Project ~ stock floored on 22s

lowdime96 · 02-08-2007, 06:00 PM

Well I had a nice thread going in the body droppin it section before the major website crash and I have been too lazy to get a new one going until now. This project started the 1st of October 2006. Here is what she used to look like before the tear down...

lowdime96 · 02-08-2007, 06:14 PM

So, then I started the tear down at a shop about 20 minutes from my house... very nice shop.

Then I started the frame rails, which are constructed out of 2x3 1/4" thick

Added some kick ass sd arms

Then I got down to da biznich

passenger side frame rail to be finished at later date....

cipherex · 02-08-2007, 06:16 PM

Nice start!!!

lowdime96 · 02-08-2007, 06:25 PM

now the drivers side rail...

rat's nest!!!
http://northeastsyndicate.com/module...%20044.jpg

Frame rails pretty much done...

lowdime96 · 02-08-2007, 06:28 PM

now for the tranny x member....

lowdime96 · 02-08-2007, 06:32 PM

I then decided to bring my truck home and user my mothers garage so that i can work on it more often. I do miss the heat, lighting, and the lifts at the shop, but oh well.

I picked up some of my own tools, included a lincoln weld pak 175 hd. ****ing badass welder.

http://northeastsyndicate.com/module...%20059.jpg

My first project for the new welder... make an exhaust tunnel.

lowdime96 · 02-08-2007, 06:55 PM

Next i went ahead and finished up the frame rails.... look much better now. I also laid new beads on everything since this welder is much more powerful.

lowdime96 · 02-08-2007, 07:07 PM

now for my crazy exhaust system. I decided to run my exhaust like this rahter than right under the tranny so that i won't drag my exhaust all up. this setup i built has over 1" of clearance in the lowest spot. This setup also allows for the maxium floor space, sense the cat is farther back....

http://northeastsyndicate.com/module...%20085.jpg

After that was all done, i painted everything up nice nice...
(obviously i used exhaust paint for the exhaust)

lowdime96 · 02-08-2007, 07:17 PM

For some reason... this stupid forum won't let me post up my first pics!! i delete the first one and then it won't show the second one? idk its betarded

Next we put the cab on mother****ers!!!!!! This is big tom (on the left) and me (on the right)
http://northeastsyndicate.com/module...%20090.jpg

Now in these pics the front cab mounts still need to be dropped (still pretty dang low)

and now these are of it laying on 2x4's.... finally got the bitch to lay body!!! I was pretty happy that the rear body mounts are the perfect height, and the mounts themselfs were perfectly alligned so the bolts went right in. I am kinda pissed that i had to cut so much of the floor though!

DrptS10 · 02-08-2007, 07:50 PM

sweet ride man, great work

aquaxtreme · 02-08-2007, 07:55 PM

lowdime96 · 02-08-2007, 08:03 PM

or these, zenetti throwback 22x8.5

Hopefully I will be ordering the wheels in just a few more weeks if everything works out as planned.

twelvam · 02-08-2007, 08:13 PM

looks sweet man............i was wondering about this thread the other day.......

Draggin97 · 02-08-2007, 08:22 PM

good progress man, i was wondering also where this thread was. So are you using the 2/4's to level the frame to the cab????

NCHEVYHEVN · 02-08-2007, 08:28 PM

Looks really good. I like those Zenetti throwbacks. How much are those gonna run you?

The back of the cab is already done, its only there to support the front section, the ones in the back are just to keep everything level. Still not sure if i'm going to use it when i tack everything together yet... The pieces seam pretty uniform...

$1800 shipped w/o tires. It will cost me something like $2500 for the throwbacks w/tires.
