The cage is getting cut up and im gonna salvage as much of the pipe is i can to use at a later date.

so im pretty sure i set a new record today for changing out a timing cover. the old one was cracked and i put a new one one in an hour and a half, and just under two hours i had the truck running and as good as new (or close). I thought that was pretty amazing thought id share it with ya all.

I really like that Flatbed! Very clean and looks good. Would you care if I kinda copied your idea for my little 86'er?

What are some specs on it, like what size square tubing and how you mounted it? Very nice front bumper too. Thanks Wes

the flatbed is made of 2x4 square tubing with 2in channel bracing it underneath. It has a diamond plate top with all the pipe work 1.5 od 120 wall tubing. it mounts up to the stock mounts.

186er · « **Reply #134 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 04:15:30 PM »

I'm also trying to gather up all my parts, I"ve got about half of them now. Ive got the IFS all cut out and the frame ground smooth I just need springs. Oh and I'm in the process of building my Flatbed very similar to yours. Anyway cool pics, got anymore? Wes

rednk1980 · « **Reply #135 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 08:01:51 PM »

Im working on getting more pics, Justin you got any that you wanna post?

rednk1980 · « **Reply #136 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 10:52:56 AM »

when i put my rear flip kit on i want to weld my new shock mounts on top of the housing so i dont catch them on rocks and such. in doing this will i need to put a track bar or should my axle wrap be okay and not to out of hand

Nice Rig Bro. , I love first gen.'s , the best there is . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rednk1980 · « **Reply #140 on:** Jan 07, 2007, 04:43:23 PM »

Alright guys i got an idea last night and i want to put a stock long bed back on my truck then extend my frame two inches so i can put my lift on. Then after that bob the bed accordingly. Do you guys think it would be a good idea or not or any imput.

My other idea was i really don't want to have a five in lift i only wanted to go three or four but i found a good deal on five inch springs so i got them. Now i have a buddy who is willing to trade me his four inch allpoos for my five. He want to be taller and i want to be shorter. Good idea or bad?

rednk1980 · « **Reply #141 on:** Jan 11, 2007, 08:34:11 PM »

got some good news. My dad just told me were getting another truck so he can have the blue truck back. He was getting a little depressed that i wouldn't let him drive it so he decided i need my own rig. Im either getting an 81 or and 83 both run and are long beds thats all i know about them for now. Im gonna take my 5in allpro lift ive been building up parts for and put it into the new truck, along with my seats/harnesses, and winch then he get the blue truck. I also painted my hubs let know what ya think.

Yota87Truck · « **Reply #142 on:** Jan 11, 2007, 10:32:25 PM »

The hubs look nice. I like the rims also. Eventually I will have some rims like yours

Thanks for the compliment. It was a simple design and very light compared to the other bumper.

Yota87Truck · « **Reply #146 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 09:25:15 PM »
