I hate running out of steel...
 
...this far into a build.

I knew I'd be cutting it close, but I kind of thought I'd be able to cut one last piece out of what little material I had left. No luck. :-(

Everything is straight, there's just some distortion in the images from the wide angle lens.

That sucks, I knew there was a reason I over buy all the time:lol:. Nothing could be more of a MoJo killer then running out of material on a Sundat night.

Lookin' sweet :D Shame about running out of steel. I'm surprised you're running the shiny diff covers, the way they hang down they'll hang up like the proverbial buck teeth. I'm thinking the rubber plug option would be more rock-friendly.

But they sure look good, don't they?

Looking forward to seeing the rest of this build.

JasonInAugusta 09-24-2006 09:10 PM

I'm not going to use the covers when running. Haven't ran it yet, still building.

It'll have covers while sitting, plugs when running. ;)

The flatbed thing is totally removable and won't require anything on the truck to be modded for it to work/fit.


The bed is made from 16ga steel, so I'm might need to build a new rear leaf pack for it. :lol:

I can't wait to see this one finished!

EeePee 09-25-2006 11:15 AM

Well, that's kind of cooler than mine. Ya jerk.

Looks great JIA.

JasonInAugusta 09-25-2006 01:04 PM

Got a little bit done before heading to work.

I designed the bed to be wide enough to allow use of the stock damper brackets and dampers so I figured I'd open up a slot to clear these parts.

That's why I like working where I do.We have hundreds of feet of 3/16 x .02 wall laying around.Now I just need to get around to building a tuber.:)
