SFBD square with a Cummins and custom chassis

Any updates? I just read 41pages of this thread on my cell phone last night.

I need some updates! Ive prob read your thread times times this past year gathering ideas and i need more! Haha how'd that a/c setup work out?

I appreciate the kind words guys. I'm glad you guys are enjoying this build and possibly even using some of my ideas.
Lately my personal life has kind of gotten in the way of getting anything done. My girl friend and I decide to go our separate ways and we have a son together so that threw some a kink in my truck building time. So while I'm not dealing with all of that and trying to get my house put back together I have my shop completely backed up with 3 restoration jobs. While all of this work has been coming into the shop my business partner that owns the other half of "Boonedock Kustoms" dropped a bomb on me and told me he's folding and closing his end of it down. So now I'm running the body shop solo. So my time has been super scarce lately. that's the bad news...the good news is...

My house is back together, and my new girl friend loves trucks and is all about me finishing the dually, and even wants her own dually lol. I'm still super busy at the shop, but I've got one of my houses for sale. As soon as that sells I've got a deal worked out with Kyle that owns Guilty by Design and he'll be taking possession of the truck's chassis. He's going to back half it and finish up some other things on the chassis like building a new cross member for the new 5 speed trans.
As soon as he's done the rest of the truck is ready to go back together. I'm just waiting on the back half of the frame before I can reassemble all of it. So hopefully by spring the truck will be going back together. I've gotten everything else on the truck but the chassis ready to go back together.
I also made the 3 mile drive out to the Chrome shop mafia guys shop and found my big rig rims. They have probably 1,000 different sets of used big rig rims out there of all different shapes and sizes and even offer to polish them when you buy them for a reasonable rate.

So that's where everything is at right now.
The new GF and I have trip planned to Lone star throw down in February. Hope to see some of you guys trucks down there.

On another positive note I went and bought myself a 2003.5 2wd ford F350 dually 4 door long bed with a 6.0 diesel and have been dabbling with that. i bought it needing a tow pig for the shop. Now it's making around 500-600Hp and has become a sleeper that's out running everything it's raced so far lol. just something awesome about your neighbors thinking a jet is taking off outside every time you start your truck.

Good luck.. Lifes complicated sometimes.. if we let it.. things usually work out... <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /> <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

I just got my house sold yesterday. Soooo.....the chassis will be placed in the very capable hands of kyle Dimetroff at guilty by design and ill be getting by big rig rims and other parts ordered that I've been waiting on

Sweet!!! and Congrats! Now we can watch Kyle finish this baby up! Pics...

I'll be glad to see the chassis finally finished so I can put it back together. I'm going to have him build me a custom billet fuel cell while he has it also. That way it can be built in with the back half instead of looking like an after thought like most of the prefabbed fuel cells do. He says he's going to build the back half out of 1/4&quot; walled 3&quot;x4&quot; and integrate a gooseneck setup. I think it'll look pretty sick when its done. I'm yet to see him turn out anything that's not killer looking.

Just bringing this back to the top... Haha

Any progress or pics????

I actually just got home from meeting with kyle and getting him some cash to get started. Within a couple weeks he should be started on back halfing it. I just told him what I was going to do with it and told him to go nuts. So its all up to him whatever he comes up with. I'm sure it'll be bad ass when I get it back. I'm yet to see any of his work that isn't sick.
I also yet yesterday and picked up the bell housing so the engine and trans can go back in as soon as kyle is done with the chassis.
I'm going to try to make it out to the chrome shop mafia shop today also to pick up some big rig rims.

fuk ya big &quot;g strings&quot; you doing any killer milling or just normal alcoas
