I like the way your gas tank mount turned out $Beer Chug\'n$

swapped89 · « **Reply #845 on:** Nov 21, 2010, 06:43:54 PM »

Ya man me too. My buddy gave me the idea. He told me it would fit perfectly sideways between the frame rails with just some angle iron. Worked out nicely

ya it fits sweet and looks good! My buddy did sort of the same thing on his runner but in the rear more and he actually bobbed the tank to get a better fit and be more out of the way. But now he is doin a link suspension so it might be in the way now.... NOT sure yet

nice dude its like 12 degree's here and the wind is ripp n. So in other words you won't see me outside today lol ya spin it around the block yat?

?

swapped89 · « **Reply #852 on:** Nov 25, 2010, 09:22:11 AM »

Yes! I had to at least get her runnin before turkey day. Feels
like a wieght lifted of my shoulders. There us snow in the mountains were I live and everyone keeps tellin me hurry up. So I'm hurry'n up

She's not driveable yet. The driveline is bein worked on at dl tech. I still gotta box in the holes in the cab. Bleed everything. Cut up the bed and swap everything from my old doors to my new doors.
And redo my front wheel bearings cause they're tight and there is quite a bit of play in them.

swapped89 · « **Reply #853 on:** Nov 29, 2010, 01:13:41 PM »

Went and played in the snow Friday night in the runner. Me and some friends and huge bonfire party and rallied trucks till like 4am it was good fun fo sho.
Also set the bed on the truck. Need to bob about 4-6"s off the front. Gettn closer day by day.

Yeah pallets burn hot and fast.

swapped89 · « **Reply #859 on:** Nov 29, 2010, 06:44:55 PM »

got the front of the bed cut off so the fender wells are proportioned to the tires. Im not gonna do a full bob cause Im tryin to find a nice straight bed to hack up.

91 ex-cab · « **Reply #862 on:** Dec 01, 2010, 05:05:05 PM »

cool man! It's already looking way better than I thought it would. Your gas tank came out really good, keep up the good work.

gnarrkill · « **Reply #863 on:** Dec 01, 2010, 10:01:32 PM »

Jud · « **Reply #864 on:** Dec 01, 2010, 10:23:48 PM »

I need to move my tank up there too. I wonder if I could mount it low enough that I can still use my toolbox...

Cut off the stock bed mounts and reused them to mount the bed.

Thanks man!! shes almost done! I think i might have it done by the time this weekend is over

Here is a couple pics of the sheet metal i used to box in the holes in the cab. Gonna put a few more tack welds on them then Seem seal them and paint'm. And then i can start putting my interior together!!

this is the one that goes under the driver side back seat

this is diff. from the one above. couldnt put telil flaps on this one cause it was so close to the seat belt mount.

NITE KRAWLERS · « **Reply #869 on:** Dec 03, 2010, 06:53:42 PM »

I may have missed it but why was der a hole there in the first place??
