the body bolts to the pan on the underside of the napoleon hat area), but considering how rusty the body is ( all 4 wheel wells, front fire wall, heater channels, front spare tire well area, and a little in the door bottoms, and a few other small places) im really suprised the pan not just as bad lol.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Seems like it would be much stronger if you welded it all the way around the top and on the inside, instead if the tabs. I think a lot strenght comes from tieing that box into the orginial arm. I know it's kinda hard to weld the inside. Just a thought. Every time I look at your pictures I want a new camera. Never mind. I looked closer and it looks like you did weld it.Da

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

You may want to drill a hole in each corner of your cups to allow for water drainage.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

more updates

finished painting everything



tucked away nice and neat
i have about 1/4 inch clearance on all sides of the bags through the hole range of the control arm movement







yaaa!!!! looking alot better




air


no air!!!

doesnt get as low as the dropmember trucks.. but it does go higher!!!! thats a big plus living in Oklahoma with are crappy roads

threw the front end on to c where i need to trim the fenderwells


the more i look at this the more im thinking about not painting the engine bay.. i think it will look badass with a chromed out motor and nice painted frame against the nasty engine bay!!!


the tires are lifting the front a lil bit... no bolts in the front.. its gonna come back off for me to trim and fill some holes on the firewall






came this far might as well throw on the bumper and check it out... im thinking bout lowering the bumper bout an inch or so.. need to get the figure out whats gonna look best








stay tuned!!!! more ill **** coming soon!!! :m etal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

things to get one next:

pull bed off and do the frame work for the raised bed floor and make my adjustable solid bed mounts

pull from clip back off to trim the fenderwells
cut end of the frame off and lower it to lower the bumper
shave a few holes in the firewall
run my new brake lines and fuel line
then reinstall the front clip
shave down the tires to make the white walls bigger
then it will be time to finish the motor
