have seen dodge diesels been build intoo chevy trucks before and from wat i hear those cummins dieselengines outlast the dodge pickup frames by a mile

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Yes a lot of my friends transplant this Diesel powerplant into Chevy trucks, i might just do that myself someday!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

We picked up a new piece of equipment that will hopefully help take us to the next level.....once i figure out how to use it! LOL

She was a beast to get unloaded by myself but i got it and got her inside which inspired a complete cleaning/re organizing of the shop.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

good reason to get a enginehoist or a overhead crane inside the shop to be able to move those big pieces around and get them off the trailer in the first place
seen the machine being used on old episodes of american hot rod , they did made tools for it themselves but could do a lot of stuff from beadrolling realy wide beads till making louvers

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Well the New frame is here from GSI Machine and Fab and it is AMAZING! I can wait to start working on it!

And of course those lightning bolt wheels who wouldn't love those! LOL, jk these are my junk rollers

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Sexy!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Good choice on the GSIM chassis. I'll be picking up their backhalf for my truck soon.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Very nice!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

I really liked the overall look at quality of work that those guys do for the chassis. Great choice!

That Pullmax will be a game changer for you!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

i think so also!
sweet
gracias
it is exceptional! I cant wait to start using it, i need to rob a bank first so i can buy some dies for it......pretty expensive!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

That frame is so nice! That pullmax is nice too! Now you have a good donor engine so the next sema build should be a crew cab dually. :lol:

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Nice frame! I wish I had the space to do a full frame swap.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

How about a few updates on Cloud 9.5. I have been working on running all the 3 inch Flowmaster stainless exhaust, using Deeds Eng billet exhaust hangers, we also got the Currie 9 inch in with 35 spline axles, Wave Trac locker, 3:50 gears (since we are going 5 speed this time) I test fit the cab on that beautiful GSI Chassis this weekend! I also stripped all the wiring out of the cab to do it over and do it right this time....I did it myself last time and this time I am getting help, we will be using the new Painless Pro-Series wiring and my friend Brock will be in charge!

Are u going to have to change your bed floor with new chassis.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Yes i believe i will have to, i plan on test fitting the bed this week

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

I could not get away from drive line vibration with my old two piece so i decided on this go around i would do whatever it takes to go to a 1 Piece (QA1 carbon fiber) driveshaft......so i started cutting and bending metal....heres where we are at

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Looking good Mike! Been following on IG. Looks like you've been busy these last few months.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Thank you, we are finally picking up a little steam!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

I test fit my mock up engine and TK0 600 5speed, and set the LSA blower on....its going to fill up that engine compartment very nice!
I went through several sets of headers trying to find some that fit, these are from Ultimate Headers and man are they SICK they sent them to me tacked together so we could test fit them then i will send them back and get them finish welded and fully polished...they look like jewelry when they are polished out!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Nice looking stuff...Jim

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

I picked up a couple new tools off of Craigslist this week to add to the arsenal....i am slowly building my shop with a lot of the metal tools that i have always wanted.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

Thanks Jim!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
 

I started a kind of step by step install of the Altman Easy Latches from Trique Mfg, i was so sick of slamming my doors, i cant wait to get these finished up!
Very easy and detailed directions for the install. I couldnt finish this up just yet i need the truck off of the lift to easier access the door jamb.
