Official build post, Metal Melters, LLC; 1965 LCF50, Twin Turbo

[1965c50]

Since the post I’ve been using is titled something other than what it is. I wanted to start a new “official build post” for everyone to follow. We found the truck in Indiana. It was one over-confident builder away from the junk yard. But it’s getting a full frame off, but and bolt restoration; with a few upgrades. We ditched the stock drivetrain all-together and went with a GEN V BBC with two 66mm borgs feeding into twin fitech throttle bodies. The roughly 1500HP will be transferred through a custom build NV4500, custom driveshaft, match build Dana 70 and landing on the ground through 445/50r22.5’s. Otherwise known as super singles. The dovetail on the car deck was extended 4 ft and the bed skirted to the ground and wrapped in copper. All sitting on a custom suspension consisting of a hard bar 4 link in the rear on two 12k bags and ifs up front with 6k bags. We have a few other tricks up our sleeve, we hope you’ll follow and comment.
