:shrug:

should have renamed this secret farm truck build

 

[silverbullet4x4]

Nicely done, I have always wanted to do something like this but in a CCSB configuration. I'm jealous, the front end looks sick.

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

I think we have issues.... well at least Mawwwk does LOL. Had some fun with white salvage/north farm truck (Thats what I'm calling it) tonight....

pics are crappy and out of focus but:

we had some fun "taking dents out of the bed"

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

Thanks for the pictures josh, was good having you guys with us this weekend.....And i thought we discussed this, we were trying to remove the dents from the old bed...clearly not working!

good think i picked this up yesterday.....

dont judge how i trailered it home, was a little frustrated after driving 3 hours that the bed didnt fit on the trailer....should have measured!

but got the bed home safe and sound!


have also been kicking around some ideas

Just by looking I could have told you that the bed wasn't going to fit. I recently sold a bed off a 71 Chevrolet C10 to a guy who showed up with a similar trailer. The way he loaded it was much more sketch than that, but hey, he paid me for it, it's his now, and not my responsibility to haul back 8 hours through the mountains. :badidea:

Looks like an 08+ bed though, how is that going to look with the 99-07 fenders?

we ended up making it around the block befor i pulled over and restrapped the entire thing, after that it was solid and wasnt going anywhere.

as far as the body lines, should look pretty good, the bed fenders and body lines are a little more bumped out, but all and all should line up pretty good.

 

[Vader's Fury]

I think it is going to look a little off with the front fenders but will wait to see it before final judgement.

 

[powerstrokedkid87]

here was a picture i found befor i bought the bed, all and all looks to line up pretty well, i even have been looking into the idea of maybe swaping 6.7 doors and put power windows and locks in the truck....but thats for another time!

 

[powerstrokedkid87]

finally got the old bed off last night....what a mess that took....there was not nly about 2 inches worth of dust and much in the bed, but when i pulled the liner out...there was all kinds of interesting artifacts....non the less, the old bed is off, i hope to get the bumper off tonight, and steam clean the frame for some fresh paint!

for as dirty as the rest of the truck was, the frame is in pretty good shape

 

[jdc753]

Looking Good Mark!!

Should be a fun truck when its all finished up. Maybe even hang a 11+ front clip on it, but I am sure that is a bit above the budget.

 

[jwlandry]

Looking good. Those fuels would look great on there.

 

[powerstrokedub]

Those fuels would make that truck so sick. Glad to see this project plugging along still!

 

[powerstrokedkid87]

yes shes still comming along....time and weather have not been on my side...and once all the parts for red truck come in....that will take top priority to get done! But this one is comming along niceley, going to the painter this week for some minor body work, and repainting of the front end. Apparently the autobody shop mixed the wrong color! Thats why its a very super white.

 

[powerstrokedkid87]

Truck was steam cleaned this weekend, and taken up to our painter. He will be PTM the rear bumper, and re-doing the front end due to a color issue. Also the frame will be getting a coat of flat black. should be back by the end of the week, and new bed should be on shortly as well.

 

[powerstrokedub]

Good deal! Have you sold that jeep yet?

 

[powerstrokedkid87]
