Little more work on the rear bumper.
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...3f2ccb5cbb.jpg Picked up a GM TH400 tonight and the 6.0l should be delivered tomorrow. I'll finish the rear bumper mounting tomorrow morning then move on to the front frame and engine installation mock up. |
Little more work done today. Rear bumper finished. The reason it's a little wide is I plan to have the tube fenders tie into them.
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...2e3dcfbb8b.jpg Now onto the front frame. |
Started with this but didn't like the height.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...af668a28bc.jpg Redid the rails to a new height and ended up here. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...578a20811c.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...6440da5662.jpg The picture is a little deceiving as the framerail is level and the engine has a 3deg upward tilt. Tomorrow I'll work on capping the tube & boxing it in. |
Like the build, looking forward to see where this goes...

Trying to firm up a couple of decisions for the build. I have to decide on tires, leaning towards Maxxis bias Trep's. Pretty sure I'll go with ORI air struts. Trying to find a good deal on 1tons if not then a fabricated 9" for the rear, possibly the front also, if not then the best deal I can find on a Ford D60.
|
Front rails burned in, started to put some reinforcement plating on but started to run out of gas. Going to get another tank for the TIG also, for when I start the cage install. I also have to get some tips for the plasma cutter.

Got a late start this morning but have Sunday & Monday to get more done. I went & picked up some more gas for both of my welders. I spent some time to redo the cart to hold these bigger bottles.

The 6.0 finally got here today.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...8876d1f853.jpg Test fitting it into the chassis. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...1ee9a1e880.jpg I think I'll cut the firewall out a little bit for a few more inches of set back. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...d75d1f1fae.jpg I think I'm going with a different oil pan than the stock truck pan, probably a Moroso road race one. That will give me 26" of ground clearance (frame is at 25" of clearance ). I'll wait till I get the TCASE & frt suspension figured out till I worry about exhaust. |
