Any guy who takes his woman wheeling enjoys her. A woman who is owned is left at home to cook, clean, and keep beer cold. So if this offends you you should stop looking and go have some tacos.    :rofl2: And a beer. If your old enough.   :beerchug:   :beer:

looks good bud and I like the simplicity of the sliders but dont you think they'd be more effective with the wider flair towards the rear? not knockin just my :twocents:

edit: you're probably going for more clearance/protection of the a pillar/ windshield frame?


it looks like the neighbor building them is going for a similair look to the original running boards.
I have seen pre-made versions like this, as well.

got it moved to my house and my neighbor fabed up a crossmember, its just tacked for now.

You guys did a great job on that cross member / skidplate. Is it going to be removable so you can drop the tranny?

Thanks Mike, I am now in the process of getting back on this thing. I started tearing apart the front end and putting POR15 on everything I possibly can. I have to make an order from Marlin on brakes before I can finish the front axle though. Hopefully I can finish this before the end of summer  :crossed:

Nice project Aaron, almost forgot about this!

I believe so, chevy used the same patterns for a long time.

Thanks, Luckily my :bowdown: neighbor knew how to install an arb, I finally did it myself but with his guidance, its actually way easier then I expected. I think im going to use the stock chevy a/c compressor running to a small tank of some kind, I haven't thought that far ahead yet  :headscratch:
