Was that all you had to do to lay it out, or do you have to do something with the front?

Truck is looking good!!:rocking:

[numatk_07]

Dang, I wish I could see the pics. Only 3ish weeks til I get back to the states and can use a computer without a filter. Are you making that notch big enough to lay 22's?

[Bagged 04]

Sweet! Looking good bro!

[Marcos]

Going to look sweet man. You going to go ahead and raise the floor or cut/cover it?

Well I am just gonna cut this one open and leave it as is, it needs so much bodywork from dings and when I had to flare out the driver fender because of the panhard bar... I am gonna try to buy a new bed and try to get Todd from Lowboy Motorsports raise it up for me...

[bizzy260]

I absolutely love the raised bed floor idea keeps everything looking clean and neat. Great work so far man! best of luck to ya on getting it finished up soon

[Marcos]

Thanks, I hope to finish it up soon.

Forgot to add this pic, I welded some plate to the side of the tranny crossmember that way I lay frame not bolts... Worked out well, just need to take it back out and coat it with some paint...
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4378/img0166vd0.jpg
So I will be laying flat frame once I get it worked out..

[Bagged 04]

Sweet!

[TOFNLO]

[AZdragginsoon]

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f194/okifatguy/Picture1066.jpg

[TOFNLO]

dont need to notch for the arms at all with 20's

[Marcos]

:word: I only need to notch for the tie-rods since I have 20's, I will worry about the 22's at a later date lol...

[99gixxer]

[Marcos]

:lol: I should of took some days off to work on it more than just a day a week...:(

[Rafaels6]

when is the next day for some cutting im off thursday and this saturday and sunday

[Marcos]

I am gonna do some cutting tomorrow, hopefully I get the driveshaft notch done and then maybe the bridge bars. So on Saturday we can maybe raise the gastank...

[RaiN]

Are you using stock arms with drop spindles?

What about shocks?

[Marcos]

Stock arms, drop spindles... the front of my truck is practically laying out, All I need was to take out the Bumpstops I put so it would look even since the back didn't lay out.

As for shocks they are good where they are at, I am running gabriel 81340, Monroe #32126, It rides awesome though.

[AZdragginsoon]

im tryin to run 22's on mine and it doesnt lay do i notch for the control arms?

[Marcos]

Yes you do, I will see if I can find you some pics.

[96thebossgrnchv]

is that 2x4 tubing for the notches? looks good man

[Marcos]

Yes, yes it is. I think 3/16 wall. I didn't measure it.

[96thebossgrnchv]

cool, i have some 2x3 notches, 1/4" thick ready to put on mine when the time comes, whenever that'll be lol

[Marcos]

Hurry up!

[ikon]

phuckin sweet man!

[stealthcammo1]

flux core? glad to see your layin it out.

[Marcos]

Yes.

[AZdragginsoon]

yea if you could find sum pics that would be awsome.....

[Marcos]

Update... Okay I got the Driveshaft notch done, and the bridge bar welded up, also did the tie-rod notch but didn't get a chance to plate it...

The front still lays on the y-pipe since when the my brother is the one that took it to get raised, they didn't know what the hell he wanted done... so I need to get it raise properly.

Here are the pics...
Before bridge after the driveshaft notch... 2x6 under the tire to simulate 22's.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j255/marcos_65/Laying%20out%20progress/IMG_0229.jpg

Let me know what you guys think. I still need to raise the damn gas tank but hopefully on saturday.

[eviltwin]

holy drive shaft angle:eek:

[99gixxer]

nice. is that a 10" notch? cant wait to see it with the bed on. are you switchin to 22s or thats just in case you ever feel the need?

[low94]

definately do something about the pinion angle. mine was just as bad and now the pinion seal is leaking.

[ur2hi]

nice progress

[Rafaels6]

gezz your doing all the work already better leave some for saturday

[Bagged 04]

Sweet. Looks damn good. Definitly need to check that angle on your pinion.

[Marcos]

nice. is that a 10" notch? cant wait to see it with the bed on. are you switchin to 22s or thats just in case you ever feel the need?

It was a 10" notch, we cut it down to 8". And I want 22's just no $, so i just set it up for that, I need to drill and tap it for a bumpstop.

gezz your doing all the work already better leave some for saturday

Dont worry, we still need to raise the gas tank and put the bed on. Where is that place you got your y-pipe raised again?

Sweet. Looks damn good. Definitly need to check that angle on your pinion.

Thanks guys, I will definatly check the pinion angle.

What should be the angle on it again? 4º?

[numatk_07]

Thanks guys, I will definatly check the pinion angle.

What should be the angle on it again? 4º?

I think 1-2 degrees down at ride height.

[Marcos]

Cool I will check it tonight. Sorry you cant see the pics, I will try to upload them into Cardomain but my files are too big so I have to resize them first.

[Rafaels6]

i didnt get it raised but i need to that place i was taking about is muffler masters 55dr and glendale

[Marcos]

Man, they better do good work!

[low94]

A carrier bearing spacer will help the pinion angle too.

[DRAGGIN95]

Hey Marcos, I see over at gm fullsize that you posted a question about steering gears, I just wondered what you decided about the sport version. Take it easy

[96thebossgrnchv]

think he already has a carrier bearing spacer, lookin good man

[Rafaels6]

Man, they better do good work!

they take you out under your truck so you can show them what you want.... wheni took my truck for the muffler they didnt tacked it in and had me check first to see if thats what i wanted

When are you going to take yours maybe i will take mine in to might as well.... ill try to run down there tomorrow and see how mch it would run

[Marcos]

A carrier bearing spacer will help the pinion angle too.
Well I thought my driveshaft crossmember I made would be tall enough but I guess not... its was about 1" taller than the one I took out.

EDIT: Nevermind 1/2"

Hey Marcos, I see over at gm fullsize that you posted a question about steering gears, I just wondered what you decided about the sport version. Take it easy

No I need to sell a few things than I should be back in business lol. Hopefully by the end of the month...

[Marcos]

I will try to maybe take it saturday if we can get the bed on. i am gonna try to get the gas tank raised by Friday night.

[DroppedAsAChild]

Lookin awsome man cant wait to see it finally laid out

[Marcos]

Thanks, few more days... few more days...

[numatk_07]

Cool I will check it tonight. Sorry you cant see the pics, I will try to upload them into Cardomain but my files are too big so I have to resize them first.

Thanks for posting those and for the PM. It's looking good. I think we're all ready to see the bed on.:biggrin:

[Bagged 04]

Word going to look bad ass when its done.

[Marcos]

I hope so, Now I can't wait to try on some 22's, it wont be for a while though :(

[BagginA93chev]

looking good man! it will look really badass all layed out. oh and i still have that raised y pipe if ya want it.

[Marcos]

The raised y pipe will raise it above the framerails right?

[BagginA93chev]

i am almost 100 percent sure, i never was able to put it on my truck because i have headers. but others on this website told me that it raised it above the framerails and it would allow your truck to lay out.

[AZdragginsoon]

lookin good my trucks on the y pipe rite now too..... as soon as i get some more pics ill post them ithee 22's will look super good thats what i got....

[AZdragginsoon]

[Marcos]

Update: plug welded the notch in since I was bored... no pics though. I am too lazy... that is all.

[Marcos]

Only update I have is I raised the gastank, fixed an air leak I had that was bugging the sht out of me, and thats it. Pictures will be posted tonight since I forgot the camera at home.

EDIT: Also got some monroe shocks up front, they were holding me up also, now for sure I am on y pipe.

[Marcos]

:nopics:

[baggedcten]

Nice man keep up the good work cant wait to see the pics.

[CKTA]

The raised y pipe will raise it above the framerails right?


if he has the edelbrock raised y.....then yes, it will be above your frame rails. :cool:

[Dukemaster]

What did you have to do the front to get it to lay? Section the factory arms?

[Marcos]

Nothing, just a small cut for the tie rods, and there is a lip that needs to be trimmed off by the lower control arm... thats it, but i am also running spindles.

[Dukemaster]

yea im runing spindle in the also. Funny thing is I cant remember if I trimmed the lip off on the underside of the frame.

[Marcos]

I thought you layed? or just the tire you have is smaller?

[Marcos]

As promised, pics!

Gas tank raised, new shocks... Just need to pick up a flapper disc to knock off the surface rust to give it a coat of paint or something undercoating.

[e10pvmnt]

looks good! I like it!

Could you do me a favor tho? Can you get a pic' of how the rear link setup attach's to the axle? Is it just a couple of tabs or is it a dog bone style mount? Cause i want to convert my sd.com parallel 4 to a 6 link with the bag on the link bar. So if you could get a close up of the mount on the axle for the lift bar i'd appriciate it! Thanks man!

Oh again very nice setup! I like it! Looks 10x better now!

[96thebossgrnchv]

[99gixxer]

[Marcos]

Yeah I need to go to emissions on Friday so i might as well leave the bed off to get the smog test, than throw the paint on... than hopefully Saturady it will have a bed again.

[Bagged 04]

Looks damn good bro! Going to look sick with the bed on.

I guess i need to follow suite and get off my lazy ass to make mine fully lay and do a build thread.

[Marcos]

Yes I still have the swaybar. Check below for shock information.

lookin killer man!!

what shocks you be runnin up front?

Thanks all.

The ones I got are Monroe Gas-matic pn# 55818, They didn't have Monroe sensa tracs (pn#32126) in-stock so I am gonna try these gas matics.


They are for the rear of a 1978 Chevrolet Chevette

[Marcos]

Might as well add that I am gonna change the rear shocks soon to replace the ones in my kp kit. Sensa-trac 37073 or gas matic 59001

For the rear of a '01 Nissan Frontier

[95x-cab]

your truck is nice. would love to do that to mine someday.

[ikon]

do you know the full collapse height and extended height?

and let me know how you like those gas-matics im look for a good shock to throw up front. (Just got my relocators in saturday :))

[Marcos]

No doubt, maybe I can finally get that bumper from my moms house too:)

Compressed Length:11.750"
Extended length:19.375"
Travel Length:7.625"
Dust Shield:Yes

[Dukemaster]

How do you like the ride with those KP shocks that came with the kit? I hated mine ended up getting some monroe sensa tracks.

[Marcos]

How do you like the ride with those KP shocks that came with the kit? I hated mine ended up getting some monroe sensa tracks.

Well I kept hitting my notch so I am gonna see how it rides with the new notch in...

[BagginA93chev]

yah i really dont like the ride of the shocks that came with my kit either, and they started leaking fluid witch made them even worse. does anybody know what shocks work with the kp kit and ride really nice? soory dont mean to threadjack.

[Marcos]

Look at post 90

[BagginA93chev]

yah i saw that thanks. have you ran them before?

[Marcos]

The Duke ran the sensa trac and he said it rides awesome, thats what I am gonna change over too

[DRAGGIN95]

Hello, yeah the shocks that came with my KP kit were leaking brand new in the box, I now run blue monroes just their basic shock rides awesome.

[Bagged 04]

Im going to run monroes on my custom 6 link when ever i finally get the shocks on.

[Marcos]

OMG, it looks like crap, whats up with the rust!!
:whatever:
Its called surface rust, if you bothered to read my thread you would of known I still need to clean and paint it, thats whats gonna happen tonight.

[ikon]

OMG, it looks like crap, whats up with the rust!!
coming from the dude that claimed someone elses truck as his....rofl...

[Bagged 04]

OMG, it looks like crap, whats up with the rust!!

WTF? You can't be serious! Did your daddy say it looks bad or are you actually thinking for yourself today?

[Marcos]

[Rafaels6]

[TOFNLO]

lets see some pics with the bed on this bitsh :mushy:

[Marcos]

:word: I am stopping tonight to get a flap disc and paint and think I will smooth it all down tonight and give it a coat of paint also... than tomorrow morning, I can throw the bed on!

[TOFNLO]

sweetness, are flap disks super expensive down there?? here there like 5.xx a piece, good thing they sorta last for a bit

[Bagged 04]

:word: I am stopping tonight to get a flap disc and paint and think I will smooth it all down tonight and give it a coat of paint also... than tomorrow morning, I can throw the bed on!

Sweet before you do that you should go in and see if there are any holes you can plug weld to make that frame super smooth.

[Marcos]

Yeah they are pricey at 4.50 a piece.

[Bagged 04]

Another idea to make it look super clean. Finish boxing in the gas tank cross member. Just a thought bro.

[Marcos]

Sweet before you do that you should go in and see if there are any holes you can plug weld to make that frame super smooth.

Cool, I will check but I pretty much welded all the hole around the notch.

[Marcos]

Another idea to make it look super clean. Finish boxing in the gas tank cross member. Just a thought bro.

I really wanted to but i didn't have enough metal, and I plan to get the SD crossmember if they ever drop down in price or even if they would just sell the main crossmemeber and not that other piece that comes with it.

[Bagged 04]

Cool, I will check but I pretty much welded all the hole around the notch.

Make it a work of art! :aniteef:

I really wanted to but i didn't have enough metal, and I plan to get the SD crossmember if they ever drop down in price or even if they would just sell the main crossmemeber and not that other piece that comes with it.

I remember reading that. Scrap my idea then.

[Marcos]

lol, I just figured its not worth all the work if i am just gonna toss a new one in later.

[Bagged 04]

I agree.

[pOrk]

Looks great, any photos of the truck put back together?

[99gixxer]

what are you painting the frame with?

yeah flap discs are a bit expensive. i can only get them to last if i put 2 of them back to back to make them a little stiffer.

[Marcos]

Man I need bodywork:(

[97gmcextcab]

Feels to much better to be on the frame now "eh"!!

[Marcos]

Hell yeah, no more hitting the damn notch on bumps!!

[97gmcextcab]

I hated that lol. I would go to a show and lay it out while driving around, hit a bump. Clunk, cluck and then everyone would stare. Do you have the front of your box shimmed by any chance? I know I had to with mine to make the body lines line up better and it looks like you shimmed your also. May just be me...

[Marcos]

No, but i dont know why its off, I just need a new bed, this one is so beat up..

[Bagged 04]

:word: to the bodywork!

Damn look how much wheels your tucking now!

[Marcos]

Damn look how much wheels your tucking now!

:word: Hurry up rain!!!!!

[AZdragginsoon]

lay it rain.............

[RaiN]

^ LOL... God damn I suck at this.

I guess for now the truck is going to rest on the lower arm, I may get a smaller tire just to have the frame sit on the ground.

When I go up to 22's we'll make the appropriate changes to the front frame then.

[92 sierra slx]

is it the stock arm if so trim that a inch or two and lay dat bish out

[RaiN]

is it the stock arm if so trim that a inch or two and lay dat bish out


Stock arms and spindles.

The thing is I dont want to trim out of the frame just yet, when I plan on getting some tubular control arms and spindles later.

[92 sierra slx]

then trim the arm you got nothing to lose

[AZdragginsoon]

trim it or get drop spindels

[RaiN]

LOL... No pressure huh guys...lol

BTW, We're Threadjackin the crap outta this...lol

[Marcos]

:jacked:

[ikon]

:word:

[AZdragginsoon]

[99gixxer]

sweet marcos. now dont you wish you would have saved yourself all this hassle & layd frame when you first bagged it! goes to show you an obs can still look badass & tuck hard with what some guys call "little" 20s.

[GBodyGMachine]

[Marcos]

Well I am pretty much done, I just need to get some body work done...

[Bagged 04]

Body work! body work! Let's going going on it bro!

[cb_silverado]

nice truck man, looks good. I am planning on bagging mine here soon, so like the info..not sure what kit or parts i will use, cheaper the better,,lol my truck is already low on 20's but got to bag it soon..just air ride aint cheap.lol

[pooreboy87]

Hey marcos what notches did u have on ur truck originally? were they prefabed bolt-on ones?

[Marcos]

I got mine from Aims, but you can get them from AVS now... Now they were set up to be welded in, but I just drilled 4 holes on each side and they were strong as hell.

[pooreboy87]

Do u still have them?

[Marcos]

Nope sorry, I sold them the same day I took them off my truck..

[Izzy]

Looks great but I'm not real hip to the front mounts on your tanks. :cool:

[Marcos]

Yeah its actually just temporary since I am gonna redo it with 2-8 Gallon tanks to make up for losing my 3-5 gallon tanks. So plans are to mount 2-8 gallon tanks sideways.

[Chevy-Art]

Thanks for the answer I was about to ask the same question.
