87' GMC Custom Crew Cab Short Bed CUMMINS!
- Thread starter OYMC
- Start date
I like it too.No I don't know him.
Just really like his 55.
I was going to make a similar project with a 57 willys wagon, then I lost my job and had to sell.
Still alive
Well after running around like a chicken with my head cut off I seemed to have found a way to land back on the crew cab project... Today I worked on setting up the firewall and welded in about 2/3 of it. My plan is to box in the front 2/3's of the frame rails, finish the firewall / floor, set up my seat frame, and officially drop in the cummins drive train.... Here we go!

I like the idea of the fire wall modification. Good to get back on old projects. Sometimes breaks are good. Keeps you fresh with ideas

Man... I hope you get well soon.. Does not sound fun what you are going through...
Lookin' good man. Keep up the good work.. 
The frame will be boxed in completely from the leading edge of the frame to just behind the cab using 1/4 flat stock steel. To make for a clean even, and square box job I trimmed the upper and lower frame rails. The upper frame rail is 1 1/2" wide while the bottom is 2 1/2" wide...
Tomorrow I plan to build 1" longer front shackles, box in the frame rails, and possibly set the engine in for the first test fit... Crossing my fingers!
