Liking the little details, you gonna run bags? The big wheel craze is really starting to grow on me! Nice work!

Yep. Bagged cantilever in the rear and hopefully a cantilever setup up front too, with bags of course.
Plans as of now

24's
Cantilever rear
Cantilever front
Rear mounted rad
Custom aluminum gas tank
(The frame will double as an air tank for the suspension)
383
Turbo 400

Really like your frame set up. Guys who have done rock crawlers always bring a little extra to a project. [cl

Awesome, whats your timeframe on getting a rolling chassis together?

 

[RaptorCityFab]

There's not really a timeframe I pretty much just work on this on the side when I'm not busy with other projects.

Ohh yeah I've seen that before. That thing is way cool! Didn't know he was a member on here though. Defiantly an awesome build.

Here's my lower link brackets that I completely built from
Scratch.

How are you doing these compound angles?

An abrasive blade in a compound miter saw?

 

[RaptorCityFab]

I kinda cheated when I did those. They aren't actually 2x4 tubing. It's plate that I welded together and internally gusseted. and ground down then fishplated and actually. I found that a piece of 1.5" tubing fits almost perfectly in between. So that's what's welded on the bottoms of the compounds front and rear. If that makes sense...Here's a picture of the front

 

[RaptorCityFab]

Got a little more done. Front bags are mounted. I'm waiting for Heims and bungs to do the wishbone and panhard.

 

[sims426]

Looks awesome, cant wait to see this thing rolling!

 

[RaptorCityFab]

little more progress. got the motor/trans in

Not sure if I missed it but how much chop did you do and how much did you cut off the bottom of the body. Also not sure if the gmc are the same as chevrolet a but your cab may be a 38 by that hole being cut in the cab corner for the gas filler. I'm not certain on it but just picked up a 36 and 38 chevrolet cab and that's one of the differences.

By the way killer build and keep the updates coming,
