Nice work the body and interior came out awesome, motor is holding up this time with no problems.

check the pacific region there are a couple of trails runs coming up if you want to go flex it out and get some pics. I would also like to see it in person so hopefully you can make one of the runs.

Well heres a couple new pictures. Finally got the least amount of dirt on the tires. Went out on a couple back roads to check out how the truck handles and ended up driving a 4 hour road trp in the truck. Everything was dependable, just a couple rattles and my damn tranny is leaking. So I gotta get that sealed up before I go on my road trip to oregon at the end of next month. Didnt really find any places to flex the truck out just a couple dirt road in the middle of the country.

All I can say is you do awesome work my friend. anyone can do a project like that, but it takes skill to make it look like a factory option like yours does.

 

[noJeepshere]

That is the most awesomest thing I have seen. Excellent work.

Thanks, but to me its could have been done better. I wish I would have rented my normal paint booth and not tried to paint it in my garage. I paint every day at work and I can lay down some ok paint, but it came out a 10 footer, so in a couple years im gonna respray the outside.

beautiful truck

I made up a bumper out of some c channel my friend gave me. Still need to cap off the ends. I also had an old grenade and a 50 cal shell I got in iraq. So i made them my shifter for the tranny and trans case. I laser etched the transfer case shift patern on the shell at my work. I always forget it.

Wow looks great. I'd love to do this to my burb, but I lack the fabrication skills. Econoline did the same thing to the Bronco...Well kinda I think they took a crewcab short box and fabed a top on to the back. I know I know...I said Bronco, but I'm also a fan of Broncos, and not the football team.

 

[kaharshs]

I think someone posted a picture of one of the broncos a few pages back. Hey for the right price I can make you one. Im thinking about converting another one to sell. I dont stick to one brand. I have a 66 ford mustang, ,73 plymouth duster, 66 F100, 95 honda civic, and the 79 suburban. I hate it when people only stick to one brand and are close minded. Hey the only way to learn fabrication it to practice. I dont fabricate stuff for a living. Im work structural maintenance on aircraft. Just a hobby of mine that i may make my job.

 

[rgorsuch87]

I don't think I want to know how much it would cost Yeah about the only fabrication I do anymore is derby cars and that isn't saying much. They don't have to be pretty just strong, hell the uglier the betterNo I'm sure I could do it, but finding the time is the problem.

thanks, ive been driving the hell out of it on the road. Just dont have anywhere close to my house to go off-roading and it sucks. Im gonna have to plan a camping trip or something into the mountains to get some off roading time with it.

 

[tRustyK5]

I gotta say you've done the cleanest back half cab conversion I've seen so far...and you actually finished it and are driving it. Just craziness!
