start reading. go to the "FAQ" forum. there is a "thread index" post in there with a list of tons of stuff to do to your truck.

nobody can just hand out tips. there are ten thousand things that could be done to your truck. onfortunately, posting in this person's thread or creating new vague threads ain't gonna help much

Deuce · 01-17-2006, 01:39 AM

Matt. Call me. I need some cutting tips.

any updates? lookin good so far

Slammed66 · 06-10-2006, 12:35 PM

Just an update , my trash to build a truck was thwarted by me wanting a NICE quality truck

I am currently building a frame table, then the frame will be z'd 3 inches front and rear reuslting in a 6 inch front drop with stock springs and tons of cround clearance on the a arms , spraping the on my 64 has grown quite fustrating.

the box floor will be raised 3 inches to match and I can run a blazer tank that doesnt hang down below the bumper.

UPDATES WILL BE POSTED ASAP.

oh right and IM scrapping the junker 350 for a 2003 6.0 and 4l80e or t56.

Slammed66 · 07-19-2006, 01:31 AM
