nice work

Burnout - the truck is looking great - with the bed like you have it, and the channel job, the top already looks low (if not chopped). I like the proportions the way it is, but I'm not trying to convince you either way.

I'm digging this build more and more.......................

 

[Burnout]

Got around to replacing the wood in the passenger door with metal and need to install the bear claw latch next. Going to try and use the orginal door handles. I still need to find 2 pieces of the driver door and it has not been easy.

next couple of pics, I just need to fill one spot and weld all the cuts I made.

Day late again

I dont know how i miss so many of these threads till there 3 - 4 pages long.Any how lookin good man. So many of the things that can be done with these rats is a matter of personal preferance.If it looks good to you and is techinaly correct its right. My frame under my cab is 3 1/2 inches off the ground and my cab which i did not have to channel - giving me more head room for my 3" chop- is 2 1/2" off the ground , stupid , insane , gonna be trouble if I get a blow out , you bet , but I like the low down look. Havent bottomed out yet , lucky I guess. Some guys like high boys and some like low ones, all personal preference. What size are your wheels and does Stockton have a web site ,I have 4 , 35 Ford wire wheels and one needs to be straightened.LFE

 

[Burnout]

the fronts are 17" and the rears are 16" but the tire diameters are over 30" so they sit pretty tall. Stockton wheel does have a site. http://www.stocktonwheel.com/

Burnout , does your truck have a roll out windshield ? ...`24

 

[24dodge]

you can make the window channels your looking for , for your doors from this stuff , its metal shelf bracket channel that you can buy at home depot or lowes , I think a 3 ft. pc. is about $4...... then you can order the rubber window channel from www.restorationspecialties.com , just make sure you measure the i.d. of the track so the rubber will fit in tight....`24

Build is looking really good. The frame and suspension are looking sweet.
(Here is a little tech tip. Move your ground to the frame or the axle housing, if you ground there is runs through the bearings, and makes a little arc on them.)

I swear you and I think the same... I just started looking at this thread and almost wrote a message along the same lines.

If you chop it, it could look like this.

 

[24dodge]

Bob , do you have any pics of the engine in your truck ?

 

[bob w]

24 Dodge I do have a pic or two. I posted the pic of my Binder so Burnout could see a chop. I'll find another location to post engine pics because I don't want to interfere with Burnout's excellent thread. I don't know why my pics are so big; I've sized them as thumbnails on Photobucket. ANyone have any pointers?

[Burnout]

shanesflames that chop does lood good. Also, good score on the grill. Those are going for a pretty penny these days and very hard to find.
