You in the Sac area? I could get a few guys together to help.

[quote=hotrodhomi;3124660]I would not flip my tub on the side to lay it down, mattress or not. especially without welding some braces in there to keep it straight. What are you trying to do? QUOTE]

big thanks 2 u homi but im in southern california.

i want to be able to clean the underbody easier standing instead of laying on a creeper, very uncomfortable, to me it doesnt seem like it would take on any damage what do you guys thing will flex or get damaged?

another question is how hard is it to just take the bed sides apart??

Hey, that looks awsome. Good job. But I wouldn't celebrate until I had it put back together.

OARNGESI · 02-06-2009, 09:09 PM

Hey careful you dont it want to fall over on you

toplesskayfiver · 02-08-2009, 07:08 AM

i know i got it all tied up to the framing ffo the walls and currentl working on building a couple of arms for the body roller to flip it and hopefully make it alott f*%$#@% safer

Big J · 02-08-2009, 09:39 AM

Not wrong really just leaning toward not damaging a nice tub or getting hurt in the process. Thats a lot of weight on that beside, matress or not. Just be cautious.

toplesskayfiver · 02-09-2009, 03:10 AM

i present to you "the blazer flipper"

Big J · 02-09-2009, 03:38 PM

Good job! That is the way to get it done. Ya got one fine lookin' flipper right there.

71jimmy · 02-09-2009, 03:46 PM

Simple and functional. How bout some details, what you used, how long it took to make etc.

VA72C10 · 03-11-2009, 03:22 AM

Great work so far...good inspiration for me to one day tackle a 4wd to 2wd conversion.

VA72C10 · 03-23-2009, 12:20 PM

the body roller was already made. it took 2 days to build the flipping arms between 2 guys, it wouldve be nice to have used some thicker metal square tubing, but it holds up just fine! once i put the frame back under the body tub this roller/flipper might be out for grabs???$$$$????

OARNGESI · 10-14-2009, 08:57 PM

Any progress

Sorry if I haven't been replying.. but u just signed back into my profile again.. need to figure out why chevy ls 5.3 2007 truck engine starts but shuts off?? Just finished swap and cranks perfectly

gringoloco · 11-27-2013, 12:53 AM

VATS- Vehicle Anti-Theft System. It will allow it to start, but not run. Must be programmed out of the PCM.

toplesskayfiver · 11-29-2013, 07:35 PM

Cool thanks. What we were thinking too. Going to have to get it flashed / programmed correct!? Lt1.com a good place to send the computer to?
