OK its like this there is this guy with a truck in a barn somewhere. Well this guy we will call him Justin was looking for a tilt steering column because his truck is so ****ing low you cant shift without a tilt wheel. Well this guy named poncho knew that the truck was being built and knew that he needed a column plus Justin has a friend named Travis that has a three link that poncho needs for a frame, and Travis has to come up to pick up seats from a guy that lives by poncho named lee. so poncho was thinking that if he had a tilt column in his junk pile that Travis could take it to lee, no wait Justin. but then Kris busted in with his shit and there is a guy named Bryan involved and all that shit. you strait now?

thenephilm · 02-19-2009, 08:07 PM

right lol...

Tuckin15's · 02-19-2009, 08:27 PM

ummm ok haha

***Dragginbody*** · 02-20-2009, 12:54 AM

but u forgot the part that bryan cant read.

thenephilm · 02-23-2009, 12:14 AM

got the f150 steering joint and it worked great...but my steering won't clear the control arm so now i need another joint grr...i did get a greddy oil pan though for the motor...got it for 150 bux thx to craigslist...normally cost 400 lol..new pics are coming after tues when my friend goes down to work on his bronco again...id go but i have class all week...lame..

scottymizt · 02-23-2009, 07:19 AM

if you need another steering joint i can prolly help you there, we have a bunch of parts trucks out behind our shop i can see what is lying around

thenephilm · 02-23-2009, 07:31 AM

i need a 3/4 round to 3/4 round weld on....if you have that, I would be very happy lol

scottymizt · 02-23-2009, 08:17 AM

is that what is stock on the f series ford trucks? I have a steering colum with the joint that was cut off, i can get a pic for you today. If you can use it just pay for shipping and you can have it

thenephilm · 02-23-2009, 04:46 PM

i really just need an aftermarket one...i the ford works great for attaching to the s10 column but i need it for a third joint..its cool though...

scottymizt · 02-23-2009, 06:10 PM

shit i forgot!!! i will at least get u a pic tomorrow, i'll dig the steering wheel out of the storage container and get u a pic ill measure it while im at it.

thenephilm · 02-23-2009, 06:17 PM

its cool...I just ordered everything to finish my steering and my fancy tie rod ends....good rod ends are not cheap by the way lol...the one for my wishbone(which i havent applied yet) cost me 75 bux...ouch..

thenephilm · 02-25-2009, 10:22 PM

widened wheel tubs..obviously just tacked in for now...I dont like doing a lot welding around the motor, rims and tires, etc...once cab is pulled everything will be fully welded of course..

started patching in where the wheel tubs went into the old side vents...what a pita...

got the back of this all welded up along with fixing the big gap that i had back there from my slight miscalculation lol..

you can also see the new column too there and the hole in the firewall where it will go once the rest of my steering stuff is here..

thenephilm · 03-09-2009, 07:43 PM

got some stuff done...steering in...just set the doghouse on there and woot...looking sexy..

Derek1387 · 03-09-2009, 10:10 PM

dude... this thing is drop dead gorgeous....

thenephilm · 03-09-2009, 10:18 PM

thank you sir..i was going to run a pedal set up out of a 240...but ive decided to make my own custom one off pedal assembly...after i reinforce the steering brace (steering column mount is basically temporary using a modified factory piece) im going to start on the pedals..oh, and my head will finally be back from the machine shop thank god lol...i cant wait to see it..rest of my gaskets have been ordered too so motor can go together this weekend as well

...

chevy power · 03-09-2009, 10:22 PM

Lots of sheetmetal work. It all looks nice

scottymizt · 03-10-2009, 08:29 AM

that looks sick man!!! rhd is the shit

got me thinking about a skyline dash now

You prolly already answered this but how u gonna do the gear box for rhd?

thenephilm · 03-10-2009, 08:37 AM

i actually ditched the gear box and the steering rack and swapped in a manual rack and pinion from a geo metro lol...all I had to do was flip it over and mount it...sounds easier than it was to do because mounting it was a bitch...room was at a premium due to the front sump so I kind wish that the mounts were fancier but their just wasnt much room to do anything else..in that last pic i posted, you can see the boots for it through the core support..

thenephilm · 03-10-2009, 08:38 AM

if you can find an old mail jeep, i know that you can just swap in that gear box and shit as well...I know there is one in a junk yard by me fo sho..

scottymizt · 03-10-2009, 10:04 AM

lol way to resource

i could prolly get a steering rack from a skyline or something but for now im happy lhd

If i do make it rhd im gonna swap on a whole skyline front clip

Is the engine under that cover?

thenephilm · 03-10-2009, 01:50 PM

the old engine is that has been used for mockup for now...new motor comes together this weekend hopefully

s15travis · 03-10-2009, 01:56 PM

i like it...the turbines look pretty damn sexy on there.

thenephilm · 03-10-2009, 02:14 PM

id be lying if i wasnt a fan of them on the vehicle lol..

Close2theground · 03-10-2009, 02:28 PM

DAMN thats low, looks amazing man !!

blazed00 · 03-10-2009, 03:11 PM

damn this is a apretty badass build

thenephilm · 03-10-2009, 07:37 PM

thanks guys..

FCKNLOW · 03-10-2009, 07:40 PM

thats sick as shit....i wanna see this thing outside!

Tuckin15's · 03-10-2009, 08:44 PM

thats some sweet shit!

thenephilm · 03-10-2009, 10:25 PM

haha it hasnt been outside since like 2007 lol...i want to see it out there too but its not comin out until the frame is all done and painted...im bringing it to a local show on april 18th and the goal is too have the frame done and painted, motor assembled and painted, and cab fully welded and rhinolined inside and underneath..have a lot to do but its getting there..

***droppedss*** · 03-11-2009, 09:13 AM

wheres this thing at? PM me, I'd like to come check it out, take a shitload of pics and give ya a hand man! PM me

bad ass build.

thenephilm · 03-14-2009, 01:40 AM

so today was a day of ups and downs...

1.The ups-My engine gaskets and oil pan all came...bung was welded on fuel cell...and i got a new lincoln 180 from lowes for 250 bux because they must have marked the price wrong

2. The Downs...went to the machine shop and one of my cam shafts was magically broken and no one knows how it happened...however, because i didnt get them out of the box when i brought them i cant argue that they werent because i didnt show them to him first...although i swear i looked at them when i got them

...so a new one is on the way...

...and i made the supports for my steering column...and im building an entire pedal assembly from scratch now...yay..

thenephilm · 03-15-2009, 03:22 PM

just ordered my booster and master cylinder from ebay...and my clutch master cylinder so i can get to work on these pedals this weekend...yay...i feel like its finally coming together..

thenephilm · 03-15-2009, 03:27 PM

btw, its absurd how little room i have to mount all this shit lol...

as you can see in the highlighted area haha..

thenephilm · 03-17-2009, 03:02 PM

it is 70 degrees and im stuck in school on a laptop writing a ****ing book review that has to be long as shit...jesus christ...ive got boxes of shiny parts that need to be applied to a vehicle..i think im dying lol..

well give them to me! i can use them lol. my swap is killing me, all of this little crap is coming up now. my floor IS FULL of NEW parts... $1200 worth, and they are just sitting there

your truck is gonna be ill man

thenephilm · 03-17-2009, 03:33 PM

ive got so much to do that its absolutely killing me to sit here...and i keep making more work for myself lol which isnt necessarily a bad thing...it will only add to the list of things that ive done like the new pedal assembly that im making...i just want to get it done dammit lol..and the little stuff will kill you cause it usually takes time...but it will be worth it in the end..mine has been down for over 3 years now so i feel your pain believe me lol..

thenephilm · 03-17-2009, 03:34 PM

oh and thank again on the truck...my plan was to have a truck that just makes you go wow...i feel that its going that way..

***Dragginbody*** · 03-22-2009, 05:47 PM

is it done yet?

**sadexcuse4s10** · 03-22-2009, 08:56 PM

wow

very nice man, makes my truck look bone stock like it came off the lot.

thenephilm · 03-22-2009, 10:01 PM

I really shouldnt anticipate anything ever being normal on this truck lol...i cant even put my 7" booster and master on the firewall cause there just isnt room even if i recess it, which would have to be at least 4"...so now everything is going under the dash...it will look nice but dammit lol..

**sadexcuse4s10** · 03-23-2009, 12:11 AM

wilwood makes a super nice manual brake setup with separate master cylinders for front/rear/clutch

thenephilm · 03-23-2009, 07:32 AM

i was going to run a manual brake setup...but then i decided that with all of the metal i have in this thing plus 400hp and disc brakes all around that having power brakes isn't a bad choice lol..

s15travis · 03-23-2009, 10:29 AM

i finally got down to the shop sunday to check this bitch out. definitely looks good.
