Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

Dave mounted the air system while I was on Vacation and it looks exactly like I wanted to look.
It's mounted on a tubular chassis so it will remain on the chassis when the cab and the bed are removed
Here is the top view
You can see my idea for the bed and I couldn't be happier with it.
This is the frame work that will support the new bed floor.
Brakes - What can i say. Precisions Brakes did and awesome job on them. This is the final front brake caliper and it is an exact match for the rear caliper something we need it we are going to show the truck.
Rear Brakes going on.
The exhaust is almost finished all we need to do is cut the end of the tailpipe.
You can see the transition from the round to oval tailpipe. I think Dave did and incredible job joining the two pieces.
If we need, we will now be able to remove the mufflers.
Moving on to the front suspension. I installed the Bear Tracker Tie Rod ends and sleeve. What a nice piece.
A quick picture of the trans pan installed and check for clearance issue's
I saved the best for last "the Wheels". The tool that we used for mock up was perfect. It nailed the offset on the front wheels on the first try. I can't wait to do another truck.
Here is what the truck is going to look like when the air suspension is deflated.
There is a minor vlave stem clearence issue which can easily be resolved with a set of low profile valve stems from Weld Wheels.
No clearence issues on the rear wheel.
we decided to go with the sticky outy look on the wheels.
No really once the tires are mounted we will narrow the rear diff.
That's it for this week. I've got a bunch of parts to order and I need to get the wheels back to Billet Specialties so they can weld them up for me.
