Very nice.. I think you really nailed the proportions.... can't wait to see the fenders on... I ended up with 36 Chevy Master fenders in FG that I felt had a similar flow to my front fenders....
More progress, Lance Rice and the crew at Rice Performance have the bed running boards roughed out. https://duallyproz.com/ milled the 16.5" rear rims to accept 16" tires. The aggressive Interco rear tires have been replaced with a highway style tread to better match the fronts. Next steps include lengthening the rear fenders, boxing the running boards. Paint is getting closer.
getting really close now, I spent a lot of time trying to get the stance correct, I'm happy with it details (tail light bolts are going to be replaced with ****on heads)
So what's the rest of the combo ... ch***is year and make, engine/trans and what are you doing for steering mech.
I bought it this way; Ch***is is a late 80s Chevrolet 3/4 ton van (G30). 350 SBC engine and Turbo 400 trans. Steering box looks to be a GM unit mounted vertically? Wheelbase was 133" it's now 118" The bed is a 9' custom build from https://pros-pick.com/ in Arthur, Ontario Andy
That's the ch***is I've been seriously contemplating solely for the purpose of simplified steering. The ch***is is the same width in front as the original COE frame and the steering box is in an ideal spot. How about engine fit - does it fit in the doghouse ??
Do you know if that ch***is has been narrowed at all? I'm concerned the front track would been too wide.
