It's back and slmost ready!

Well my truck is back from my chassis builder and I've been working on it every night after work till 11:00pm for the last week trying to get it done for this weekend. No time for celebration pics just yet maybe tomorrow night, or Thur. before it goes in the trailer I'll snap a few.

Anyway truck is now 100-125lbs. lighter then last time it was there scaled 4003lbs. with 1/4 tank fuel. last time 4128lbs. with about 2/3 of a tank. The front drag springs settled too much though and couldn't get another pair that day so I'm not running the springs I wanted for some wheels up launches that only looks cool but eats time anyway. Incase anybodys new or didn't see and or care to read last post I made on the upcoming changes they are as follows. Tubular front upper and lower arms (Fat Man some day but not in the budget this year), dual pistion aluminum calipers and QA1 adjustable front drag shocks, 2" drop spindles and new small block springs. Willwood master cylinder, and Willwood 4 pistion discs in the rear. Narrowed Comp Engineering 9" fab housing, Moser aluminum center section, spool, and 35 spline Moser axles. New Comp Engineering 4-link, notched frame rails and QA1 coilovers with a 31x16.5" tire in the rear now. Pro Systems Nitrous Pro IV 1000cfm carb, fed by a Areomotive A1000 pump and A2000 return reg. system, on the carb side and a Areomotive non-return system reg. for the nitrous side. And a Harwood glass cowl hood to cover it all. And that's about it, a couple of changes and a few new parts.
