Cool man, what suspension are you running? Looks like 64" chevys in the rear. Keep up the good work

64" in the rear and 56" up front. Had the same setup for a while and it does great. Only issue is stretching front brake lines and having to trim allot of sheetmetal.:rolleyes:
 
Nothing to exciting today. Got the seats in. Also got the brakes, pedal hooked up, and shifter in. Just some small things left. Should fire this week.

What kind of seats are those? They look similar to the seats I'm gonna be putting in my Jimmy from Kraegan Auto. I know they're not the best, but I can't complain for the price I can get them for.

No idea. Got them from a buddy cheap. He had them in a mustang. They beat the hell out of a bench seat.
 
Hmmm? How much is cheap? I can get some pretty similar for $100 brand new, but I can't find a cheap bench to match for the rear. Should I just put in 4 buckets?

I ended up using the x-member from the longbed p/u. It is a temporary solution until the plate i ordered shows up. Ill see if i can snap a few picks this afternoon.
 
More progress today. Got all the sheet metal hung. Tomorrow ill build the rock sliders, trim all the sheet metal, and coat it with some flat black. Goin wheelin in a week!

If you mean axles, nope. Not unless someone decides they want to drop a set off at the house. Having what most people consider to be inferior axles requires you to be a better driver, instead of just playing the "point and shoot" game.
 
lol if it barely clears try a beef ratchet strap from the axle to the frame/crossmember to compress the springs a little. My friend used to get his sami in his garage doin that.
