Layin down the bed today and preping doors for powder coat....

Looks great. What size and thickness metal did you use for the crossbraces. What size dimple dyes did you use in them as well?

kart34 · 02-14-2011, 06:48 PM

It is a 2" x 3" x 3/16 pre bent angle ........ 3/4 inch dimple die

Fricken' SWEET!

Hood struts would be great. Maybe I'll use the stock shocks I pulled off the truck. They should be strong enough for those massive slabs o' metal.

Inner Fender Modifications and Moon gas pedal. We will change up the brake and clutch pedals and new Moon pedal pads to match gas pedal. We are trying to keep with our "salt flats push truck " theme.

That's how I'm doing mine. I hit our good friends up about 'helping' that portion of the project along.

Wouldn't mind seeing more pics of that shifter.

DW67c10 · 02-17-2011, 09:49 AM

Does anybody else think that 60-66 looks better in a long bed than a 67-72 in a long bed?

kart34 · 02-17-2011, 01:23 PM

Preping the doors for powder coat....

kart34 · 02-17-2011, 01:28 PM

Made some modifications to the exhaust system, added some more components, and tearing the bed down getting parts ready for powder coat.

kart34 · 02-17-2011, 01:32 PM

Fabbed the inner fenders, made them boys wider to fit our wheels

**lolife99** · 02-17-2011, 02:43 PM

What diameter and width trailer fenders did you use?
Also,... where did you purchased them?

kart34 · 02-17-2011, 02:56 PM

I got the fenders at Northern Tool ... 10 inch wide.... it takes 3 total to do the job.

jimmydean · 02-17-2011, 03:07 PM

This truck STILL isn't done?

Man, it looks better and better with every pic. Can't wait to see it laid out in powder.

kart34 · 02-17-2011, 03:30 PM
