thanks. i still have to install brake lines and locks, roll cage, wiring harness, 42 maybe 44s. with lots of cutting, and paint.
 
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. lookin good fellow texan! that big block on the pane looks sweeeeeeeeet. can you sense my enthusiasmmmmmmmmm?
 
they are stock 52s front 56s rear. im gonna take out the zero rates. it turned out to be too much lift (sounds crazy but it wound up being around 8 inches).
 
Very nice looking, what are the rest of the specs? I'm new to the propane thing, you stuff looks new what brand? Website?
 
the propane is from gotpropane.com. not sure the brand of mixer (i was told it flows better than the impco 425s. the vaporizer is an m&m x-1 (not model E ). if i could do it all over agin i would have pieced it all together and saved some money. the kit was great saved me alot of head achs. but i still had to buy a few fittings to get it routed just the way i wanted.

i also wish i would had up'd the compression ratio when i was building the motor to take advantage of propanes high octane.

live and learn.
 
That's a sweet rig so far. Looks like you're doing everything right the first time around ;)
 
when you cut the tub for full vert...did you weld anything from the front tub mount to the mount behind the door? guess, i'm asking, did you put any tubing or channel behind the rockers to stiffin the body tub up?
 
i didn't brace the body in any way because the doors are never going back on. plus after im done with this body its probably going to look like a giant wad of aluminum foil that slightly resembles a blazer.

and yes, i think kert has done more work on this truck then i have. great product, great service, affordable. what more can you ask for.
 
Very nice setup. How long are those front shackles and are those 37" military hummer tires? Just trying to get a size comparison on what to put on mine.
 
the shackles are 7.25". tires are 36" hummer (wrangler millitary oz). i just have those on for mock up (and and a future burn out comp.). i got them for 25 a piece almost new. its like they had them on a humvee for a week and took them off.
 
I live off I-10 and 6-10 on the west side. did you build that cage in your pics. if not who im towing my truck some where to get one built on monday.
