Fireman will this truck be on the trails before Brutus?

 

[Fireman]

Ain't no telling!

 

[Domek]

hurry your ass up sir!

At least my 40 moves on it's own!

it ain't purdy and it has never meant to be purdy, but it works!

...That I beat the crap out of it and it breaks it's a different thing!

some day it'll be done and purdy!

Got to work some on it yesteday.

Ran some condiut down the bed side to run the electrical in later on:

Trimmed some more out of the rear fenderwells to keep it even lower.

Started boxing in the rear floor and the fender tubs:

Decided to flex it out to check the rear fenders:

And then stuck Devin's wife Tammy under it to show how high its flexing!

Later on we got the backs for rear seats put in , reinstalled the rear seats and worked more on getting ready to put the actual fender wells in. Pretty productive day!!!

Careful with those tires. They might be dry rotted by now.

 

[KOWBOY]

Great pics.

 

[Fireman]

Here are some of the pics. These are of how we filled in for the rear fender wells. Now we have to skin out the parts that cover the rear shock hoops inside the passenger compartment.

And some of the storage pockets that Devin came up with for misc stuff, they will have doors with min paddle latches on them. There will be some more in about the same position as the ones on the stock interior for the girls to stash their junk/cokes.

 

[Bodean]

I see some dry rot on those tires!

I can see it now...David and Kownoy's rigs will be done just in time to drive their a$$es to the retirement home.

 

[Fireman]

Haters!

 

[lenross1]

Haters!

Takes too much effort to hate... Now typing...not so much ; )

Can't wait to see em on the trails..in my lifetime.

Have some other pics somewhere showing the internal baffles. The bottom was supposed to be 3/16" plate but it came back from the bender as 1/4" instead. The sides, baffles and top are all made of 12 ga. It's solid but I shouldn't be able to tear it up. The fuel pump flange from the factory tank of off a 88 Chevy TBI van was reinforced and welded in.


All tacked up with the filler neck and pump flange welded up

Welded up and leak tested. Had 2 tiny pinholes.

Used the factory fuel pump setup and sending unit from an 88 Chevy van with TBI.

Mocked up in place. The ride heighth will be about 2 1/2" higher. This is at full stuff.

Top view where the access panel and filler door will be

... but I shouldn't be able to tear it up ...

To those of us that have actu'ly seen you drive a lil' ... that's really funny sir.

Nevertheless ... tell Devin to keep up the good work!

 

[Fireman]

Got back from Roundup at K2 and was a little motivated. We got a little bit done on the skinning out the interior and getting ready to box the rear fenders in.

The seat backs/front of the rear fender wells welded in. The center piece will be cut out after the fender wells are done to allow more storage area with the rear seats folded down:

Also skinned out some places that will be up inside the fender wells. Going to use some good seam sealer that is paintable:

All of the areas that are being coated with undercoating and/or primed to prevent rust and provide a little sound deadening.

Maybe Clutchee can hook ya up!

Great pics ... keep 'em comin' Brother.
