A '69 Build... "Brought to you by Don Juan Productions" Full index added to page #1

Overview Gallery Discussion
Pm me your number and ill get you some pics tomorrow. They do look similar to corbeau's though. I just got back with it Sunday so I have the rear end all tore apart ready for my springs just trying to source a factory rear shackle and hanger. Ill start a new thread here soon.
 
If I have it, it's all yours man. It might be a little thin from the flap wheel against rivets, but I don't know. Out in NY now, so it may be awhile till I can take a look. I know that I didn't toss them.


Just have no flippin' idea where they might be though. :haha:
 
Did I hear you are in NY?

What brings you so close to the border?:D

As you know I'm always checking in on your build, it's extremely impressive!!

Finishing up some Serpro storm Sandy work. We ended up doing a little construction over on this side of the states. Figured it would be a great idea with the easiness of a job way out here once you add in logistics...:whistle: :doah:

Thanks for the props. Just wanted to make sure that I haven't offended, at least too much.:D :waytogo:

Got a pic. I think they were like the Corbeau seats that the guys shot me down on. :doah: :wink1:



Dave said it best in Dean's thread (yeah, I've been watching, just waiting on some super progress:D).





So, with that thought, and it kinda being a CK5 build now, I need to go through the Grinch build or get a pic to see if I can have them or not. lol

It is I sourced another set on 67-72 forums..... Should have waited dam it. If your interested in makin another front recovery setup like you made for yours I'm sticking a set of factory bumpers on the grinch and would love to have a set of recovery points like that....you get those pics of those seats?
 
Cool that you found a set that will work for ya. :waytogo:

As far as making another recov set up, I'd have to say it really isn't in the cards anytime soon. I really want to keep pushing forward on my rig. Those damn things just took to long to whip out another set. You are more than welcome to come on down and trace it all out, so you can make a set. Hell, if you want, you can even knock it out at my house so you know that they'll fit. :pimp:

I did get the pics of the seats. Thanks. I think that I'm still going to go with a more subtle PRP recliners for my rig. I'll pass the word around down here though, for ya.
 
There is never enough time in a day!

I often find myself putting off my own stuff just to keep others projects on schedule.:doah:

Nice to see you have clear priorities with your build!

Progress is looking good as a result!!:waytogo:
 
thanks for the offer! Ya i prefer the PRP seats aswell. Im selling the iroks and stauns aswell for anyone interested.

You know how it is. The juggle between everything in life and to actually be able to work on your rig. Just like all that have been on the "lets tear apart our truck, not drive it for years as you work on it, drop every extra dollar that you have into it". You gotta have something set strait. Gotta tell ya though, my wife would like me to change a couple of my priorities. :whistle: :haha:

Thanks Mike. :waytogo: You need to head up one of these weekends. :deal:
 
Yep 36x16x13.5 selling wheels, tires and stauns for 1800 they are pretty low mileage. I need to get the exact mileage from Dennis.
 
Thankfully I have a different problem.....

The lack of available time is a given!

My wife on the other hand, prefers that we work on her truck..:D

For example, this weekend will be a marathon Cage build for her rig, then adding some rock rings to her aluminum Turbine wheels, so they don't get too badly damaged this year, and mounting the rooftop tent.:doah:

1 truck would be hard enough to keep up with......but 2 WOW!
the payoff is She never complains about the money we spend on the rigs.:waytogo:

Your Wife will definitely appreciate your rig more when you are able to take it out for a run, instead of retreating to the garage for more cool fab work!!:bow:

Winner winner!
 
Spent a little time in the garage last night, doing a little mock up for the bottom of the winch plate.

Honestly, I just want to throw these pics up to see what it might look like. You can see in the pics where I have it marked out (sloppy style) in orange. The big swoop will be cut out and the dotted line will be a bend. This should give the plate a total of six mounting bolts. Two on each side and the bottom coming back to those gusset corner things that I built.

In the end, I'll probably run a small hoop around the bottom of this plate so it looks like it is flat from the side view and cover it with some UHMV. I Still need a big order of that for the belly and slider cross braces.


Cut the bottom off the front plate finally.

The angle came out really nice coming into the bottom of the gussets.

Here you can see that it just wouldn't look very good if I didn't bring down the bottom so it's level with the world..

Hopefully some good progress this weekend.
