I want to take some "blue prints" of some sliders to a fab shop and get them to make me some sliders. Does anyone have the measurements, pics, diaghrams, etc.

Thanks

I can send you pictures tomorrow when it is light out. Use your fiberglass covers as a templet for the bolt holes.

I had a set made out of 2mm stainless steel. They are hollow and can carry liquids or be used as air tanks. If you decide to get someone to make a set for you, bear in mind that the contour at the bottom of the doors is curved. If you don't curve them accordingly, one end or the other will be at least 2 inches out.
I hope you can get some detail out of the photos I've attached.
Regards,
Roland

unless you plan on making more than one set, you'll spend more money building a one off set, plans or not.
i've been there, you start saving money around the third set, provided there aren't any blunders in between.
if its a one off set that you want, then why do they need plans? sliders aren't really that complex, any competent fab shop can do them.

I just like to be sure. Yeah I think I underestimated my fab shop. The guy lifted my bumper 2" for my body lift and did an excellent job. I think I'm gonna get him to build me a rear bumper.

Here are some of the pictures of my sliders. They are a little dirty but you can get the idea. They bolt up like all the others with grade 8 bolts.

On the back side I have 1/8" steel sandwitching the rocker
