CCLB project

[BigRed97]

back in may i picked up a CCLB 2wd with a worn out V10 for short money!($1,500)

the plan is to swap almost everything out of my 99 into this one

it needed a bed, scored a brand new one for $300

planning on going with 05+ axles/suspension

started cleaning up the rear frame while the bed is off

got it all cleaned up and coated with SEM rust seal (simillar to POR15)

recently got a little accomplished....slower than originally planned...
cab is gutted, getting a little body work done, and ready for sound insulation, and painting all the jams and engine bay....

06 rear axle is under with stock springs for now (08s to be swapped later)

thats it for now, hope to have some significant work done by next weekend..

progress....engine bay cleaned and painted, sound insulation started(boy is that tedious work!)

Nice project you got going there. Don't forget to get that gas tank out of there and get one that has some diesel in it.

[BigRed97]

Nice project. Seems like ones like this always end up taking longer then expected. Main thing of course is to get everything you want done in it before it goes back together. I hate tearing **** apart twice:doh:. On the tank the gas fuel pump mounts to the bottom of the tank in a plastic circle made into the tank. You can modify it to work by cutting that out of the bottom, but if there is nothing wrong with the your other tank I would just use it. Hope it helps.

my other tank is the smaller one, i'd like the larger capacity....i'll take a look inside to see what i can do

Great project! I love seeing these trucks completely gone through from top to bottom, cleaned up and modified!

Nice project! I am working on a similar project with my 350. Got it all stripped down, but started on the 450 so it has been sitting just waiting.

What kind if sound deadening did you use?

Also any more info on the paint you used for the frame? I am hoping to get mine sand blasted in next couple of weeks.

sound deadening is a combo -
-RaamMat, PhatMat that some buddies had left over was used on the firewall, front floors, roof, and large square inside the doors.
-A sheet of some dual layer foam/dense rubber mat was added to the firewall over the butyl materials.
- then for the rear floors and back of cab I cheaped out and got a roll of the peel and stick roofing stuff from HD. (its surprisingly close to the PhatMat in consistancy and weight)

I still plan on covering everything over in a dense closed cell matting.

I can get more info on the rust coating next time im at my shop. but its made by SEM

progress...

the jams got the first bit of color applied, more color and clear will go on tomorrow.

then covered in a dense "gymnastic rubber" closed cell foam...

 

[BigRed97]

got the carpet, rear pannel cover, and a most of the plastic on the RH side installed

and got the dash out of my e99 and installed in the CC

 

[Cory@RPHC]

[BigRed97]

thanks!

got a little more done today...



fender wells, battery trays, and engine bay wiring all installed..

and spent some time (that should have been spent on something more important)cutting up the headliner to install the 08 over head console. (still needs a little trimming to clear the sun visors, and then dye to match)
