hell yeah sounds like fun. you are in for alot of work and by time you get done you are going to have alot of money invested into it. this life style isnt cheap but make sure you shop around for the best price but dont compromise quality. the worst thing you could do is buy cheap ass products. be sure to send me the link to your thread when you start.

mylostsoul · 10-08-2009, 08:29 PM

ive done it before , just when kids came along it was time to leave for a while, and now the kids are older and i will be more able to afford it , but the body drop wont happen if i dont have a garage to do it in and a non level driveway, unless someone can tell my fat ass how to bodydrop on an unlevel surface lol ... i usually only shopped at SD

and i agree i wont make you guys wait anymore here are a few pics and updates that im going to post in about 10 mins this should keep you busy at least for the rest of the day.

layinlow_agrid · 10-08-2009, 10:38 PM

horns droped and tacked into place!

and then just the begining of the box build. the bed floor is raised up and tacked into place but will only be temperary as i am doing a all custom 1x1 square tube frame and sheetmetal.

and some of what i had layin around from work in progrees of the cab tubs and finishing up the inside of the cab. i will post more of these later too.

and the third brake light welds were gruound down and fiberglassed still needs to be sanded and primed.

there you go let me know what you think.........

dontxtrust · 10-08-2009, 10:52 PM

i like it, i like it a lot, the bed looks great i heard from a lotta people that the bed is harder than the cab, never understood why it looks pretty simple lol, i cant wait to start on my bd, waiting on some money so i can buy new rocker panels and cab corners, then my bd starts!! woohoo lol

well i dont think its any harder but then again i just started getting into it too. but mine is going to be all custom anyways so i really dont care how shitty the inside of the box looks right now. you'll see what i mean as i go on with this build, and good luck to you on your future bd.

Oldskool94 · 10-09-2009, 01:16 AM

Looks really good man im glad to see we have some MI guys on the forum.

lol yeah your a funny guy. i wish it was done lol, but then again its almost winter now so i guess there wouldnt be much of a point to rush it now. but anyways i hoping that it will be done or at least drivable by spring. we will see though gotta have cash and time to spare to get it to that point. lately i have had the time but not the cash. but it will get there. just a mater of when. but, im not going to rush it. quality comes with time research and patients. actually i think i might head out to the garage now and throw a few hours at it.

you welcome. and i think that the shaved look of a sheet metal bed just looks so much better. and i also think you should fab up another one of them crossmember c-notch bars and send it my way so i have somthing to conect my 4-link bars to lol. i really need to get around to making one of those though. i am going with a six link that i am building myself. i dont like the bag over axle i dont know why i just dont.

I really cant wait until you start the sheet metal bed, thats another plan of mine ... I am planning to go with bags over axle, all my stuff is going to bed under the bed except the batter and it will be in a battery box that i can take the top off of that is made out of sheet metal, but the battery will also be in a plastic box...keep it up dude

mylostsoul · 10-09-2009, 04:56 PM

on another note ... the way you Michigan guys like to help each other out ... I wish I lived up there ... My wife is from the Village of Caro (it is literally called that lol) it is about 30 miles outside of Flint ... nice place ... I got to visit, not in a way I wanted to but I did and it was beautiful ... I saw enough snow to last me a lifetime!

yup yup,the shittiest thing about michigan. F**Kin snow. I hate it. but other than that. I love the people. my friends and family is what keeps me here. if it wasnt for them i'd be in miami again.

layinlow_agrid · 10-09-2009, 06:06 PM

ok i was in the garage for about 1 hour and 15 mins and i got my tail light fillers welled in and finished up the rest of the drivers side filler plates between the tubs and what was already done above the tranny hump on the firewall. now all that is left cab wise is to finish the passengers side and then seam seal it, then scuff and paint. as for the box i plan to start on that in a few days. maybe a week i have to go to work and have them order my tubing for me. and then ill start when the tube gets deliverd. so im guessing a week to a week and half tops and then you will see lots of progress on the box.

ill post pics of the progress later tonight or tomorrow morningish.

mylostsoul · 10-09-2009, 07:27 PM

where did you get the fillers from

Looks good dude keep it up! lol yeah your a funny guy. i wish it was done lol, but then again its almost winter now so i guess there wouldnt be much of a point to rush it now. but anyways i hoping that it will be done or at least drivable by spring. we will see though gotta have cash and time to spare to get it to that point. lately i have had the time but not the cash. but it will get there. just a mater of when. but, im not going to rush it. quality comes with time research and patients. actually i think i might head out to the garage now and throw a few hours at it.

I really cant wait until you start the sheet metal bed, thats another plan of mine ... I am planning to go with bags over axle, all my stuff is going to bed under the bed except the batter and it will be in a battery box that i can take the top off of that is made out of sheet metal, but the battery will also be in a plastic box...keep it up dude
