My Project "King Nothin"

[rollinhard]

I figured id start my build thread. I wont get the trucks till next week and then i can post some pics sorry. The names gonna be KING NOTHIN be cause i have to build it pay check to pay check and like the song haha

My project truck is 1969 Gmc long box 2wheel drive. Im building one out of two. First truck is 69 1/2ton long box rusted out but good frame 292 inline six 4 spd runs but not well. Second truck is 69 3/4 ton longbox custom camper its in pieces right now and the cab is in awsome shape. the box needs some help and fenders r to be desireds.
The trucks comes with front air bag assembly and a original gmc grill complete fresh from the chromers. a turbo 350,400,700r4, spare small block and a set of old school aluminum wheels. paid 1500$ for it all. The grill alone cost the guy a grand to do so i think i did pretty well.
My Motor build at a later date will be
-Tall deck 427 bored 100 thou, 4.25 stroke crank, h beam 6.8" rods, a big cam, world products intake and a little huff of giggle juice like 150 only. 505ci stroker
- trans will be a turbo 400 built to handle the power of the motor with trans brake and manual shift valve body
-rear will be the stock 12 bolt with 4.10s posibly an eaton e locker.
-The front susp will be the bag set-up the guy has and the rear will be? undecided will be asking your opinions when time comes.
- i have 20 gal aluminum fuel cell already that will go into the box
-My wheels and tires will be american racing baja polished wheels 15x12 in the rear and 15x10s up front tires will be Mickey Thompson sportsman sr radials.

More to come next week when i can post pics of the start of KING NOTHIN.

You can have it for a grand. Its a 05 LLY with around 90000 kms from a wreck. Long block only though. My original plan was to do a dmax but plans change.

Ha, I wish! I got way too many irons in the fire already! My Yukon needs an engine first, and if I got something like that I would also have to find a tranny and t-case! Nope! My burb will have to stick with its 350 for now!

[rollinhard]

other parts

[rollinhard]

couple more. hopefully will start on it this week had to kill a bees nest that was in my frame cross member, or it would be in the shop already

[oldblue1968chevy]

nice parts there im in for the ride!

[rollinhard]

Heres the frame im using now, it was the 3/4 ton but its in better shape. Converting to trailing arms. The PO used an industrial primer from a pulp mill and the black paint he had didnt stick at all. Just a little rub with a wire brush and it comes off.

[rollinhard]

some progress mock up photos with narrowed 9" and some tires and wheels i found at the dump. goin with leafs in the rear for ease of install right now as im not gonna really drag the truck that much just at old time drags event and such

[oldblue1968chevy]

im in! i need those slots for my 6 lug rear end and i already have the 5 lug fronts LOL

[rollinhard]

got the front end put together with 3" drop spindles and is now rolling and is now out in the cold for the winter as the wife decided she needed a new rig so i guess it takes priority.
