I've put some serious thought into doing a truck like this.

I enjoy your posts!

Great project Chris. I really liked the first one, and wanted to smack your face for selling it!

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-10-2009, 01:07 PM

Haha i smacked myself!

And seth, that sounds great but wont have all that! It will probably end up with ladder bars n coil overs all round. I just want a fun, fairly quick to mess around in take it to the strip sometimes.

And the coys will prolly be 12-13" wide. I havent figured that far into it

90blueS10 · 02-10-2009, 01:08 PM

is this thing done?

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-10-2009, 05:33 PM

Well i went to kore3.com and printed out templates of the c5 and c6 calipers/rotor to check fitment. And it doesnt look like c6 brakes will even b close to fitting. Thats disapointing. Looks like ill just buy another pair of calipers, rotors etc and have the same brake setup on both trucks.

I was gonna do that with the truck i am stuck on right now, but was afraid of the ridicule I would suffer haha.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-11-2009, 12:16 AM

who cares what other people think! do whatcha want!

if i did what people wanted me to my blazer would be laying frame! screw them!!!! haahahaha

Twisted Minis · 02-11-2009, 01:39 AM

That's basically my plan for my F100. Race type chassis under an old body, with an old looking exterior.

Kenny_Cox · 02-11-2009, 02:07 AM

my blazer will be going under the knife again here real soon. tired of people backing out of deals. so, i will become a poor minitrucker and get it done, get it done the way it was intended to be done. my next project with go for the pro touring styling.

this one is a good candidate, i will be watching now that i am on this forum again.

bwhitfield24 · 02-13-2009, 10:27 PM

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-13-2009, 11:04 PM

hopefully itll be in the garage this weekend. if so i want to get the factory motor/tranny pulled. after that, i will just do a little rust repair on the floor maybe. pretty much whatever i can do without spending money im gonna do.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-16-2009, 11:55 PM

took some more stuff off the firewall, and took out pretty much all wiring from dash. i left some wires coming off the brake light switch, out of the column, off wiper motor. not sure what im gonna need/want to use to tie into the new harness. also took apart an extra door and took all the parts out of it in case i need anything.

wet stuff is coolant from heater core

mmm

back of truck and front of his car are the same, look how short his is

JMew03 · 02-17-2009, 12:03 AM

thanks. and yeah, ive been looking at pics of how people patch big areas of the floor that dont buy patch panels. i dont want it looking shitty. even though itll have carpet. we will see how it turns out. wonder how itd look to cut out both front floor boards, and have them all flat, or if my dad still has the bead roller, do that to help strengthen it and look better.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-19-2009, 12:27 AM

took windshield out and started repairing rust.. my first time doing anything like this.. so hopefully itll turn out nice. ill grind down the welds tomorrow then add in the last piece. (the piece sitting there isnt going to be used, i just sat it in there.) i will make 2 of the same pieces and hopefully have it look factory

90blueS10 · 02-19-2009, 12:59 AM
