Chevy Crew Cab well its coming together now more than before, i have gathered all the required parts and am piecing together stuff. i have been working on this every weekend for the last few months and i think its pretty cool. 83 chevy grilled and tailgated k30 crew cab short bed thats dropped. full front interior (now probably rear cause ill have th R2) its a tlt based rig with a c'channel chassis not cut yet. the pede trans wont work at all so i gotta sell the two to get an r2... highlift leafs and stuff, bfg and hummer rims. 6 turned tlt shocks, stabilizer style. two tone paint like this: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...face/burb7.jpg well heres the beef... http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...e/IMG_2291.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...e/IMG_2292.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...e/IMG_2290.jpg let me know what you think. i have to tweak the suspension in the rear cause the spring over flexes??? too much shackle rotation. thanks! obijuan |
Wow, nice work. Those 1.9s fit that truck perfectly. |
Total props for the Iron Man in the background. Sweet rig"thumbsup" |

ditto looks killer :) |
Yeah, thats what I'm talking about. :-) That is going to be a nice rig. By the way... How much Stampede trannys do you have? I see two in the background. |
holy crap dude. that thing is sweet. im defiatly gonna stay with this one |
thanks for the compliments yo! for the pede trannys, i have two of them, i had three.. but w/e one is new and the other is used. theyre for my planned builds but it seems they are all wanting r2's or custom. so i will sadly let them go here pretty quick. i will have a blazer and a regular cab dually in due time. i got the frame rails cut at work today, so ill put it together and post pics later tonight. |
When I was younger my parents had that same sub it had 33 12.50 and loud exhaust back then I hated that thing :roll: but now i wish I had it :-( I will keep an eye on this build for sure if you ever go to sell the body let me know:lol: |
Nice work on the body. I'd wait to tweak the suspension until after you get your shocks in; you may not need to do anything once they're in and doing their thing. |
nah i think i got it dialed in. you tell me, its going pretty well the front is definately good to go and now some cross braces are coming maybe this weekend. "thumbsup" check these out: frontal flexage http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...rontflexin.jpg rear flexall http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...rearflexin.jpg obligatory flex shot: (no weight yet) http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...e/IMG_2301.jpg and frame: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...e/IMG_2297.jpg |
that is lookin good |
. Wow, that looks great, keep the pics coming. |
i just wanted to let everyone know this is the best looking project in the scale section right now. yea this will put all ya'lls yotas to shame. eh but i am a chevy guy.:twisted: |
That thing is going to be crazy scale. |
Is this going to be suburban or a crew cab truck? Either way its starting very nice. I got some new stuff for my crewcab its getting redone and the body work finished up. |
wow that looks awesome! Reminds me of my dad's 78 K10. "thumbsup" |
i can't believe how scale it is. the ride height and the amount of articulation looks dead on. great job and keep us updated on the build. |
lil update on the crew cab. did a little more body work to the hood and roof and cut out the bedsides too. i was playing around with shock locations and the front is kick *** but the rear was totally crampin my style. i wanted to stagger them to combat "axle hop" but they were afore mentioned crampin my style. what do you think on the locations where it is now allows the most flex out of the springs and i couldnt figger a good way to inboard them because of the bed. check it out. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...e/IMG_2303.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...e/IMG_2306.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...e/IMG_2304.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...e/IMG_2305.jpg |
this thing is so awsome. i was thinking the same thing about the rear shock interferring with the bed. i think i have a way of solving it but we'll see. |
is it a secret? can you tell me? |
