Nice build. I used to go down to Rocky Point a couple times a year when I lived in Phoenix. You are lucky to live there!

Re: New member new Project
 

you did a NICE job on that frame...sweet truck also...

btw what'd ya do with your old static drop components?

Re: New member new Project
 

Thanks guys

My golf course equipment mechanic has gotten dibs on my old static drop, he helped me with a lot of dirty work early on.

Couple before and after pics

Now I'm shopping for a GM LS2 or LS3 with automatic trans and driveshaft

Yes "Frizzle" I love it down here, I've been here four and a half years, built a house close to work and the beach.

Re: New member new Project
 

Looks amazing...I don't know how I have missed your build. You've done great work and the truck is sweet...nice attitude and altitude :metal:

Re: New member new Project
 

Thanks Man

But you didn't really miss it, actually you were one of the two guys that steered me in the right direction for the build back in May on another forum.

That's how I found this thread. Thanks for the recognition but all I did was send you to someone to take all your money :lol:


...and give you sweet suspension components in return :metal:

I wish I would have been able to follow along. It's been a great build and the truck is looking sweet. I'm in now :chevy:

Re: New member new Project
 

very clean build! can you let me know where you got your parallel 4-link ? i've looked around and i don't like how they mount on the frame, yours looks very stout. thanks in advance. -Brian

Hooked up the Stage 2 e-LEVEL system by ACCUAIR over the last couple days. It works good, Way more responsive than I expected.

There are many different ways to set one of these systems up, especially when it comes to the height sensors. You just have to figure out what works best for you, and of course sometimes things change.

Will try to attach the video of the air system in action

Re: New member new Project
 

Pretty cool...is that the rocker switches or the controller that looks like an I-phone?

Re: New member new Project
 

Looks good,thanks for sharing with the video

Re: New member new Project

Re: New member new Project
 

Thanks Guys

Nate found me a 6 liter LQ9 out of a 2002 Escalade, I'm gonna pick it up next week.
Plan to clean up and straighten up the block, and install a lunati stroker rotating assembly and "Voodoo" hot cam kit.

subscribed cant wait to see more

Re: New member new Project
 

Sounds like a killer power plant. Ready for some pics on that.

Re: New member new Project
 

Hey man if u get a chance and if u have any can u put up some pics of the body drop for the cab and bed. Thanks.

Re: New member new Project
 

hey rick,

Last time I was down there you said your were keeping the stock motor in it? I like to see the v8 coming into play now! hahaha

trucks coming along good!

Re: New member new Project
 

Here you go Man... I wanted to lay pinch, and I had .25" of frame visible under rockers so I dropped core mounts, body mounts, and notched bed mounting areas that same amount.

Yeah I know Blake... I changed my mind... I gotta have a V8!

Re: New member new Project
 

Thanks for the pics. How much did u move the mounts down. Thanks again for the help.

Re: New member new Project
 

OOPS!...Sorry Grier, I put .25 in the previous post, I really meant .75" of drop.

Re: New member new Project
 

Thanks. I have thought about doing the same to mine, i did not want to do a drastic body drop. Truck looks great can't wait to see the new motor and trans.

Re: New member new Project
 

dont forget the bumpers will have to drop also, and with the dropmember if you are running a stock 350 with the dropmember you cant get your dist out without unbolting the motor mounts and lowering the motor , so will lowering 3/4 more will your distributor still clear the firewall ??
