Chris's lil Red Truck

[SMKYTXN]

It's time to back half the Red Truck. Those pesky leafs have got to go.

Say goodbye to the flatbed.

The strings are pulled to provide reference points for the bed. Finding the end of the back half in space would be interesting without these points.

I'll post updates as I go. For now it's time to model the back half and all of the components to make sure they play nicely together.

Does he have all the hiems already? I have 4 big ass Ballistic Fab forged rod ends I need to get rid of. These ones. Forged Ballistic Rod End

2 with left hand thread, 2 with right hand, 4 bungs, and 2 brackets. Never used.. just wrapped in plastic. I'll make him a deal.

Thanks for the offer, but he's already brought me a box of 1.25" heims.

Here's what we're shooting for. This is a rough draft, but it'll give you an idea of what's going on.

It's all good. I just keep forgetting I have these things.

I will have a set of 63”chevys, shackles and mounts available if anybody wants them.

I may take them, they probably have more flex than I’m running.

Cool just let me know

We're zeroing in on the final design for the back half. I'm hoping to start bending tube early next week.

No weekend updates? I was expecting this thing to be done by now since the guys on TV can knock this out in a 30 minute episode.

30 mins per side. They do use a little time lapse here and there.

I played hookie this weekend and went out to the hill country, but I'm back at it today. I'm printing out my bend and cut sheets this morning and will start bending tube this afternoon.
