well i guess the best way to tell you where it is is to tell you it about a hour west of Binghamton. other than that i not sure how to explain it.

well truthfully i did the stockglass chop top just to see if i could. plus i guess to make the truck look lower as well. after doing the chop and putting the truck back together to see what it look like i decided to section the bed. the truck was way to long looking after doing the chop, but after the sectioning was done it all look good. well the plan is to have it at some shows this year so hopefully i will see you there if not before

thanks for the props

[getto]

no doubt, on a different note i am the manager of an autoglass shop so holla at me if you got any questions about the glass part of your build anything i can help u with i will im stoked for u to get this thing out for the 08 season, and i mapquested you 212 miles away so i guess iwont be coming to see your truck anytime soon but maybe if you need help with some glass work it would give me an excuse to make that fvcxkin trekk out to corning and check you out

[slammed89n92s10]

yes, the stock windshield and side glass will be used. i only had to modify the back window. that is the nice thing about doing a stock glass chop, but i will tell you that there is a lot of fitting and make sure that everything work and seal out when closed

[jaywilson001]

Here's what you do, think about what the absolute longest amount of time that it would take you to do it.... the multiply that by 5 or so. Sounds like an exaggeration? Probably not, these projects take lots of time to do them RIGHT.

yep or just don't give yourself a deadline and just make sure that things are done right and the way you want them to be!!!! because in the end it is your truck and you have to be happy with it!!!

[bdydrp18]

well i finally have some updates not that there are that much. as you all know i plan on putting a corvette IRS in the truck. well i started to work on that and here is a little of the progress that i have made.

87 rear


diff. before i started cutting


after 2 days of cutting and grinding



well i trying to do something with my time

[Draggin97]

looks like a good start man!

[tuckn22]

i hope you get some power in the garage before to long. i would like to see this truck done before it go up in flames. in the back ground of the last pic posted,look at all the extention cords running out of that one power feed. i dont think OSHA would like that to much!!

[bdydrp18]

haha you like that!!! you well one is running to a light and the other is running to a stereo and then just the grinder and a sawsall. well as soon as i can dig a ditch from the house to the garage it will have REALLY power!!

[bdydrp18]

well sense the weather is getting closer and closer to warming up i started to get the truck ready to get its new frame and rear-end

truck back-up on the table




got the bed and cab off

[draggns10]

Does that rear end have the same width of the stock S-10??

[bdydrp18]

Quote: Originally Posted by draggns10

no the vette rear-end is a lot wider then stock. i will have to have the half shafts shortened, but i'm not sure yet how much because i plan to run an 18" x 10" deep dish in the back.

[91rebuilts10]

fvckin sweet, it makes me giddy knowing that progress is approaching for this beast

thanks

[Disturbed R.I.]

i love this truck.....so many kool mods. keep us updated bro. awsome job

[91rebuilts10]

i think it was already asked, but are you making the bed rails flat again, or are you leaving them raised over the wheels?

[bdydrp18]

Quote: Originally Posted by 91rebuilts10

yes i'm going to be building a whole new bed. as of right now the bed is cut up and in the scrap pile. i just need to get some new bed sides and start it from scratch because the old bed was just to cut up to do anything with. i cut out my tailgate and roll-pan skin out and threw the rest in the junk pile. probable will not have a bed for a while but if i can get the frame done and the cab and front end i will be make a lot of progress.

[91rebuilts10]

any possibilities of going with a widened step side bed?

[bdydrp18]

Quote: Originally Posted by 91rebuilts10

no!! not really a look that i like. i have seen some guys on here with it but i just don't think that is would look on my truck. just going to go with a normal bed side that is section like it was before and all sheet metal on the inside of the bed. hopefully it will turn out like i have it planned

[getto]

whats up bro been a min since i checked in, progress lookin good, i got my motor back together and cab muded in the tubs and puttin it back together, i have to go to binghamton in june so i might try to link up with u and check out the truck! ill keep u in the lop as i find out more but im gonna come outy to check it out. and do you still need a bed?

[bdydrp18]

yeah it is starting to make a little progress now. i getting ready to order my steel for the frame and hopefully that well only take a couple days to come in. just need to let the ground thaw and i will get the new electric services and i will be all set.

i really just need the bed side not the whole bed, but i guess if i can find one cheap enough i would buy the whole thing.

yeah just let me know when you find something out. we can work something out

[bdydrp18]

got a little more work done. got the motor pull and put away.





hopefully i can get my tubing order soon and start getting some really work done
