bodydroppin the sonoma

FCKNLOW · 07-29-2007, 01:38 PM

the bumper and stuf lines up perfect.....

FCKNLOW · 08-22-2007, 04:14 PM

updates finally.....im pulling the cab off so i can seam seal and undercoat the bottom of the cab and fix the drug thru frame(possibly box it) ect...pulling the pos 2.8 out and mocking up the 327. i plan on having it at droptoberfest under construction.

few pics of how she sits, havent worked on it in about a month....

the bed doest quite line up....

engine bay...the firewall will be completly shaved once that stupid ass 2.8 is pulled...

FCKNLOW · 08-22-2007, 04:16 PM

this is all you will see in the bed....its gonna lay on bigger wheels so the bag brackets need raised and i might have to do different wheeltubs....

dshznit91 · 08-22-2007, 09:31 PM

nice i love the long bed 1st gen. what wheel combo do you plan

FCKNLOW · 08-23-2007, 12:27 AM

18/20 if i an afford it....most likely only 18s for now though....id like to do kp lift bars but i dont think the bags would clear the airtank

FCKNLOW · 08-27-2007, 01:05 PM

dont think i posted this pic yet of under the bed done. il prolly add another viair 450 also....

FCKNLOW · 08-27-2007, 01:06 PM

today i plan on getting the front end off and the bed, and preparing to get the cab off the frame...

got_u_sick · 08-28-2007, 01:34 PM

Glad to see you back at it again man! The rear setup is lookin good. Cant wait to see this thing on the road, I wanna see it at some shows. Keep up the good work.

FCKNLOW · 08-28-2007, 03:25 PM

thanks man.....i met a buncha guys at Low Rollers tis weekend and they got me motivated to do work...cab is coming off tonight...

FCKNLOW · 08-28-2007, 07:02 PM

heres an update....

wirrrey21 · 08-28-2007, 10:22 PM

nice job. gonna be a sick truck when it's done!!!!

FCKNLOW · 08-28-2007, 10:32 PM

i changed my mind....the rear will be setup for 22's and 20's in the front

got_u_sick · 08-29-2007, 02:13 PM

Sawweett. Keep it up

lownfast · 09-02-2007, 01:21 PM

how well do those g body arms work? do have to mod the lowers to use them? seems like a killer deal

Wicked Mayhem · 09-02-2007, 05:44 PM

look good knob gobblin.

FCKNLOW · 09-06-2007, 11:03 PM

got the motor out of the frame....next is to start boxing the frame.....

pics....

buddy justin(whobewa) working hard....

my dad, yes he helps with the madness...

got_u_sick · 09-11-2007, 10:08 AM

Uh ohz. Lookin good man, keep the pics rollin.

FCKNLOW · 11-07-2007, 05:16 PM

Well guys..... First off, this thing isnt dead yet!!...I just lost motivation and a working computer there for a while, but im back at it now. I had it down to a bare frame so i can start cleaning it up for paint. Im changing the air setup again also. The 8 gallon will be taken out and replaced with a 5gallon, and the viair 450 will be mounted inside hte frame, and the valves will be remote mounted to the frame. There was no good place besides inside the bed for a gastank/fuel cell, this setup will give me space to pur a fuel cell behind the air tank. The 3link is out, and im putting a 4link, bags on bars in it, fvck that over axle bullshit, i want to untuck tire. the two 4link bars i bought used, need to cut the bag plates off and move them...

current state of the truck-front mocked up (gbodyparts.com uppers, ART strongarms lowers, on a 27-1/2" tall tire) so i can mark for the tie rod notches.

heres a few current pics...

let me know what you think.....

blazerida88 · 11-07-2007, 06:50 PM

lookin damn good man

Wicked Mayhem · 11-07-2007, 11:51 PM

looks sweeet. i want a space to be able to work on stuff

did you have to tilt the frame sideways to get that thing into the garage? Holy hell, small opening there...

stodd16 · 11-08-2007, 02:55 PM

wait now you have 2 trucks in the same torn apart state?

FCKNLOW · 11-12-2007, 03:09 PM

not really.....the s10 is my dads project now.....im building the noma, and possibly a diesel luv if the deal works out. then keeping the xtreme as a daily.

FCKNLOW · 11-15-2007, 11:25 AM

Small Update......I got the new rear axle inside and under the frame so I can start setting up the 4 link. The bagplates on the bars need cut off and moved....heres a few pics...

it looks like something kinda....

FCKNLOW · 11-16-2007, 03:41 PM

Not much of an update but i got the compressor mounted and the tank ready to be mounted. Cleaned up and got all my fittings and shit together to be sure im ready to plumb it....

FCKNLOW · 11-25-2007, 03:04 PM
