GBrown 1867 Build

[Glassman]

Gordon, I'm jealous you got to drive rsv1 was this after I had broke off mid day after the incident to get the trailer ?. So now that you have the inside scoop with the linked rear end and the fact rsv1 can soak up about anything it must also loose some of the ground contact feel us lesser trucks have never felt. Would you say it's harder or easier to dfift this type of truck ?

Connor told me the Raptor cab has a few more welded in supports and the inner door skins are different. When they built RSV1 they reused Raptor door parts. They had to cut the F150 doors apart and weld all the Raptor window parts in. He said it was a huge PITA and he didn't want to go that route again.

When I am down there and I see the cabs apart I will ask more questions and get an answer for you. Will also take some pics.

That makes sense for the SCABs, because lack of "B" pillar, but I am guessing that the SCREWs are the same bodies?

man, glad y'all are ok. And good info on the insurance...

Looking forward to following your build and rise from the ashes...

Thanks. Hopefully I will be able to start posting pictures soon. The new cab is there, links are made, custom 42 gallon fuel cell is made, all eight of the kings shocks are there and the only thing we are waiting on is the currie rearend. The truck is currently at the body shop having the frame straitened before it gets cut in half to start linking it.

I think you're going to need a bigger tank than that! You still own me 5 gallons from that Carson run

Um and my 5 gallons. Just add a custom syphon.

I imagine it will be well worth the wait for this new truck.

Been a long wait. The links, fuel cell and shocks are finally in. Still waiting on the currie rear end. The truck is back from having the frame straitened and the new doors skinned with the Raptor specific inner skin.
The rebuild has officially started. Starting to tear it apart and the roof is cut off.

So does this mean it will be ready for the Carosn 500 ? Or is that just to soon and your shooting for El Bandito
