My new build...the "me too" short Crew Cab ~UPDATE~ not selling it

[63chevyll]

Bitchen set up I'm loving in, and yeah jealous of those coils too. Very sweet

 

[K5 Jess]

To avoid failure at the steering box section of the frame, I added some beef.

Thats a purty bead

Cool...

This is going to be a great looking truck....(I am jealous)


Vinny what kind of paint did you use on the frame?

 

[odin]

The primer and paint I used is rattle can Krylon.
Got the fuse/relay box installed and modified the engine wire harness.
I'll get some pics tomorrow, too dark now.

Gotta chop the front of the bed and get it mounted so I can get the fuel cells mounted and run the fuel system.

Tossed the fenders on and got it sitting on all fours.
Pretty happy with the ride height.

Thats sharp looking. Would like to do this to my CC.

 

[Big Ray]

killer build....subscribed!

 

[odin]

Thanks guys.
I reworked the 6.0s wire harness, routed it towards the pass side battery tray and started mounting the fuse/relay panel and PCM (once it gets back from tuning)

Looks awesome Vinny
When it's all done we need to do a trip up to RC

 

[odin]

Count me in!
My little one cant wait.

Awesome, I took Jacob (5 1/2 now) with us to Rausch for that CK5 trip and he is hooked now , so anytime I go I'm sure to have my mini copilot with me

 

[odin]

Ok. Changed my mind on the fuse relay panel I made. Couldnt figure out how to weatherproof it. So looked around the scrap yard and scored an underhood fuse relay box from a 96 Camaro. Compact and weatherproof.

 

[odin]

Made a bracket for the PCM and mounted it to the pass side battery tray and wired in the Camaro fuse/relay box.

Looking good. Electrical stuff completely confuses me. I can't wait to see it rolling! Keep posting.

 

[y5mgisi]

Thats a bad ass fuse box!

 

[odin]

Thanks guys.
The wiring is about 95% done. I got a little outa hand and rewired the whole truck, but Im sure I'll be thankful in the end.

 

[jt512]

Looks great

 

[odin]

I dont like my hacked fenders, so I decided to section a set for a cleaner look

Added about 5.5" to the wheel opening.

 

[K85 Octane]

I like that. Is is going to remain "flared" looking or is that just preliminary fitment?

 

[odin]

Basically Im just extending the wheel opening.
That pic was just fitting.
