lowdime96 · 04-11-2007, 12:48 AM

i've been doing all the bitch work like welding up the firewall and the floor. i will have some pics when i have something worth posting. i'm hoping to finished the cab within a few weeks so that i can take it off and finish up the firewall and underneith the cab, then comes the final assembly.

s1043 · 04-11-2007, 04:07 PM

~~carney725~~ · 04-11-2007, 05:56 PM

yea man i think everyone is lookin for an update and some pics...

twelvam · 04-15-2007, 12:24 PM

so what's up?????? still doing the same thing?

laydoutjimmy · 04-15-2007, 07:02 PM

any progress with the sway bar on 22's yet?

lowdime96 · 04-15-2007, 08:27 PM

i'll see if i can get some progress pics for you guys soon. i haven't started working w/ the sway bar and 22's but i'm sure i can make it work. I got a nice zq8 sway bar for it too.

lowdime96 · 04-16-2007, 11:37 PM

Well i just ordered about $700 worth of parts today.

480 dual pack, stainless 5 gal, some switches, bag brackets, re8's for the rear, and some other nice goodies. I also already have some brand new 3/8" smc valves. I want to finish all the major fabrication by the end of this month, then start finishing the truck in may.

drps10 · 04-16-2007, 11:49 PM

good to hear.. i wana do the same for mine.. im ordeing parts now.. so when I get home.. i have alot to work on with no excusses

got_u_sick · 04-17-2007, 10:04 AM

Sounds awsome man, cant wait to see more on it. Keep it up.

Draggin97 · 04-18-2007, 06:55 PM

cool ideas man, are you planning on changing the stock mounting locations of the sway bar?? Mine bends the endlinks now and i only have 18's, i have played around with the length of the bolts and spacers to minimize it but the suspension arc still kills the bushings.

blazerida88 · 04-18-2007, 09:20 PM

dude, ur truck is sick, this is really makin me wanna stockfloor mine and go with just 20's

laydoutjimmy · 04-18-2007, 09:25 PM

20's are for sissy's hahahah j/k

When you start messin with the sway bar make sure you post some pics..... As im gonna be doin the same.... i drove my truck for like 2 years with no sway bar and it ****in sucked.... i want 22's rockerd with sway bar front and back and shocks all the way around

lowdime96 · 04-18-2007, 11:12 PM

yeah i'm switching to FB, so i need a swaybar now... also it is a zq8 swaybar i got off my buddy. So far the bar is bolted in upside-down. i have been looking at it lifted and laid out and i'm going to have to cut a small portion on the sides of the frame where the swaybar bends. Once i do that, the swaybar will have nice long links to the control arms and the sway bar will sit just barely above the tierod bracket on the spindle for turning clearance. Then i simply have to make some basic tabs for the control arms.

UPDATE:
today I relocated the brake booster over 1 1/4". now i wil have plenty of clearance. I have the whole cab finished minus a few hours of welding. I'm hoping to get this cab off very soon to spray underneith and the firewall.

cain · 04-19-2007, 02:57 AM

I'm in southington all the time bro hit me up sometime i wouldn't mind checking this thing out..

4.3Xtreme · 04-19-2007, 03:49 AM

Awesome truck and amazing work! I'll deff be keeping up with this one! Can't wait to see it finished! Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

scrubz · 04-19-2007, 01:30 PM

just read the entire thread. That truck has come a long way. I am liking those COYS alot now. definetly a good looking wheel.

anyway I hope you get this done soon man this build up is sick

lowdime96 · 04-19-2007, 04:01 PM

thats for the comments everyone.

lowdime96 · 04-21-2007, 12:15 AM

UPDATE: Some ****ing pics this time! yippie
moved the brake booster over 1 1/4"
before:

cut the mounting plate out:

Mounting plate and tubs welded in:

tub is perfectly curved to the tires on my 22's (22's obviously not pictured)

booster bolted up now with much more clearance:

My new clutch pedal setup in the works:

the floor pretty much done:

kinda dark but you can see how i raised the floor for the stock tank. seat still slides all the way back!!

lowdime96 · 04-21-2007, 12:16 AM

gotta love stock floors....

here is a sample of how much lift i get in the front:

BIGGERISBETTER · 04-21-2007, 12:26 AM

drps10 · 04-21-2007, 01:40 AM

Draggin97 · 04-21-2007, 11:36 AM

layinbody31 · 04-22-2007, 12:22 PM

looks good man

I found a solution to keeping your swaybar with big wheels and it requires relatively no major fab work

lowdime96 · 04-22-2007, 01:27 PM

please tell... you and your secrets haha

layinbody31 · 04-22-2007, 01:42 PM
