ya the rims are unique heres some up dates.
i started my subfloor. im gonna trim the wheel wells out and lay sheet metal over a subfloor of
1x1 18ga square tub. i started the first top bars and center braces. the top 3 bars are welded to a plate i hand fab and welded in the 6 holes that where in the inside of the cab. they came out to 58 1/2 in each. i then welded in 4 cross piece at 19 1/2 apart. its level as can be i used a level and also used a piece of sheet metal and a longer bar to make sure it was level. im very happy with where i got today. on to the pics
theres gonna be alot of room under this section as i designed it that way so i can get to the link bars and bag brackets. enough that i can sit on the floor while the truck is on jack stands. and be in there working. not that im gonna make a habit of doing that but u get the idea.

welcome to the show brother. you really should be posting all this in a build thread.
i can't believe you left the truck floor open like that, and still drove around your family in it. if it was just you, well.....it's just your gray matter, but to bring others too.........
but @ least you're taking care of it now, and nice work so far. the white on white on white colour scheme is lookin' better now, w/the new chrome out front. gonna keep with the dark blue interior? would look sweet, IMO.

its staynin blue. i have never taken my son or daughter on other adults who knew it was like that so they made the choise. i finaly got a chance today to clean my garaged and then i desided to bust out the chop saw and the welder. its coming along nicely.
im also getting more and more ideas for the rest if you got any suggestions let me know.

well i cutt the back out and it was only gonna be like that for about a month or so....2 years later and im finally starting the new floor. the fumes arent so bad when your driving its bad at the red lights. it is pretty load with the road noise so i just blast my stereo and the subwoofer drowns the road noise out. only problem is then i cant hear for about 20 mins once im at work. hahah
thanks its been a long road. since i first bought this truck in december of 2003 when it was stock. it got stolen on xmass eve of that year and was recovered 3 days later after a few liquor stores were robbed. and then i just started slowly colecting parts.
just picked up a 2002 4 door blazer last saturday....SO NOW I OWN 2
