holy bamf gas tank, batman!

are you going to keep the stock tank and add this one, or replace it? if you get rid of it, you could make that area into storage or something...

 

Yeah its pretty big, I'm thinking of just running the new one. Yeah I was planning on building some storage bins into the floor.

 

awesome. with you, i've come to realize that any idea you have will eventually make it to the rig

 

Heh, yeah I try. Sometimes they aren't the best though.

So I finally took off the grill because it kept shaking loose and started with something new for it.

 

nice. real nice.

 

That looks pretty damn cool! I wish I would have come across this build sooner.

 

looks sweet, need some vids of this rig on a trail run!!!

 

Yeah I'll get some vids soon, just need to finish up the driveshaft and other little things.

 

i just thought of something

1) are you going to make/finish the front grill?

2) is that enough air flow?

just curious...

 

Well since I made the grill of 22ga steel I just added some 16ga bracing on the back so it wouldn't be really flimsy then painted it. I'm not going to really put that much time into it since it will probably all change when I get around to building a bumper. As for air flow, it should be just fine, atleast 1/4 of the radiator isn't covered by the grill.

 

And if it starts annoying you, just change it to something else. Seems like trying anything is the theme to this build, which is why its so AWESOME!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

 

Thanks, yeah I have learned so much while working on this truck to get it to this point, I just like trying different things.

Finished up my square drive shaft and mounted it in the freezing cold.


Just to show the clearances and the reason for the hood.

 

you are like....amazing....dude. subscribed

 

alright, i give. can you have your machinist make another one of the pilot bearing adapters? that's the only thing holding me up at this point.

 

I'll give him a call tomorrow, hopefully he still has all the specs on file.

 

sweet. was hoping to start the swap next weekendish

 

Hey truckman I talked to the machinist, he says hes swamped and the soonest he could get it done is 2weeks out.

 

Great work! subscribed.

 

Subscribed! I wish I had your type of vision for the future of my truck! You took that beat up old 81 and turned it into one of the most unique trucks I have ever seen! I am extremely envious of your creative ideas and fabrication skills. Keep up the fantastic and imaginative work!

Best

 

that's all good. booked 75 hrs flat rate last week and it doesn't look like its going to let up. so my truck is going to have to wait. what kind of cost am i looking at to get the part and it shipped to 98226?
