The seats are out of like a 2002-2005 Wide track GP. The seats were pretty easy to fab brakets for except the rear of the drivers side. The track is not steal, so I had to bolt a bracket to it, then to the floor.

Does anyone have any Ideas for a center cousel in my truck, should I make one or find something in the bone yard that will look good?

You might try this since you have metal working skills:

I like the look of it, but I would need something else to go with it, just not sure what.

Ridin Dirty · 10-29-2009, 12:27 AM

You need a break from yours. Come work on mine! Hahaha

aford78 · 10-30-2009, 11:39 AM

I was over to your house a couple weeks ago and we didn't get anything done. Maybe next time.

aford78 · 10-30-2009, 11:43 AM

Last night my brother and I worked on the gas tank that I didn't know I had on the shelf. Here are a few pic of the build.

Also why is this cross memeber not square to the frame????

0331grunt · 10-30-2009, 11:59 AM

Looking good.. wish I had stuff just "sitting on the shelf"

mcbassin · 10-30-2009, 12:19 PM

The tank mounting brackets look good! Just wondering if you are going to have sufficient ground clearence?

I'm not sure why GM did this? I noticed when my son and I started cleaning his frame too. here:

Keep up the fast work!

aford78 · 10-30-2009, 05:17 PM

I actually got my wife out in the barn today to do some sanding on the fuel cell.

aford78 · 10-30-2009, 05:24 PM

So I have been removing parts and changing parts on the truck so I have a few things that are for sale.

Gas tank behind the seat...........great condition
new rear bumper w/ brackets
new rear licence plate bracket

I don't know what the value is on these parts, but shoot me a # and we will go from there.

Towstrap · 11-01-2009, 11:00 PM

looking good ill stop by later

aford78 · 11-01-2009, 11:48 PM

I got a little done tonight on the truck, started by removing the rear axle and cleaning the gunk off of it and making 1 1/4" lowering blocks for the rear, just for now, I still want to get an air bag setup. I will be removing the stock fuel tank tommarow.

aford78 · 11-03-2009, 04:29 AM

Tonight I got the body taken off and put the rear end back under the frame. Lots of work to be done to the frame now that I can see it. As well as the cab. I ordered new cab supports the other day, so hopefully I can get them on soon. Its starting to get cold out and I want to get this thing painted before snow flys.

0331grunt · 11-03-2009, 08:15 AM

Making progress! Looks good!

aford78 · 11-05-2009, 01:13 AM

Tonight I finished cleaning up the frame and got it painted. I also rolled the cab on its back to get ready for the cancer surgery on the bottom.

cable666guy · 11-05-2009, 03:53 AM

Nice progress!! The end caps and roll pan look really nice. Great work space,too!! I know a bunch of us are jealous!! lol!!

aford78 · 11-06-2009, 03:51 AM

Thank you for the posts, but I am jealous of most of the people on here, because they have bottomless pockets and unlimited warm weather. Its starting to get cold here. I have a 100,000 btu furnace in the barn, but its not insulated yet.

I havent been working on the truck in a couple day because I am finishing off my basement so my brother and his wife can move in. (someone to help work on the truck!!!!!) But I will get to work on it this weekend.

I also got a box from LMC, new cab mounts and lots of bolts for the box and fenders.

Towstrap · 11-06-2009, 10:15 AM

if you need a hand you can always call me up adam, mama does let me come out to play lol

aford78 · 11-08-2009, 04:13 AM

Well towstrap, I will be out in the barn on sunday if you want to come out and give a hand, I would appreciate it!!!

**Palf70Step** · 11-08-2009, 09:32 AM

Very interesting read. You have some very good skills and love the way the truck is coming out.

aford78 · 11-08-2009, 07:26 PM

Thank you for the comments!!!

Today I got the bottom of the cab scraped and replaced all four cab supports. It worked out pretty good except for the bolt holes didn't line up very well. I only have a few more spots to cut out and replace and the bottom is done.

aford78 · 11-09-2009, 02:59 AM

I got the bottom of the cab finished.

And the frame wants it's body back!!!

aford78 · 11-09-2009, 03:01 AM

I also found this pic of me and my bogger.

mcbassin · 11-09-2009, 09:51 AM

Cool picture! Looks like you had someone pull in front of you on the "trail".
