One more teaser shot. I will finish up the trim, and start getting all of my paraphernalia hung on the walls and post finished shots with furniture. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

The boards were planed on both sides to clean them up and remove the majority of any contaminants that were visible. They were stained with a combination of 3 colors, Early American, Red Oak, and Gunstock. No sealer. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

The pallets were sourced for free from a buddy who works construction and gets daily deliveries on pallets. I stripped 30 pallets and ended up with 254 finished boards. At the completion of the stove area I have about a dozen useable boards left. I really wanted a darker weathered grey...

I haven't done much on the truck recently with hunting season and some house project to prepare for the holidays. Before- golf themed wall paper. My pup Dodge modeling for you. This basement had been unused/storage since we moved in. Turning it into a mancave area with a rustic cabin...

Another busy day. Got the hitch mostly fabbed up. Need to lay quite a few welds tomorrow on the bench before welding in on the truck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Played with the new toy a bit tonight. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Took a break from working on the truck and went to the mountains for the weekend, my old man picked up a new toy to fill the garage. The pups seem to approve. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

A little more progress yesterday until my saw blade burned up cutting the tube. Waiting on a replacement. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Little more progress. Need to try turning the heat down, welds are undercutting slightly. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

This is the design I came up with. I made changes to what most guys do. They usually weld a single tube from frame down to the rear and then weld bars front and rear right to the axle tube. I wanted a strong bolt in design so thats why i am using double uprights and 4 3/4" bolts on each side...

Well the rear is tacked in permanently. Time to add more tube to beef up the frame and support the rear in front and back. My welds are getting better, still not perfect but they will hold. Miller 211 gets good penetration on the frame and 1/4" wall tube. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A...

I plan to bring it up to about 5200 on the line and under load down the track it should settle in about 4500. I have a buddy who likes life on the edge and he cracks about 6300 coming off the line. Talk about sounding like its going to come apart. That thing screams. Sent from my...

The motor is a standard 5.9L cummins that was bored .020 over to clean up some scoring on the walls. The pistons are from Mahle Motorsports with a wider bowl, and .250" deep flycuts to clear the valves due to the lift and duration of the camshaft, the pistons were also cut to bring compression...

This solid subframe "suspension" is about the most involved fabrication I have ever taken on, and probably ever will for that fact. I like to do as much of my own work within reason, but I know my limits and my hobbies don't need me to get too much more involved than where I am today. Sent...

Ive worked under a 2 post with heavy trucks alot. Between rolling on the floor to get the arms set, and always having to use stabilizing jacks I got tired of it. Recently did some work on my daily driver on a 4 post at a friends shop and found it handy to have a large bench type work surface...

Northeastern corner of Maryland. Pa and Delaware are just a few minutes drive away for me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Made some progress. I ended up adding a 50amp dedicated welder circuit to the garage, so now we can run the welder to its full power with no worries. I've been doing some cutting and drilling here the last few days getting some brackets fabbed up and ready to weld this rear under the frame. My...

I posted the image as an example, but if provided as a CAD file I am not putting any dimensions on it, the CAD (dxf) file can be loaded directly into CAM software and used for production. The website I used does an instant quote off of the uploaded .dxf file and will show you a 3D rendering of...

I am trying to get some brackets cut for my pulling truck and I found a website which lets me upload my CAD file, and pick a material. I need 4 brackets and the price for them to be cut from 3/8" CRS is $630+ shipping. If i order one extra to throw in the trash, the price gets cut in half...
