This is my restomod longtime project . Please pm o copy in another forum here at gmt400 if you have tips tricks ideas etc.

Started out as a cheyenne 1991. Bought 2009 in descent shape. Run it as a daily driver for 2-3 years. After that it's been sitting on my driveway.
Started tearing it down a year ago.
Plan is to bag it and lay frame with 15" rims ,swap the v6 for a 350 and make it completly rust free.

I did all the cut outs in the front for tierod,controlarms,bags etc. Measured three times at the rear before removing rearaxle probshaft gearbox.
This is my first build when I tear everything down. Have done some modded cars,sleds,boats but never to this level

My goal is that the truck will be completly finished 2021. When the truck is 30year it wont have to go trough goverment vehicle control once a year anymore here in sweden
I'm on a budget but wont go stupid cheap.
Bought a universal 4-link kit on ebay with panhard bar,1 pair of airlift d2600 ,rear shocks, 1 2,5 gal airtank,cups for the front bags,relocate kit for front shocks

Let the fun begin [emoji3]
The frame was in pretty good shape. It was pretty thin out back behind the rear axle but it'll do
After search forums and sutch iI made my own kick-up

First I thought that the 4link bars looked short but it's just because I got the long bed so the frame is limo-long [emoji6]
The panhard bar was to short so I extended it 4" and bent it just a little so it would clear the diffcover
Also I couldn't get the shocks right at the rear,they would bottom out or top out. At this time the raw frame started to get a redish tone (summer more moist air...?!)so I had to quickly get it ready for paint. I will make a bolt in bar for the shocks that I can fine adjust later without having to grind down the paint

..oh yeah,also notch the rear gastank braket to get the clearance needed for layin out. Also made a bigger cutout for the probshaft. Think it turned out well [emoji847]
My airtank(2x2,5 gal) will be mounted under the bed with the valves. Haven decided yet on the compressors
