[altereddezignz]

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum and just wanted to shoe you the build that i started Friday. 4-15-2011.. I will update often with alot of pictures....

I will be converting it to 2wd from 4wd.
Keeping the 6 lug bolt pattern.
All custom interior.
Bagging.
Built motor and tranny.

List goes on and on.

Here are pics of when i first picked it up 4-15-2011

Well this is after a little work 4-16-2011

I did not really notice this when i purchased it.

Looks like you've got some work ahead of you on that one but I'm subbed to see how it turns out

 

[altereddezignz]

Thank ya. i have a fullsize 2wd so im gonna stub the front. so not to bad.

One more thing. I am not real sure i want to body drop this. But i do think i am going to cut off alot of the lower section of the frame and run 2x4 tubing on the inside.. This would allow me to drop another 3 inches untill the frame hits. Worst case i may have to z the frame later and lower the body mounts a little. Not looking really to drag rocker i mean it would be nice and all but y...... its a kinda conflicting decision.

Well made a little bit of progress yesterday. Not a whole lot.

 

[07Burb]

Well, you got 'er off the frame!

 

[altereddezignz]

Guess ya have to start somewhere..

 

[07Burb]

Will be cool once complete, man!

 

[altereddezignz]

New frame should be here early next week.

How did you get it on the trailer??

 

[07Burb]

You're getting a whole new frame? I thought you were stubbing the front of one on to the old frame....

Welcome to the site. Where you from?

LOL well i jacked the front part of the body up and placed a 4x4 in between it. then jacked the back up and did the same. The jacked each side up one at a time and then put concrete blocks under the ends of the 4x4's.. Very hard and very time consuming... Rolled the trailer under it and used the 4x4's to keep the body off the trailer.

 

[07Burb]

whatever works right! That body is probably no light piece(s) of metal!!

 

[altereddezignz]

Was gonna do all kinds of cutting on the frame but i found a perfect 2wd frame and they will bring it to me with all the front suspension on it for 350.

Nice! That'll save you a lot of time! Then you can sell your complete 4wd frame and recoup some project money. Nice score on that dude

Hell no it was not light.. HEAVVVVVVYYYYY. It still has a complete untouched interior in it lol...
Oh i am from North East Arkansas.

Poor mans method of body removal..

 

[07Burb]

[Young28]

Yeah made it alot heavier but also made it stronger since everything and doors and all glass ties the whole body together. No twisting or tweaking.
