ok... right on. thank you. and ya there is going to be about two inches sticking out the outer side of the frame. and ill brace, gusset it back to the frame so it will be plenty strong. how does your truck steer at the angle that its sitting. does it return to straight i guess is what im asking?

 

shes a roller





maybe ill push it outside this weekened and get some better pics...

 

Looks nice have you decided what you want to do for the rear leafs yet? Not sure if the short bed and long beds have the same measurement or not but I'm looking for what the distance is from the rear of the frame rail to the center of the rear axle just need this measurement so I can cente4 my rear axle and put the rear lift on. Did you measure before and after you did the springs in front curious how much lift you gained

 

I havent set anything in stone yet... i think ill take some more measurements on the dodge springs before i decide. i didnt take before measurements but its sitting right at 42" at the top of the frame now with the 31" tires on it. so its gonna be plenty big for me. and ill be happy to take some measurements for you. but im not sure exactly what you want. but ill be out there again tonight so i can do that for ya. and ellis the dude thats doing the body work on the cab called me last night and hes shooting primer on it today. already. its only been two weeks so im pretty stoked about that. pretty much all of the parts are in for the 12 v except the turbo. i know what im going to run but i havent forked over the funds for that yet. ill put a list of parts together that im dumpin into her. i need to make room to get the build going and get on it.

 

 

got some picks of the cab. super stoked...













man im excited... heres a cupple with frame leveled up. i wanted to check pinion angle and a few other things.






and heck ya i took a pic of this... seen this on my way home thought it was to funny not to. silly granola chruchers.



what is she gonna pull with that. i luv squirles squeezers...

 

damn wasting no time getting me stoked to get mine going. This motor is killing me thats what i get for being **** then the trans. Keep up the good work.

 

hey do you have any pics how your rear shocks are mounted at the top. Mine came with no rears from the factory.

 

thank you sir... ya im trying to get it done. the elk hunt is in a few months im not shooting for done. but im hoping for a driving truck. i guess i could always register the 67 cp that will pull the trailer. get on that truck of yours im really enjoying this build...




i for got to mention i used that por-15 on the under side of the cab as well.

 

i dont have a close up. but they are twards the top in the c channel... i will take a close up for ya tomorrow though and post it here tomorrow evening.

That shop looks like heaven with all them cummins what are your cummins build plans?

 

thanks for the pic thats what i was looking for. Looking at the pics i was laughing i remember when i did my first cummins swap almost 6yrs ago it was unheard of now everyone has one lol. I can say it is the best thing i ever did.

 

smitty did you happen to do it in a bumpside? got any pics of the install i need to figure out how i want to weld in my motor mounts looking for ideas

 

yes i would also be interested in seeing how you did it... but when i put the 4bt cummins in my toyota i just stuffed it in there got it blocked up where it was gonna sit and built all mounts needed. tact them up yanked it back out and welded the **** out of it with everytrhing out of the way. and ill get a list and a bild put together for my 6bt for you guys for sure.
