[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

I already knew that every one was gunna say pos, its like clockwork

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

thanks jester, I will keep posting pics I will keep tellin yall to fuck off and ill build it how I want, , , and I agree with about ten things u sy truck can go wrong quick with current set up, but with the 10 acres in back of my house a track ho and time , inwill have some fun tilnit breaks

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

Someones got to agree with me on the statement that gettin someone else's project or rig can be a real peice of work bits and ends and jimmy rigged and not set up right or half ass or expenses spared , that kinda thing, to take something like this u can say that is iffy and dangerous and turn it into something half decent

[hobospyder]

Do it. Prove the naysayers wrong.

 

Of course it's always fun to break other people's toys and make them your own too.

 

Let me drive it I bet I break it first go

I take bad ideas and make em into functional ideas all the time !

 

Crazy looking project dude , all you need to do now is keep the best , junk the rest and have a good time somewhere in the middle .

 

Should be interesting build , you got this .

i like the truck but where is the pic with the Ol E'40s

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

I took about what seemed like 3 hundred maybe more lbs of crap off this truck, cut off front u bolts with hacksaw took front blocks out, just sittin onnjacks now

I need to swap to the 40s on to my other 6 lug rims, the depth and offset of rims that 40s were on hit steering rod,,

I left the blocks in back there integrated with what the sway bay or link bar watever ud call it one on each side, nill take pictures tomorrow,

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

I'm takin body lift down to 3 inches I think that's legal in washington state , and floor will be rusted in spots so, got some metal to patchthat up and gunna cut spare mounts off parts truck and but extra 4 mounts on frame to cab and frame to bed, so Iit will be 3 imches instead of 6 not so much strain on bolts and lift and more sturdy and support this body won't go anywhere yes it will take 3 times as long to take cab off if I need but ehh

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

Redeye was righr abouttraction bars holding blocks or something not sure, do u no whatnis legal body lift size in Washington nstate didn't it change to 3 inches or something, not allowed to see frame

[]2eDeYe]

Not sure what's legal but I personally think if you can see light between the frame and the body while looking from the side then that is too much. 

 

 

The 2 inch body lift on mine is about as high as I think you would need to go. It allowed me to clock my t-case flat and my rocker protection is flush to the frame and rockers. 

 

 

You can see the 2" aluminum blocks (shiny bits near the shackles) and how the rocker protection tucks up to the body in this shot.
The rest of my lift is springs, well there is blocks in the back in this picture, but they are in the recycling pile now. 

 

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

Well cut out front u bolts and blocks were welded to spring perches and front leafs wow po was odd

So got shorter u bolts and took block out and scored 2 leaf springs from buddy that he bought with shackles to lift his toyota,

 

I would like to keep the 40s since dnt have funds at moment to buy more tires so I'm wondering if a 3 inch body lift would allow me to keep my 40 and not get hassled if I drive to Wal-Mart or costco for food every now and then or if I mame some sort of step running board to run along doors and cab to back of cab or even back tire to hide frame,, or is 6 inch legal now with washington road laws I have freind with 44s on his ford excursion full size pickup this things has huge body and suspension lift and has never been messed with once , of course his is not a 40 yr old rust machine lol .... I won't be flexing much if any I'm not a hard core wheeler or climber just a mud flingin every now and then

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

I've got the time and boredom I think I'm gonna bob the metal bed like toyotas do I think it would be a bad ass addition

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

I think my lift kit leaf springs and shackles will put my fron up to abot the same as back since I left the traction bars and enclosed lift blocks

You just need mudflaps and that will keep them from hassling you for the most part. Well that and have all your lights functioning correctly. 

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

Alright will I have an old mac truck in back field with mudflaps I can use, just got to have bud weld em on real quick, do I need ones for back and front or just back

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

Yea ill need 2 make sure lights work, that's a for sure, and insurance and liscense and tabs lol

[]2eDeYe]

Rear mudflaps are required. Just make sure they cover the tire across the tread and down just below the center line. 

 

Here is how I did mine if it helps, your 40"s may require a bigger flap :lol: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally got harassed about my tiny mud flaps. I think this should do the trick.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do these mudflaps make my ass look fat? 

 

 

 

They slide into the stock cross member, using a ratchet strap to hold them in until I can get some holes drilled for the pins I picked up.
 

 

 

 

 

Now I've cut the cross member off that they sleeved into and have to come up with another mounting system. 

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

Well this frame and running gear is in my driveway,cab and bed are off I wanted to Bob the frame shorten it massively length wise and width and cut out some major crap and make the frame the size of a mini cooper essentially just enough room for motor Trans and what not

 

 

 

I want to remove rear and front windshields and cut about a foot or two right off this middle of this fucker and weld back together and make a super small mini 620 4x4

 

 

 

I've already got rubber window sealing off and going to take some pictures and measurements and start CUTTING,I'm talking about the hood the bumper the core support the bed it's all going to minimized severely

 

 

 

Some of you are thinking wtf am I smoking haha,well this will either work or not wither way it's a scrap pile to Me so if i can make something unique and sweet

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

Sorry redeye I used your truck pics real quick just to do a quick drawing of what metal I would be taking out and bobbing everything that's just cab and bed,still have whole frame after that,so I got some work ahead of me,but it I think a mini mini 620 would be frigging awesome

[]2eDeYe]

I think these cabs are small enough as it is. I would go with a bob dovetail and narrowed front. 

 

:devil: 

 

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

Haha that's cool,a lot of what I'm wanting to cut out is rust and yes they are small buti wanted to make a single person datsun 620 if you understand and throw it on a small 4 wheeler frame or the stock 4x4 frame but everything shortened severely

[tubbedbaggedstockfloored65]

I do like that idea tho to ,I wanted a single seater datsun. 620 where I can open both doors
