We are located in Peoria, AZ, and can custom fab up any bumper configuration you'd like...

Nice build! A cummins suburban always seemed like a perfect expo vehicle to me. Drivers side drop front axle also makes perfect sense...things get tight on the passenger side really quick. Close...Rob Bonney Fabrication---aka rube bonet on alot of forums...:) cummins motor mounts and frame...

Well stop by Dave! Scout will be here for a couple days yet. Might give you more motivation to finish up a certain cruiser project...

Scout has been on the road for a few weeks, there are still(!) details to finish up. If anyone has a pristine 1977 Scout grill...I am looking for one. I purchased another scout to get factory tilt column, green steering wheel, and plastic...but the parts haven't come back to me yet. We also...

Good fabricator near you, could build whatever you want http://www.shaffersoffroad.com/blog/

First off....this is not one of my "typical" builds...LOL. The rules of the game only allow $2015 to buy the truck, and $2015 to modify the truck. Labor was unlimited for most of the teams, but in my case could not be performed by me without that adding to the labor bill. That is where the...

Just a few pics of the truck my buddy's kid built at the shop for CTC this year. We drove 6-700 miles around az in a few days, with a lot of dirt in between the road portions. Dodge never skipped a beat, and it has been my daily driver work truck since the trip while the Kid is finishes...

Sorry! Life and work have gotten on the way of updating this thread...working on the projects has taken precedence over documenting lately. I received an update from the paint shop; final polish, body alignment, door assembly, etc are almost done. Supposedly heading to glass shop next, as...

Yes. My custom bumpers can be built any way you prefer.

I ran the fuel lines and rear brake line through the trans tunnel, using line clamps I machined out of plastic. It allowed them the greatest protection, and kept them as far from the exhaust as possible.

After the front suspension was sorted, it was time to start figuring out the back half of the truck. The rear springs would need tweaking, but no way of knowing what to do until we got some close figures for weight. With the camper off, I finished up the deck on the roof rack. The owner...

Nearly full flex when testing, couldn't turn any more right due to interference with bumper/ inner fender portions. All resolved now!

The bulkhead fittings were from vintage air, clean little pieces. They had plenty of reach for thick firewalls, probably 1/2-3/4 inch IIRC. A little cheaper overall than using AN bulkheads, and the fittings correspond with the all the other o ring AC fittings.

Thanks all, for all the compliments! I really like the package too. These new regular cabs have a LOT of interior room. Nothing fancy or exotic on the center console. A Tuffy console with a few adaptations...but a Console fridge seems ideal to me.... That is the bed to farm truck. It...

The mess is slowly getting sorted out. New parts and nos everywhere...from the clips that hold on the defroster duct to windshield wiper motor, everything is new or rebuilt. AC and heater lines power steering and arb compressor tucked into the corner Ac unit in place, I still need to...

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy! I hadn't realized how long this thread had gone dark, but mucho progress has been made between here and there. First some pics as the truck sits today, geared up and ready for wiring...

Basically, what is going on right now is a big mess! Plumbing has started, with the vast majority of the supplies coming from goodridge. Cu/ni was chosen for the brake lines, every system in the scout will be brand new. Seats were recovered with NOS fabric Plumbing hose chosen for its...

Thanks guys. I have been swamped with finishing up another project, so progress has been slower than I'd like. I will post some pics tonight...

Once again, thanks for all the compliments!

Yes, those are cats. Goal was too keep this thing quiet and clean smelling for idling through the woods. The exhaust manifolds were cast stainless replacements from Speedway ( http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Tru-Ram-LS1-Exhaust-Manifolds-Unpolished,53710.html). As far as getting work done, I do...
