Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
looking good so far man, i really like that you are doing this all for cheap!
im on a budget build too, so seeing what you can do for so little $$$ is inspiring. one Q... im going to BD my 92 ext. cab as well (when i feel confident enough), and was wondering why you cut out a channel in the cab for the frame? |

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
It looks good with the wheels. I will probably regret selling them once I start driving my truck and I have to keep it locked up so I can turn.

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
you know thats gonna start some shit drew lol!!!!
the holes in the floor are cus its a stock floor body drop and that part of the floor when you lay rocker, the frame is higher than the floor so the frame comes through the cab about 1/2 of an inch thanks again for the wheels chris.. my girl breanna didnt like em at first but when i put them on she said they look good. les shwab is crackin down so shawn said i have to pay but he only charged me for balancing lol Last edited by dava flav : 02-13-2009 at 10:23 PM. |

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
got the bed structure almost done. i just need to add more bracing to the floor area to strengthen it. the bedsides are all supported super strong. i hate flimsy bedsides.got the roll pan started. gotta take the skin off the old gate and put it on my gate and shave the slant box. i narrowed the front of the bed to match the back pillar cuz it slants in. its not the ideal way to do it but i just want the lines to match up. so yeah the truck is slightly narrower right there but it looks better imo. and a lot easier than pie cutting the pillar and pulling it out to match the bed lol.
gonna start on the cab floor tomm. hopefully ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() also picked up a 91-93 coresupport so i can run this badboy ![]() |

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
serioulsy thats all you have to say
so the bed i think is gonna turn out pretty sweet. my goal is to get it as close to possible to thenotch. but the frames on these curve up towards the notch. so infront of the notch the last little section has a 10* pitch upwards mostly to clear the gas tank crossmember and it clears by a 1/16th of an inch lol. and the little 8" section behind the notch has a 5* pitch upward. and its still a foot deep bed in a mini truck so thats pretty good. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
doesnt look any different.
but i did get all the cab mounting and core support mounts done. used four link bar ends. 3" ones on the core support and back cab and 2" ones in the front cab area. got the bed structure all done and leveled with the cab. jsut need to get some tubs and get those in then its ready for sheetmetal. also picked up a late model vortec 4.3 motor for 250 bucks. the whole thing even the injection which i dont need. all teh brackets and acc. has a spun rod bearing on #2. got a 2 piece shaft. just need the th350 so i can get this all mocked up. also just got off the phone with matt at baja customs and ordered thier set of motormounts and plates fully unwelded so i can lower the motor accordingly |

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
well you convinced ne to do my first 1st gen. ive done 2 newer ones but i am makin the change this time. 1 question tho, even tho i cant belive how little youve spent on the build why didnt you fab up your own link kit? thats the only cost cutter i cant get past. other than that, thanks for doing good enough work for me to learn from. *subscribes

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
this build has been a budget build i got that 6 link used for 450 shipped to my door. art arms for 300 all the bags for like 150 everything you see including motor and tranny valves gauges comp tanks and i still have less than 3 grand total int he truck complete im even talking about the actual cab and frame and shit and yes i have a title.
i was actally gonna ditch teh 6 link. i even bought a tri 4 link setup. but i had already welded all the mounts and gastank x member on and the rear frame already has bag ounts and tank mounts which would be in the way for a fuel cell so i said **** it. i dont like the 6 link it pulls my wheels about 1 1/2 inches forward the last 3 inches of lift. but i never drive more than 2 inches off the ground anyway lol so i kept it to save time mainly. it was gonna tak a lot of time to take that kit off and put a new setup on. the 450 dollars it cost to buy the 6 link is the same amount for a good bag on bar tri four link. actually more if you figure in the cost to run a fuel cell Last edited by dava flav : 03-23-2009 at 12:51 AM. |

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
got the bed pieces all fitted today. the bottoms of front and back are all one piece even up the wall and around the square bars. caps on the ends as well to give it a more complete look and its nicer because i dont have to weld the edges down. ill take more pics when i start to weld it all in and itwill give you a better idea of what im saying.
