Stock Floor Attempt

Kool_Blu_Zoo · 07-26-2005, 07:53 AM

So I've spent the last 10 months of my life in Laramie @ Wyotech, learning all kinds of fun stuff about cars and trucks, I'm finally in the chassis fabrication course and my project was going to be a stock floor body-drop on my 96 Isuzu Hombre. Well, when I told my instructors, they looked at me like a deer in the headlights, even the coordinator of the class said that he had never seen it done, thus they won't let me do it cause they don't know how it's done (not like I do either, but thats the reason I came out here). N-e-wayz, they said I can back-halve it, my question is should I waste my time, I'm already fully bagged, I just want to lay body and keep as much room as possible, I'm pretty tall for a minitruck.

... A Wyotech professor has never heard of a stock floor body drop?

that must be the laramie instrctors. i just graduated from blairsville in march and they heard of it. they even let a few people do it, they didn't care what you did, just as long as it left there in a safe condition

thats gay. check out some of the project builds one here, figure out what you need to do, and teach your teachers a thing or too. dont waste your time with a backhalf if you want to stockfloor it anyways.

yeah thats pretty sad tell them u want to build a tube frame for your truck maybe they will understand that.

Ok, well, here's the newest kink in the chain. Wyotech works on a points system that confuses everyone, but basically I missed some time in class and now I can't bring my truck in the shop. They said I could build a back-halve still, I think it will be alot more difficult without the truck though. My question is -> can I build a back-halve with longer rails that connect to my original frame, just long enough so that when I put my truck together it will be stock-floored, or would it be impossible without the truck to mount it 2? Thanks 4 the help guys and ya, I'm at the Laramie campus, middle of nowhere let me tell ya!

yeah that would work... just measure real well and you should be able to tie it into front part of your frame (firewall forward)
