I may have missed it, but What year truck are you building this frame for?

Yea it was late and i was at work

I dont know though i still think its a reasonable question. The bodies are different from 67-72. Right!!! I personally like the 67 & 68 body style over the the later models. So let me Re-Phrase the question LOU what year body are you putting on this frame?

**Captkaos** · 03-01-2008, 11:50 PM

Yeah the 67-72 vary some, but the picture I links from his original post is a 73-78 (looks to be a 1976 to me)

See if that is true. This Thread is even more interesting to me because i am getting things together to get my 75 Blazer converted and bagged.

I didnt even see that ScotI asked this same question just before i did. Cool at least i am not the only one curious about the year.

LUCKIN-FOU · 03-02-2008, 03:05 AM

You know I need to check the title on the truck. I thought it was a 78 but what do I know.

shortbed70 · 03-02-2008, 03:54 AM

Cool!

close enough, are you keeping the exterior stock, or something else?

ACE_Customs · 03-03-2008, 07:32 PM

Lou, sorry it took so long to check out the frame on here. Looks great. Glad to see you take the time to make the little changes that matter. Progress looks good and look forward to hearing from you again. -Amos

LUCKIN-FOU · 03-05-2008, 02:46 AM

SBTORK I love the stock exterior to me that is what makes the truck. Here are some more pictures. This is the front of the tranny crossmember I made it so it bolts to the frame.

These are the bushed rod ends that I get from my friend Todd at Knowbody Sheet Workz. I like them because you don't get alot of the road noise that come with hiems all the way around.

The tubing is 1.375x .095 wall chrome molly 24" long.

The shanks on all the ends is 3/4" the hiems are from Aurora.

I need to mount the bars next I'll post pictures tonite.

shortbed70 · 03-05-2008, 06:48 AM

In the 4th pic what links are those? How can I get some? I made my own adj. track bar and need the end links. By the way welcome to the board.

LUCKIN-FOU · 03-05-2008, 07:18 AM

Shortbed70 I get them from a friend of mine. Idon't know were he gets them from but I can find out for you

fatboys69 · 03-06-2008, 09:31 PM

WELCOME TO THE BOARD FROM DAYTON TENNESSEE !!!!!!
Man ain't that thang *****IN !!!!!!
Nice work Lou, it is KILLER !!!!!!

BACKYARD88 · 03-06-2008, 10:56 PM

Good looking build Lou. Can't wait to see more!

LUCKIN-FOU · 03-07-2008, 07:22 AM

I got the rear suspension in all I have to do is mount the shocks. I'll do that after my milk and cookies.

The 2X4 will give me the space I need for the bars to clear the rails.

As you guys can see because of the ride height I had to make stands. Ithink they came out pretty cool.

That is it for now I domn't want to bore you guys to much.

slammed1 · 03-07-2008, 07:28 AM

I like seeing these in progress step by step builds. Keep up the good work. Your making me want a chassis table now in my garage.

grnddwn · 03-07-2008, 08:26 AM

Looking good! Lou is making me feel bad about not working on my truck all these damn progress pics. Keep em comin

Walts_restoration · 03-07-2008, 09:34 AM

Bore us too much? most of us just look at the pictures and ignore the rest, good thing we dont have to take a literacy test to sign in or we would never get to post

jkaylor68gmc · 03-07-2008, 09:26 PM

Damn lou, looks as though you can weld, ha-ha. So where is the F-1 man? I meant to call you but I have gotten super busy. we are trying to get into our new building and dang I hate buildingfreaking cubicels. Crap, I though I spelt that correctly.

Anyway, how are thigns going? Give me a buzz. You gots my number.

BTW, static drops are weak.

LUCKIN-FOU · 03-08-2008, 02:12 AM

I decided to go with some simple shock mounts 1"X2". Cut one side at an angle weld a scrap piece of 1" .156 wall tubing. I would mount the fuel cell but I'm going to wait till I put the bed on that way I can put it the way I want it. The shocks are from AFCO I chose a set of 150 LBS springs. After all it is a pickup truck .

I have seen in some manuals and magazines that you should not install shocks at an angle greater that 30 degrees. I figure someone might want to know that.

I'll build the core support and fuel cell mounts when I mount the body. I'll start a new thread for that.
