sorry some of us cant afford that fandangled fancy equipment... whats wrong with a cutting wheel anyway?

GONZO97 · « **Reply #40 on:** Jan 05, 2010, 08:55:03 AM »

cutting wheel is my weapon of choice much cheaper

LilGonzo86 · « **Reply #41 on:** Jan 05, 2010, 07:58:12 PM »

but if you had someone who had it why not try it....

lownlinked85 · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 05, 2010, 09:39:41 PM »

you ever think of dove tailing (narrowing) the rear and the front

LilGonzo86 · « **Reply #43 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 08:32:38 AM »

i thought of dove tailing at one time but for now im satisfied with just a short bed and doing the front is just a little to complex to deal with..

83 Crawler · « **Reply #44 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 08:34:49 AM »

you need to sas before you dove anything lol

GONZO97 · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 12:54:11 PM »

i strongly agree with 83crawler besides i like the stock look of the truck

83 Crawler · « **Reply #46 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 05:35:14 PM »

i dont really get why people dove trucks anyways

GONZO97 · « **Reply #47 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 05:38:46 PM »

to tell you the truth neither do i, and in my personal opinion i dont really like the way it looks either

83 Crawler · « **Reply #48 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 05:48:19 PM »

i agree i love bodyed trucks my self

mayberry · « **Reply #49 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 05:54:48 PM »

i doved the front of one of my second gen truck and when i was all done i wished i had never touched it and left it stock i had the rear doved at one time too and i likes that but it wasnt finished so there was a big hole in the bad with no tail gate so it was an un useable bed

GONZO97 · « **Reply #50 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 06:02:22 PM »

stock crawlers are my favorite.... they look "clean" and ive always liked that.... clean but capable!!!

LilGonzo86 · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 08:04:39 PM »

true true i will sas first the reason they dove is to make more clearance for the tires ill end up not doing it ....... my father wouldnt let me any ways .... dont sweat it

83 Crawler · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 08:16:38 PM »

i know i was just saying

LilGonzo86 · « **Reply #53 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 09:23:01 PM »

it cool i like the stock look better.

GONZO97 · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 09, 2010, 11:48:26 PM »

ok this isnt for my benefit at all since ive seen them but i recall someone promising pictures of the final outcome of the sliders!!! So i think someone needs to keep there promise teddy!

LilGonzo86 · « **Reply #55 on:** Jan 10, 2010, 09:45:25 PM »

gnarrkill · « **Reply #57 on:** Jan 15, 2010, 09:18:24 AM »

sliders are dope! i like the truck

LilGonzo86 · « **Reply #58 on:** Jan 24, 2010, 08:41:39 PM »

so after lots of thought and patience me and my bro purchased a lincoln 180 welder....
our first project a welding cart to suit our needs, i designed it, then me and my brother built it.
welds are crappy due to unexpierienced welding, but it works great.... it costed nada all the metal and wheels were
donated by my father, they were some old displays from his matress store in fresno..

LilGonzo86 · « **Reply #59 on:** Jan 24, 2010, 08:51:59 PM »

now i can start my real plans..... a tire carrier with built in shockmounts.... i am planning on mounting them through my bed....
