the rebuild...

Sic work man! That's one bad ride your gonna have. Keep it up.

Truck is looking badass. I have been watching the build since you posted it and the work on the frame is just crazy. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing the truck finished.

i spent tonight eyeballing up the body lines on the bed with a few buddys. i see trucks where it looks like the bed isnt sitting right and i'm trying to make sure its perfect with line of sight.

1st problem is the lack of bodyline on the crew cab rear pillar making it hard to see down but its ok, easy to create a new line.

2nd is my bed seems about 3/8-1/2" wider, 3/16" each side, (overall width, driver-pass side) than the cab on the lower body line, the upper is bout right on. i am considering sectioning the front bed wall to compensate.

3rd is my upper/lower bodyline spacing. All good GM parts but it looks like the vertical spacing between the upper and lower is shorter on the bed than the cab so i can only line up one set of bodylines perfectly. (maybe thats why GM didnt have a bodyline in the rear pillars of the crews beacuse of that)

part 2 of 3rd is general fact on our trucks that the upper bodyline slopes down back to front of truck, and the lower stays flat/level. if i line up the lower perfectly flat/level all around, the upper looks off. which is more critical?

or do i say F it, take the extra 40+hrs and shave my upper body lines and keep the lower where its at now?? lotta tack welding, like 1000's of lil tack welds.. THATS 20 FEET of truck to fill in!


i needed a break from thinking.

Truck looks real good too bad the roads suck in lacross. I am sure by now they finished all the construction lol but anyways its late lol....im tired sorry

thing is sick!!!

plasma carnage from bed, not shown is one plasma tip.. cut through all the paint and crap..

i cut out everything, plain and simple. mostly just the outer bed skins, rear pillars left. started and couldnt stop.. now i can start with a fresh bed frame and got the front of the bed matched up perfectly to the cab. gonna keep both body lines. I adjsuted the height of the bed's lower bodyline matching the cab and split the difference. looks good enough and my paint design should help hide it. need to get more steel for bed frame/skeleton

looks awesome man gonna be bette than it was before

Damn bro you, have a sic setup where did you get the diff 6-link brackets from ?

Good work! Keep it up. Its nice to see a garage built ride with all the care and effort that yours has into it.
