1BAD2K Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 well that is one way to look at it! I think I've got it figured out now. Gonna have a small custom hub centric spacer built. I really don't want to give up the brakes or the wheels, and this is my only option besides having two new front wheels buitl, which is out of the question.

Thickcajun Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I need to hit the lottery in a bad way lol...My truck has 220K and i have just about sunk all the money in it i can muster....There's so many ideas and things that i would like to do but in my trucks case a full on resto would be in the works to do it right... But i have been seeing a lot of nice RCSB that are really drawing my attention... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yeah I kinda wish I would've kept my SS, but I sold it to build my single cab. Now that's what everyone is doing and they are getting as common or more so than real SS trucks. Sometimes I just wanna sell it and get a z06 and keep it stock lol. I'm about to the point of not wanting to drop anymore cash into this thing, but maybe when I get it all out together it'll be worth it.

kaze_v8 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Gonna look real nice. When are you installing the claddings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 So clean! Cant wait to see all done and droppedMe either lol. I picked up that spare differential , and spoke with a local chassis builder today. I think I'm going to be able t drop it off Friday with him and he is going to narrow it, install aND set up a tru trac with 4.10 gears and hardened stage brand axles and all new bearings. After that, it's on! Gonna look real nice. When are you installing the claddings? I keep telling myself soon, but after the suspension work and brake install, I'm going to have a little paint work done and I'll be ready to install the cladding. It sucks bc when I started this project you didn't see as many or more 2 doors clones as real SS trucks. Now they seem normal to see lol. I need to get mine finished up.

AKSSS Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I just got to tell you! This is an incredible and timely build! I know the kinda time it takes to do all the things that you are doing! Good job on this build. I am now wishing I had done everything I have done to my SSS into a Std Cab NBS. Good job so far on your Truck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job so far on your Truck!! Thanks man, I appreciate it! I've had a few setbacks, and had to wait to get new parts or whatever I needed. I like doing stuff right the first time so I've had to wait a bit on a few things, so I could do it how I wanted to. It's actually moving along again and as soon as I get my diff back from the chassis shop, I'm going to put it in a install the new suspension and brakes. I'm looking forward to finally seeing this thing low with the vette brakes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
