Re: Project: Shiro
Definitely going to have some memories that last a lifetime! My favorite memories of my father and I when I was a teenager were us working together side by side on the 57 Chevy truck he have me when I turned 16. How fortunate for you and your son to be able to build this project together! I can't wait until my daughters and son are old enough!

Re: Project: Shiro
Plan is starting to come together, we'll hopefully have some of these parts, except with trailing arms, in 6 to 8 weeks! Photo courtesy of Porterbuilt.

Re: Project: Shiro
Been texting back and forth with Nate today, I'm excited about what he has planned for our kit.
![]() Thanks, it's a good thing there are so many high quality builds on this board because we are going to be slow going so you'll have plenty of cool stuff to check out while we chug along. ![]()

Re: Project: Shiro
Based on the measurements I took off the truck as is, using Nate's point of reference, it should be very close to a 5/7. The big advantages will be ground clearance, ability to tune the ride, and rack-n-pinion steering. And you know the built-in geometry will make it handle!!

Re: Project: Shiro
Nope, it's going to be a while yet. It looks like the PB parts won't show up until the middle March so I'd like to keep it mobile until then. Luckily there are plenty of other builds to watch until then!

Re: Project: Shiro
I'm thinking about putting lower trim on this truck to break up the plethora of white. With the addition of a Porterbuilt suspension and late model drivetrain adding the trim won’t be a big deal. The kit from Mar-K with black accent looks pretty nice. What do you all think?
