Sides 1980 4x4 Build

Good luck with the build man. Looking for an old pickup like this or older myself.

 

Nice so far. Got to start somewhere!!!

 

Looks good man, similar to mine when I started. These trucks are alot of fun.

 

Looking good! Can't wait to see the future progress.

 

So I haven't had a chance to do to a whole lot to my truck but I did get my door panels built, they didn't turn out perfect but they look a lot better than the originals.

 

I haven't made a whole lot of progress but I have made some, I got my fenders cut, more body work done, and also orders some BashFab sliders ordered!







The drivers side is almost done so I went to the local paint store and got some paint mixed so I'll be ready to shoot some color when I get the passenger side done, the passenger side is just gonna be a lot more trouble.. Here are some pics of what I gotta fix.




I cut the rust out and my plan was to weld in a piece of sheet metal but it was harder than I thought so I just gave up till I find the motivation to start again.

 

Here's a few more:

 

Got a little more bodywork done.











Pulled some dents out..

 

Started getting some planning together for my winch bumper..



Also can someone tell me what's missing from my truck in this photo?




I knew the ride was a little harsh and I didn't even notice the shock was missing until today, there isn't even a tower but on the driver side the shock and tower is there.. I'm confused as to why the passenger side is missing. Oh well good excuse for some hoops and bilstiens.

 

Tubing for you guys sliders will be here Tuesday and should be in Alabama around the 25th! I can bend you some shock hoops if youd like too get some on the frame rail and shoot you the shock tabs too!

Looking good so far, ive got a little body work to do on the 83 im working on but should finish a good bit of it up this week to include bobbing and making a rear bumper for it!

Subbing for progress!

Your getting one of the sets that are 63" correct? I noticed on the one im doing now that the kickout sticks out around 1.5" past the tire but ill come back over here and shoot an update tomorrow hopefully, got some stuff to do in town in the AM

 

She's looking good man, get it painted hah

 

Thanks Chad! I am getting a set of the 63" and I'm pretty excited, I can't wait to get this bodywork done and on to something better than sanding! I will def holler at you when I get ready to do my suspension for some hoops!

This is my lil bros bobbed '83 that your building the longer set of sliders for
