B2000 drift truck build

damn you got alot of wheels!!! I need a new set..

haha yeah same here i hat e the look of the stock rims

trucks awesome man and your fabrication skills are top notch

Very nice!

Inner fenders almost done



moved the rear passenger side shock sount from the back to the front



added a crossmember any finally mounted the rear swaybar.





started reinforcing the bed where the hinges will attach.

Swirl pot



and fuel cell

Baffled up the inside nicely



And its 90% done





Next one im bending as much as possible from one sheet to minimize welds. Ive got about 21 foot worth of weld beads on this thing.

Had to make a sending unit flange to use my stock fuel gauge.




and the rear mount.

I need opinions. Should the gas filler cap be in the stock location or in the bed floor? If its in the stock location its going to have to be recessed about 5 inches to clear the bed when the bed opens. If its in the bed floor its will be awkward to fill and may be in the way when i have stuff in the bed. Either way kinda sucks.

Cut a door in the floor, and recess it there.
Hinge the door differently though... instead of having a hinge at the far end, move it toward the center of the door, at the 1/4 point.
Then you have a tail that you can push on to open it, and won't need a finger pull.
With your welding skills, it should turn out nice!
