Looking good, Roy!
I like the column mount. What steering setup are you going to use?

 

Hi Martin...

I am using the 525 box.... just waiting for my pitman arm... then on it goes.... You must be driving the wheels off your truck these days... I cant wait for that ...

Roy

 

sorting out the tailgate and box again today.... and where my tank is going to go.... my new motto.... slow and steady .... again....

Roy








I am going to have the bottom curve up from behind the tire... to where the tailgate begins... and put a rolled pan in there...

 

sorting out my steering .. location.,.and angles..... still playing with my grill and body angles as well...

 

My buddy Mike came over today.. so we mocked the engine and trans in... figured out the mounts.. and steering... and a few other things... its coming together... slowly....but more or less how it was planned....

sure are having a great time... I am hooked for sure..... thanx to this site for all the help... its a wealth of amazing information... and of course the people... wow.... thanx again....

Roy

 

look'in good man,keep-on-truck'in...........

 

thanx Gary..... I appreciate the support...

Roy

 

This is an awesome build thread Roy. I read threw it a couple days ago & really enjoyed all the info you've offered here. Thanks..

 

Thanx Desert Rat... the positive comments keep us going... hope you enjoy ... more to come...

Roy

 

That's looking good Roy, keep up the good work! This is going to be one cool truck.

 

Thanx Farmer.... thats some amazing work your doing there.....love your build....

Roy

 

knottty, love the proportions of your build. is it too much to ask what the wheel base is and the lenght of your bed? getting the proportions right on these trucks is hard and i think you nailed it!

 

thanx Shockley

I took a lot of time looking at pictures of trucks i liked... even measured the pictures for the proportions.. I think I got it ok... for me anyways..lol.....

my wheel base is 114 inches..... the box is 52 inches long... 30 inch tall tire... and 10 inches in front of the tire..... and 12 inches behind the tire....

the cab is chopped 5 inches.... no channel... hope this helps you out...

Roy

 

wow thank you, not many guys are eager to volunteer that info. i have been racking my brain on every pic. i see of fenderless trucks i like because its so hard to get them right. and the ones i liked didnt have full side shots to measure. thanks for the information i will be following your build.
shockley...

 

your welcome shockley..... glad I could be of some assistance....

 

well back to work on the truck.....I have been doing some other things lately... around the house.. my Lady broke her foot... wow... its been a real pain for her.. I have been doing as much as I can for her in my spare time...

got my grill and rad figured out tonight....i like the angle and proportion of it all.. I have put a lot of thought and research into the proportions.... seems to be working..

motor and trans mounts are complete... and working well.... got my pinion and engine angles bang on.. as per hamb.....lol.... next is the pedals.. and clutch to figure out... I am thinking ill be making my own...Ansen style pedals...well hope you enjoy ....have a great day....

Roy

Roy
