[Strykerta]

Ok so Ive decide to make a catch all thread on this project. Welcome and sit back for the slow ride haha.

Currently as of 2/22/2010 the cab is off the bed is off and the frame is deundercoated and in need of sandblasting.

This past weekend i took a trip to nebraska for a buds wedding and on the way back i swung buy lmc truck and looked through all there sheetmetal and found some good replacements.

Now my Goals for this truck.
Removal of all old rusted sections with new metal.
Frame sandblasted and painted with Por15 Black Cote i already own.
Body and bed painted with my Dupont Corlar Epoxy to seal all bare metal and give it a nice flat black paint job till i decide what color im painting it.
Converting from 8 lug drum to all 5 lug disc.
Installing my old ls1 engine out of a 02 trans am and a 6 speed trans.
Deciding on if im going to make a custom air suspension or just fold in and buy drops. Im after a good drop but im not wanting to slam what assumes to be my future daily driver.
Deciding on if im going to keep it stealthy or go more exotic like a bright metallic lime green or a bright pearl orange.
Going from small rear window to custom large window.
Chopping probably 1 to 2 inches off the top.
Custom cherry wood bed. im still shopping for the wood.
