I've haven't been able to do a ton on my truck because I've been working with my dad on one of his c10's and various other random crap that needs to be done.

but i did start on boxing the frame where the bag mounts are going to end up.

[kristianbolster]

i have some more trimming to do but I'm not doing it until i get it tacked up

Good stuff, I love seeing fab work, especially on C10's.

Keep it coming!

thanks man, although i can't really take any credit for the fab work i just measure and cut everything and my dad welds it. i am useless with a welder

they are super sweet. i assumed they were expensive because i saw this pro surfer from australia that had one and instead of getting one in AUS he shipped it back home

my dad wanted to put his C10 on the side of the house so i pulled mine out and i was able to see a lot better on how its looking on the ground

today i also got the truck up on jack stands so we can finish welding the from bag mounts and the rear bag mounts and various other things. i also got the metal i am boxing the frame in the rear with all trimmed up and ready for final welding.

more updates. after measuring everything and getting everything clamp down my dad went through and welding everything that can be welded at this time. i need to get my watts link and get that all mocked up before i can completely finish welding everything in place.

then i put the bags in to see what it looks like aired out. i really like where i ended up mounting the bags. i think it will end up being a super clean look

[kristianbolster]

also cool think when i first put my truck on jack stands the way it is now i could push the back end of my frame down a few inches with my hand now since i just put the notches in and boxed that small section i can stand and bounce on the back of the frame and it hardly moves at all

alright (to the 2 people have read this build thread) i have HUGE updates on the truck for this weekend
