dam man thanks. you know that bad thing is that everything i know i learned work on this truck

draggns10 · 09-23-2007, 11:49 AM

Same here. I didn't know how to weld when i started my truck, now i'm doing a full floor and firewall

Independent · 09-25-2007, 07:57 PM

Wow, I am highly impressed. Great job man

AreaOne · 09-25-2007, 08:09 PM

Right on man, your truck and your work is bad ass. I really appreciate the fact that you are doing some different stuff with your truck. Keep up updated on it, it looks sick!

bdydrp18 · 09-26-2007, 12:45 PM

Thanks i guess that i just like to see if i can do it. With an s-10 it is hard to be one of a kind with out pushing the envelop a little. i just hope that it look as good in metal as it does in my mind.

83blazerlaynframe · 09-26-2007, 06:48 PM

holy hell man. you went beyond the ordinary for sure with that one..

what will you tell someone when they mention your truck being a "single cab, short bed"

lol this is like school bus short

well i think it is shorter than a short. just have top tell them the truth i guess

bdydrp18 · 09-28-2007, 10:03 AM

some more pics for ya.

had to put the truck back together and move it. parents sold their house and i lose my shop. but that is ok because we're building a garage at my house and it should be all done by the end of October. then it's back to work on her again.

got_u_sick · 09-28-2007, 10:32 AM

Looks pretty amazing, cant wait to see more!

jman · 09-28-2007, 10:25 PM

does the bed arch up over the wheelwells or are my eyes playing tricks on me.

Draggin97 · 09-28-2007, 10:51 PM

nice man, I am diggin the front end mods I have been wanting to do a fullsize bumper for awhile but the whole welding the bumper to the fenders and the fenders to the core support is just awesome looking!

i like the look of a longer bed but i can see how that is a little excessive with a 8" bodydrop. man 8" that is ridulous.

AreaOne · 09-30-2007, 09:08 AM

This may be a pretty stupid question but the table that truck is sitting on, it is made totally of wood? I can only see wood, so I am curious to know if there are any metal reinforcements on the under side. My next stupid question is how are you gonna get the truck off of said table? Will the truck be torn back down and final assembled on the floor?

The truck is sick man, and you certainly have a nice project going! Good luck with it!

yes it does. it is something i did when the bed was full length and i was going to try and run 20"s. but after doing the section and thing it just looks like sh!t so i'm going to run 18"s and put the bed back to normal.

yep it is all wood and lots of it 2 X 6 and 4 x 4. there is no metal in the whole table just the truck sitting on it. the truck is already off the table. i just torn it down to the frame and motor and wheeled it off, then put it back together to go on the trailer.

you dont really have to know anyone, just go to a carshow you know is covered by a magazine, or magazines. if you do your truck right and show up with it painted and running theres no way they would pass you up for a cookie cutter s10 with bags and a bodydrop.

rockinguitar876 · 10-04-2007, 10:38 PM

looks cool so what are u doing with the bed??

well that total but there are a lot of nice dimes out there

. but hopefully you are right. it would the Ultimate Honor to be on the cover or to get a feacher(sp) in MT or any other mag of that matter.

well it was sectioned and tubed for 20's but it looks like sh!t after the section

so now i'm going to cut the skin off it and just junk the rest of it and start over with new bed side

i wouldnt do that. i would cut out the section of the bed rail that sticks up and make a new flat top rail and run 18s like you were saying. then either reskin the inside of the bed or finish enclosing it. when the bed floor is solid one piece it amazing the difference it will make in the overall bed stability. dont give up on it yet.

dman311w · 10-05-2007, 09:08 AM

Wow. Work looks great. I'm getting tired just reading through this thread.

it is easier to just start over on it. it would take my less time to build a whole new bed than to fix the tube i put in. plus it is better for the finish product. less seems and cracks to worry about down the road. an i'm only using bed side not a whole new bed. with the plan i have in mind for the bed it would a big waste to cut up a new bed. basically it is going to be 100% CUSTOM BUILD

kevdog · 10-06-2007, 08:48 AM

Awesome project man! Gonna look killer once finished.

syclonekid43 · 10-08-2007, 12:04 AM

thats just insane. awesome work. cant wait to see it all done

bdydrp18 · 10-16-2007, 02:53 PM
