Marv not yet but maybe later!

But a pro mod or altered isn't using Google a stock C channel frame rail. Again, not bashing or trying to argue. Just something I thought about when I saw the pictures.

A little progress.

68Timber · 04-13-2016, 09:04 PM

No bed floor? Were you running one before you started the rebuild? Looking good. That rear end looks like a hoss.

Not bed floor then or now. It will have a bed cover. I upgraded to a fabbed housing and I am replacing the 35 spline axles with 40 spline gun drilled Mosers.

djracer · 04-14-2016, 09:33 PM

I have wanted these for a long time!

**Palf70Step** · 04-15-2016, 05:07 AM

Those are some really good looking wheels.

djracer · 04-15-2016, 06:38 AM

Thanks Bill

**Hart_Rod** · 04-15-2016, 07:41 AM

Nice progress Kevin!

WE B CRUZN · 04-26-2016, 08:29 PM

Talk about a long thread had to stop for lunch and dinner breaks LOL looking real good can't wait to see her done.

djracer · 04-27-2016, 07:04 AM

I need a couple of weeks of work.

**regan wilson** · 04-28-2016, 08:15 AM

Those wheels are going to look sexy on there Kevin. Get to work and get us some pics

djracer · 05-06-2016, 11:12 AM

Finally got around to working on it a bit. I have most of my stuff but I need a bunch of time to get it together.

djracer · 05-06-2016, 11:14 AM

One more if it will load

djracer · 05-15-2016, 09:59 AM

Somemore new goodies.

watahyahknow · 05-15-2016, 02:08 PM

have been looking intoo those truckarms from hotrods to hell before , they look nice , think they made them for a few other cars and trucks too
did they use I beams and added stiffeningplates to them made them from U profile welded against eachother like the originals or constructed the arms from flat steel ?
allso curious if they added stiffeningplates to both sides
(i'm guessing yes , as the arms should be mirror images of eachother )

its actually hard to see welds on the inside edge of the parts where there no stiffeningplates welded in and cant see the top and bottom edge of the arm so i cant be sure
cant realy see wat they did at the hingepoint either , looks like a bushing with rubber wall pressed inside thickwall pipe welded intoo the beam and it looks like they bended the stiffeningplate up so it welds to the outside edge of the pipe to make it stronger

could you make some closer pictures from both ends of those arms?

djracer · 05-15-2016, 06:07 PM

More pics for yall

watahyahknow · 05-15-2016, 08:31 PM

thanks man

tinydb84 · 05-15-2016, 10:30 PM

Those look very cool.

djracer · 05-16-2016, 12:38 AM

Thanks Guys. Steve at Hot Rods to Hell is real nice. I look forward to beating on these real hard real soon. The are plated on both sides and some on top and bottom.

57sailplane · 08-20-2016, 09:01 AM

so,

any progress. wondering about the one piece side glass still, have you messed with it at all..

prostreet1967 · 11-01-2016, 10:21 PM

prostreet1967 · 11-12-2016, 11:52 PM

hey dj is bed still mounting to cab? what supports rear bedsides its covered in the last few pics. with no tubs or floors how nasty does everything get under bed cover

djracer · 12-31-2016, 04:04 PM

Yes bed still mounted to cab. Rear gate is a skin as well and it has a custom mount to hold roll pan, tailgate skin and rear bedsides. It does get a decent amount of rubber in it. I may do some metal or carbon fiber at some point.
