That' fine. I was just curious because I was comparing the front to the rear in your pics. Truck looks good. I like it.

Banjoman,
That is lookin cool.
Let me know if you get ready to do any suspension mods. Everything I do is cheap and easy, especially if you have learned on this project soo far.
Very cool build....
Keep the pics commin.

Joe, i moved everything over to a 1972 chevy pickup frame with a 350, auto trans, ps,pb, a/c and didnt have to do that much to the new frame, cut about 9 inches from the front and 7 from the back, will get some updated pics this weekend.

freakin awesome dude! the lights look killer!
thank all of you for the upbeat words..and the help..i have been working on this thing for 2-3 hours a day 7 days a week for the last couple weeks and im having a blast.. i figured out that if you screw it up get the welder or the cutting torch and fix it..lol. Captain what are you talking about for the front tires?? will it move them in any ???and does it cost alot??

Really good work Banjoman. The tail lights look good. As for a rear bumper, many, many trucks just run without one. I think they look good with a factory style thin bumber or none at all.
I think the Captain was just suggesting that you tuck the front wheels in a little bit inside the fenderwells.

That has been mentioned but in the pics the fenders are tucked in a little when i get done with the bracing the tires will be flush with the fenders, if there is a cheap way of tucking them in i sure dont have a problem with that, i think it might look a little better...
Hey Captain, if you look at post #25 at the back of the truck, under the tail gate, the fenders hang down 6 inches on the inside and i was thinking of making a pan to bolt to each side of the fenders and that would close up the back end so you cant see the rear end and give it a more finished look...am i thinking in the right direction??

I built a roll pan on mine, I see what you mean about the fenders. I kind of like the fender hanging down, but you could box the side in, and roll the back. ( I don't know where you are on the front tire situation, but a different wheel offset may help. If you don't rub in the front you could space the back to match, or you could just ship me the truck, and end the delima once and for all.)
Bonehead, Let me get it running and ill bring it to ya..........NOT

I thought I would mention the frenching options you have chosen. Normally you see the contour of the fender in tact. And the tubes cut off flush with the fender sheet metal. The tail lights would be in the fender. Usually if you see a tube that comes out it is molded in with body putty and had a thicker edge.
Now don't think I don't like what you have done, I just thought I should point this stuff out in case you were not aware of these other options. I have always frenched with the tube down into the work, and cut off the tube flush with the sheet metal. Yours reminds me of old Caddy tail lights, so that is cool too.

Bonehead, i think the pics are not clear enough, the lights are in the fenders i was just showing before and after pics, sorry to confuse you. I cut the tubes off flush with the fenders and sanded the edges, to round them off with the tubes. sorry to confuse you

I am easily confused, actually I am usually confused, come to think of it.
