In the end of that thread I make reference to my friends truck. It has been in a storage bin for the last 6 year slowly being striped of its parts. I wanted that truck for the last 8 years and the opportunity came to me a few weeks ago, for me to get it dirt cheap so here it goes, its not going to be a fast build but a good build.
I will post details on it later.

Looks like a great project truck

And if you notice in the pic it is a right and drive, it had a ls1 in it but it got stripped out and the rims are kinda gone, I can get them back but I haven't decided if I want too yet.


It is bodydropped to lay rockers on 22's pinch welds have been shaved off as well as drip rails.

Well its been a while since I updated my Thread, I just been doing mostly body work and ordering knick knacks.
here are some updated pic.
I ordered a fuel cell

Fits like a glove

Started my Sheet metal bed

[vsoree]

I know the gas tank is on the ground when the bed is bolted to the frame it raises the tank 1 1/2 off the ground, I also thought about putting bumpstops on.

Heres some eye candy for you, this is my freinds truck the one that helping me build mine.
P.S. I know you see the truck in the back ground that was a truck we was working on



And yes those where the wheels that came off my truck.

Here is the current work on the rear of the frame.

I finally got around to putting in the engine, it was set up for a LS1, but i thought i was going to save money so I went with the LT1, Bad ideal still had to shell out alot of money15:

Fits just right in the custom made Fire wall

I had to buy Headers because the original ones where cracked, these are made by Speedway motors.

I installed the new radiator fits OK.


With the fans on it.

I think the hardest part of the build is picking a color, I have change the color schemes a hundred times in my head, I was all set on Red so I started painting lil stuff Red, but after hours of over thinking I think I'll go with Blue so I started buying things in Blue.

Getting the steering right was a killer but its done now yeah!!!!




Look how it goes thru the frame
