Well ive been wanting one of these for quite some time, just never had the cash when one came up for sale. But this time, the tables were turned.

Next to Papa.

This things been hacked a bit, they added 1/2" to the cab it looks like, and moved the rear fenderwells forward 1/2".
Not sure if i wanna stick with this bed and build a drop bed, or put the other spare bed back on and do a working tail gate.

But to answer your question, read my response to the other dude

jon1197 · 12-30-2010, 09:40 AM

updates please, loves these builds with the ss bodies .....

CREEPINKING · 12-30-2010, 12:31 PM

Man you going crazy with the Chevy's. Cant wait to see how it turns out. I went flatbed style on my SS body so if you need the bed just holler.

ScalerLover · 01-19-2011, 05:05 PM

Had been spending a little more time on this.
I was working on getting everything smoothed out when the body basically started falling apart.
Whoever originally built it didnt quite do it right, where they cut the cab and added 1/2" they just put a 1/2" piece of plastic behind then plastered it with some type of epoxy, then filled the rest with bondo. Same with all the bed splices.
So needless to say i ripped it all apart and am splicing the cab back to original length, without the 1/2" and am also using the good bed. It will be dropped and have a functional tailgate when finished.

Enough rambling !! PIXHORES !!!

Only 2 though

bayareaaxial · 01-20-2011, 09:40 AM

man this is gonna be sweet

CREEPINKING · 01-20-2011, 10:53 PM

Im thinkin standard cab, long bed would be sweet. Different too. The bed may turn out too long and look a lil off though.

Cant wait to see what it turns out lookin like.

ScalerLover · 01-26-2011, 08:23 PM

Thinkin about using my Fast lane as a donor, with an MRC trans of course.
Im unsure its worth it due to the axles being plastic but may run with it for now.

hotrodsonoma · 01-26-2011, 08:36 PM

coming together nicely SL cant wait to see it finished,but if it is like any of mine,it will never be done.

also nice body reconstruction on the mess up the past owner done.
