sway bar ser up in the rear
rear break lines, breather goes right threw the T for the rear
everything in
cut the bed out and mocked it up
and thats what i got so far. i made new bed mounts so i dont drill threw my frame, im cutting the floor out of my friends k20 so i have more bed meterial, and i am working my off this winter because i have come to conclusion im building an LS1/3 T56 combo for it. stand alone electronics and a clean engine bay with custom stainless long tubes.
Im at that point now... i just need to get it done so i can run the power tour in 2012

ps, it took me 6 months to find that rear sway bar  but if anyone ever needs a very good place that will help you find it for those 6 months, or need any parts like mustang 2 front ends ETC.. Fatman Fabrications saved me, and i owe them so much for helping me

and thank you all for the support and credit, im just doing what my brain thinks i should, and skipping the paper step

Work uber hard and roll in primer for the 2011 powertour. I wanna have a dually tuckin 22.5 Alcoa's for the 2012 tour, I hope flipping the Yukon hasn't set me too far back.

i keep sticking with these wing type brackets, i have a thing for them, strong, and good looking i suppose. then my anal dimple dyes,


had to cut out everything for the fuel cell, i will be welding and bracing the cross suports, putting the brackets on for the bed, then cutting the fenderwells some more, but i have a feeling i need to make the hump over the c-notch before i cut the upper inner fender out of the bed or it will relax, it already has a little, but i made my body lines, considering the frame, only took 3/16" shims on the cab which could partially be from the sagged rear body mounts

so last night i decided not to work on my truck......
so my buddy nick  took my wheels and tires and decided to get them mounted and balanced.... $20, shady ordeal, said the guy needed 100 psi to set the bead... $75 tires who cares...
anyways got them on..

set it at ride height, realized after pondering a while i was an inch below, o well.
built my fuel filter/pump bracket and plumbed it using aluminum 5/16 hardline and compression fittings.

also with that i found out different sized V-belt pullies work awesome when bending it, just a sweet trick, all different size radii
Then screw facebook, because i posted a picture up, and my friend sam decided that its not cool till he sees it on the ground, which required meto cut the inner layer of the outer fender off the front and rear.... but i did it right with a 21.25" radii in back and the plasma, came out better than imagined:




got finals this week so probably not touching it again till next week, but its in my shop on the ground, so awesome!!!

What are those steelies off of bubba?

[the dan]

that was half the fun, finding 20" steel wheels! i think i said it a while back but you gotta look under the back of a mopar truck

[three8six]

So you just used some adapters and bam? Or you redrilled them because I see you using the stock chevy center caps? I am asking because I love the look.

[the dan]

the rear is out of a ford bronco, so its 5.5 on 5, which is what the rims are, im modifying the center caps to fit they are kinda just resting. then im turning and redrilling the front roters, which doesnt look to fun, i have to mill the inside to clear the larger lug pattern.

[three8six]

So don't get mad because I don't think I fully understand you. On the front your are going to redrill the rotor and move the studs? or your going to oblong the holes so the studs fit? Thats cool that you put a bronco rearend underneath. The width of those wheels are 8.5 right?
