tom hand · 09-22-2002, 10:25 PM

WOW that looks like it going to be sweet. The wheel tubs made from factory parts really look good.

flyin99 · 09-22-2002, 10:27 PM

Thanks and here is a closer one of the gas filler

lotik · 09-22-2002, 10:32 PM

are you running a fuel cell? if so, what kind, how mch, and did that fuel door come with it?

flyin99 · 09-22-2002, 10:37 PM

well, it is a homemade fuel cell look alike.......just a tank.......made from stainless and powder coated red.......uses a factory sending unit, just modified the length of it to compensate the difference in depth and added a neck to the top of the tank............The filler is from Air Ride Technologies...........tank is 20 gallons FYI

>X< · 09-22-2002, 10:38 PM

sweeeeet, i like that motor(remember you said that we had most of the same parts)

**Bowtie468** · 09-22-2002, 11:23 PM

flyin99 , I sent you a PM

70 Jimmy · 09-22-2002, 11:44 PM

Nice work! Curious though, what made you decide on the wheel well for filler placement? How did you clear the tires? Looks great and unique too. I love it!

sam's 72 · 09-23-2002, 02:14 AM

You did good! I really like the truck. What kind of tires are you running on it. When I get ready to buy my wheels I am going to go with Drag lite's, also would like to know what size wheels you have?
Sam

flyin99 · 09-23-2002, 11:15 AM

Thanks guys..........my rear wheels are 15x12 with a 4 inch b/s............the gas filler clears the tires by a good 2 or 3 inches..........I just wanted to put it in the bed somewhere and figured it would be easier to replace a tub, than a bed bottom, if need be..................

One word says it all . . . WOW!

70c10 · 09-23-2002, 12:46 PM

Brad,
Your truck is Killer!, what mods did you have to make to fit the wheels under there?

Crank · 09-23-2002, 04:19 PM

Flyin99, Gawd, those are huge tubs. Where are you at in KY? Maybe I can drop by and see it sometime. The paint on your cab is NIIICE, also, do you plan to get rid of the trim holes? Good luck and SWEET TRUCK.

SWEET & SHARP gonna be a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!

minibike · 09-23-2002, 09:07 PM

Nice truck. That is a good idea on the filler. I was wondering where to bring mine out, and that is a good idea.

chevy lover · 09-23-2002, 09:13 PM

I got a question flyin99. The wheel wells look wider than stock. If the are how did you accomplish this? Did you narrow the rear also? and how much?
I ask cause I was concidering this but wanted to keep the look of the stock ww.

flyin99 · 09-23-2002, 09:18 PM

I took 2 stock wheel tubs.......cut the bedside mounting edge off of one and the inside part off the other one and welded them togethor, then filled the seem with dynoglass...............hope this clears it up some

Brad

chevy lover · 09-23-2002, 09:22 PM

**breeh** · 09-23-2002, 11:37 PM

flyin99 · 09-24-2002, 04:58 PM

Thanks again guys...........actually I have turned the key on it....hehe...........if it runs like it sounds....I better keep some extra hanes in the glove box, cause it will probably scare the **** out of me!!!...........LOL
