I pulled my hydro boost out of a wrecked duramax. Some 2500 and 3500 gas trucks have hydro boost as well.

Just grab a hydro boost from the junk yard. Mine was only $30 including the master cylinder. As for the front drive line angle unless you are using 4x4 on the road at speed a little steeper angle shouldn't hurt, or just do what chevy did for decades and use the double cardon joint. The...

Slow but still progress. A little more bumper work with working on an idea to bring it around the corners of the cab. It will have a chamfer instead of the sharp corner to better follow the curve of the cab. I finally decided where I can fit the fuse panel so the wiring can get done also.

It continues with a little front bumper progress and a few holes for lights, winch cable and dual 2.5 receiver mounts/recovery points.

All good ideas in this thread. But I still prefer to have two tanks on a vehicle. Build them out of 1/8 inch plate with shut off valves and then travel the off road with little worry.

Just add 6 gallons of lizard skin and that should keep it quiet. (i did it on my project in my build thread and it made a huge difference) :sunglasses: Be careful with truck bed liners inside a cab as they off gas and those fumes aren't good for anyone.

Indeed , the roaring herd of turtles is coming.

You should be able to adapt a later 70's k20/k30 sway bar without much issue. Just not sure how much of your articulation the with kill. My projects plan is more leafs and ride like a brick until loaded.:neutral:

King shocks on the old burban , if only the original designers could see the truck now. Must be like riding on a pillow.

He had better finish it. I am thinking the project should be called the "Marshmallow".

Rusty burbin got it exactly right "Awesomeness":sunglasses: It was going to be a flat bed any way due to the original being way past saving. So why not make it a much more usable dump bed. Plus how many truck loads of wood do you have to unload by hand before you say I wish could push a...

nice project

Project is still moving forward. -smoothing out some welds. -beginning on the bumper (it will have multiple angles at the ends to follow the body shape better) -the always fun electrical. -then finally sand down the outside and spray the thing finally.

Excellent to hear it is continuing . Keep at it.

Agreed it is a serious rig.

Interior coatings and paint done finally . On with the out fitting of electrical

Kicking it old school.

Sound insulation layers done, now the two layers of heat insulation.

Agreed and agreed. Maybe I’ll have it done before the snow flies.

Well still moving on it slowly, a third order of lizard skin was placed since the first inside layer turned out to be a bit thin. The goal is to attempt to keep the road noise and engine heat down as much as possible in the cab.
