But a pro mod or altered isn't using Google a stock C channel frame rail. Again, not bashing or trying to argue. Just something I thought about when I saw the pictures.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

No bed floor? Were you running one before you started the rebuild? Looking good. That rear end looks like a hoss.

Not bed floor then or now. It will have a bed cover. I upgraded to a fabbed housing and I am replacing the 35 spline axles with 40 spline gun drilled Mosers.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

have been looking intoo those truckarms from hotrods to hell before , they look nice , think they made them for a few other cars and trucks too
did they use I beams and added stiffeningplates to them made them from U profile welded against eachother like the originals or constructed the arms from flat steel ?
allso curious if they added stiffeningplates to both sides
(i'm guessing yes , as the arms should be mirror images of eachother )

its actually hard to see welds on the inside edge of the parts where there no stiffeningplates welded in and cant see the top and bottom edge of the arm so i cant be sure
cant realy see wat they did at the hingepoint either , looks like a bushing with rubber wall pressed inside thickwall pipe welded intoo the beam and it looks like they bended the stiffeningplate up so it welds to the outside edge of the pipe to make it stronger

could you make some closer pictures from both ends of those arms?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Yes bed still mounted to cab. Rear gate is a skin as well and it has a custom mount to hold roll pan, tailgate skin and rear bedsides. It does get a decent amount of rubber in it. I may do some metal or carbon fiber at some point.
