DropOut: Bagged & BD'd on 20's

Thanks pal.
The fenders are in place and need to finish off the sheet metalwork. Tonite we were glad to find out that the hood will close after trimming the bracing and swapping the air filter for a low profile unit... Where can I order one? I cut the stock one in half and it would get us by but we would still need the shorter clips.
Heres a shot from tonite, the bed just sitting over the frame thats why its not lined up right. Pictures arent doing this truck enough justice...

Looking good man. Not much clearance between the tire and the bed rail, huh? Lol.

Any issues with the back wheels rubbing the bedsides?

The bed rail will still come down about another 1/4" cause it needs a little more trimming above the tires and yes, the bed sides are touching the tops of the tires as it sits now but when we build the bed bracing we plan to pull the fenders out just enough to clear by a 1/4" or so and it didnt seem that it would be noticeable to the eye... I think we lucked out, we were sorta planning on having to have the rear end narrowed but it just wouldnt be worth the $$$

Tried our hands at making a new set of brake lines since the stock ones were too long after the body drop and fender wells and they turned out better than I expected. Cut, bent and double flared them and used the stock mounts on the firewall.
Still need to make a couple more and a clutch line but its all I got for now.

Hell yeah, looks great! I did the same think with my brake lines too.

Man that looks really good man...i can imagine those lines were a pain in the ass lol...

Thanks guys. They werent too bad to get them like this actually, just mocked up the old lines then copied them... The flaring part is the harder half but as long as the ends are prepped really good then they turn out great.
I bought a pair of tube bending pliers for 35$ and they outshined the regular round type bender any day, they are Well worth the money.

Pliers? Those sound fantastic. Got a link to an example?

Yeah they are great cause they make real tight bends and you can make sure they are strait. Here's a pic I took of the tools I was using. I found these at Oreillys, Lisle is the brand If I remember correctly.


And the hood now clears the engine, we also got the clutch line made and runs from the firewall with the other brake lines and into the cab. Also the Fuel lines are hooked up and I placed an order for the AN fittings to connect the fuel cell to the fuel lines in the rear. Next up we have to figure out which wires we need to keep from the truck's harness and scrap the rest and then plumb the air system....... "And Dennnn......?" lol

Got the fuel cell lines done and we got the inner fenders done today as well. They turned out really nice for a couple of white boys from Montana
Next up we will seam seal all of the welds and body fill a couple areas where we welded the tubs together but our next goal is to plumb the air system along with air gauges in the cab. Heres pics




And this one just cause I like it
