Looking forward to it! Maybe not sell the chassis until your plan comes to together? |

Not too much going on with the truck, but I decided to pick up something to help me out along the way with the project.

Here are some nice billet specialties I thought about buying but could not bring myself to. They are just a short 250 miles away! Nice project. Along for the ride. |

Spent a great deal of time uncrating the chassis. Good thing it was all screwed together.
Out of the crate and ready to go inside. Attachment 1409281 Attachment 1409282 Attachment 1409283 Attachment 1409286 Need to make room, so I had to move the other two trucks outside for a bit. Great on a nice sunny day. :metal: Attachment 1409288 |

I know it's been a little while, but I seemed to have a snafu with my chassis. When laying out the bed, it turned out that rear kick up over the axle was too high causing interference with the location of the bed wood. You can see by the pictures that the wood floor would interfere with the frame.

More pictures of the interference between the bed wood and frame.

Re: Project "Buffalo Blizzard Surprise" 71 SWB build
After discussing this with Justin at Scott's Hotrods, they decided to build me a totally new chassis. They found that the kick up over the rear end was off, and would be too hard to modify it. Since then they built the new chassis and I now have it. I'm beginning my new layout of the bed, cab and front clip. More pictures and details forthcoming.

Re: Project "Buffalo Blizzard Surprise" 71 SWB build
At least they owned the mistake and made it right.
How long did you have to put the build on hold? |
Re: Project "Buffalo Blizzard Surprise" 71 SWB build
Yep, glad they backed up their product!
|
Re: Project "Buffalo Blizzard Surprise" 71 SWB build
Looking forward to seeing more your project.

Sorry I've been slacking on my updates. The new chassis was completed and ready for pickup. I picked it up at the terminal. Once home I was able to get cab set up on it. Unfortunately the new chassis build set me back by more than half a year.

Worked on cab and bed layout to make sure no interference problems this time. So far so good. I'm installing a wood bed on this build, so I wanted to make sure there was no problem with any of the new cross sills.
