zenish · 08-28-2005, 07:35 PM

you should see if you can lower it some.

bigred66 · 08-28-2005, 07:37 PM

ya i need to get that front end down! some more

forcedinduction · 09-05-2005, 07:54 AM

Very Impressive! Good job!

66+81 · 09-05-2005, 04:14 PM

It's to high up. Is that a regular long bed? It looks a lot longer than any I've ever seen. Could just be because it's so low.

matthufham · 09-05-2005, 04:30 PM

sweet, what's keeping the front so high?

a squarecan · 09-05-2005, 06:50 PM

Very nice! Kinda wierd to see a stock longbed on the ground. Hopefully I can have mine sitting like that in a month or so. Once you get the front down a little more it will be 1 sick truck!

What did you do to get it that low?

el curioso · 09-05-2005, 08:20 PM

How about some close up's of the notch of you dont mind showing your set up cuz im in a bit of a budge on where to mount the air bags on my friends 65. By the way long bed looks killer.

bigred66 · 09-06-2005, 11:08 PM

ok here ya go the front one problem is big tires and my arms is on the ground (well they were with smaller tires) need do so some cutting. I have 3 inch drop spindles up front with disc brake kit. And running cups top(2.5”) and bottom(1.5”) if I remember right…..I got the 98+ Chevy kit from SD and cut the top on in half and I believe the bottom to 1.5 ….

The back I have SD 10 notch and some CPP 2 in drop blocks (I would recommend making your one and going with 3”) and made my own bag mounts (if you look close I had to run a support accost the two so it did not twist my frame) it is not be best bag placement takes about 100+ PSI to move it and about 130 to get it up most the way.

Sorry for the pore English hope I helped some p.s alot of bad words is how i got this low

LOWERED LONG BOX

u2slow · 09-08-2005, 12:40 AM

I guess I'm not a fan of the "somebody stole my frame" look.

a squarecan · 09-08-2005, 12:48 AM

The back end looks great! I am just curious does your notch actually lean outwards or is it just the angle the pix were takin at? Either way it looks cool.

Keith

Woogeroo · 09-08-2005, 06:04 AM

looks well done Bigred - nice.

So, you guys in the 'eat dirt' crowd... ya'll just ride around with the rear end exposed or do ya'll put some kinda cover over the back? jes' wunderin'. I understand bigred's is a work in progess...

gostranger · 09-08-2005, 06:38 AM

the truck looks awesome to me thanks for the pics keep us updated on the progress!!!!

a squarecan · 09-08-2005, 10:26 AM

Hey Woog, it all depends on the person...

Lots of people do both, I personally am going to leave it open for now.

Keith

bigred66 · 09-08-2005, 11:48 PM

Ya with that funky frame my notch goes out like it looks in the pics. I still don’t know how I will drop the front more. I am not very mechanically incline and both scare me. Yes, I plan on putting the bed back in but that will be awhile. The wife has been given the stop spending money on the truck glare when I ask to buy parts.

DM310 · 09-09-2005, 12:36 AM

You have to ask to buy parts?.............. where the hell are your balls man....... haha j/k I am in the same boat....

Looks good

ah.

I was lookin' at Bigred's pics of his bed and I was recalling a '73 split bumper camaro a pal of mine had one time... it had big honkin' rear wheels, but it had not been 'tubbed'. Someone who had it before, had actually bent out, added metal to... and reshaped the feder and quarter panel like it had always been that way - basically a fender flare that you didn't notice. It also had crazy paint job on it, so u never noticed it unless you were a camaro freak or another camaro of similiar vintage was sittin' nearby.

Now I know this kinda thing would be $$$ or a lot of work.. prolly both - but the idea just popped in my head... to apply something similiar to the inside of the bed...

but I know nothin' about the dropped trucks. hah.

just a zany idea I had lookin' at big red's ride...
