Project "What to do with no time and a grain truck?"

[Notch1988]

Here's the original thread for the truck. I bought it off of Matt (Slammed66) in the spring of 2010, cruised it for a while and I think I've figured out what I want to do.

I've started this thread in hopes of gaining some help from fellow members and as motivation to get things done. I'm only home for six days a month and with a wife, three kids soon to be four I don't get a lot of time to play.
Anyways, I'll show you where I'm at and hopefully we'll get some progress over the holidays.


I picked up a wrecked truck last Christmas. The cab had caught fire but the drivetrain was perfect. It's a 6.0L/4L80.






The truck currently rides on a 1 ton frame, so I picked up a half ton frame over the summer and will be working with that. I've got the box off and I'm stripping it down. Body work will be outsourced.












I've gathered a few parts the last few months. The plan is to lay frame on 20's so the parts are geared towards accomplishing the goal.

Accuair setup







Coys C5's. 20X8.5 with 255/45 and 20X10 with 295/45





A few boxes of parts from Mr. Porter













The plan is to get the chassis done this year and transfer over the original drivetrain and body. Next winter I'll do the LS swap and get the truck painted. Just plan to get the box worked on this year.
