wow sweet truck! makes me want to go and wrench on mine...

Eturnit3 · 03-21-2009, 12:44 AM

Good work man, thing looks tough as nails, subscribed.

MrBeast · 03-21-2009, 01:58 AM

Man this thing isn't looking good, it is looking damned outstanding! I am thoroughly impressed. I really like where you are going with the truck.

JustinR · 03-21-2009, 03:06 AM

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! There is nothing better than getting comments/suggestions to get me in the mood to work on it some more! I forgot to mention I did get the flat deck extended and tapered in towards the cab at the front. You can kind of see how it looks in the pictures showing the truck in primer. I have been working on painting the exterior lately. Hopefully I can get some pictures of it painted in the next couple days! I sure hope it will be tuff as nails! I think the only thing it is missing now is a Cummins conversion!!!

thirdstreettito · 03-21-2009, 12:12 PM

Nice progress!

thirdstreettito · 03-23-2009, 09:48 PM

Gorgeous! Drive on over and down here!

71swb4x4 · 03-23-2009, 10:08 PM

I like the truck, and love the black top. Nice job!

UltraBlue71 · 03-27-2009, 10:53 PM

Those dual BFG M/T's have got to be the coolest ever! Awesome truck! That green is so ugly it grew on me (weird huh??) Keep it up, you got plenty of winter left up there! Damn I thought Idaho was cold!

67ChevyRedneck · 03-28-2009, 12:34 AM

That looks SO cool!

The top actually came out really cool, it looks like a vinyl top!

**Palf70Step** · 03-28-2009, 08:57 AM

Beautiful!

msgross · 03-28-2009, 09:55 AM

I'm surprised that your buddy had room with those seats.. That was my concern when I chose to go with buddy buckets since i'm 6'3". I have those seats in my 05 tahoe.. they are kinda like "modern buddy buckets:

thirdstreettito · 12-13-2010, 02:16 AM

Any updates? It's been 1 1/2 years!

JustinR · 12-13-2010, 08:03 PM

Lol Yes a ton of updates. It's now 36" shorter, modified an 8' box to cover the duals. Built a custom rear bumper from 3/16 plate, and modified the front bumper to match. Then got rid of the th400 and put a nv4500 5speed.. new driveshafts, 208 transfercase, and new flowmaster 50series dual exhaust! Here are some pictures. I really need to get back on this forum!

JustinR · 12-13-2010, 08:08 PM

Few pictures of how it came along, I have the tailgate on now, and a boxliner. Pretty much done with this project and already started another one! 71 k20, finished all the rust repair and is now in epoxy primer, waiting for christmas holidays to lay down some paint!

thirdstreettito · 12-13-2010, 08:07 PM

Sweet! The only recommendation I have is to replace that NP208. It's an aluminum transfer case made for 1/2 tons and you have it in a 1 ton. If I were you I would get an NP203 or NP205 because they were made for 3/4 and 1 tons. Just my two cents.

Thats the plan if i can find a np205 for a decent price. The guy just gave me this 208 with the nv4500 so i figured I would through it in haha.

thirdstreettito · 12-13-2010, 08:25 PM

Well sir. It looks to me like you have one hell of a truck. Now she needs a Cummins or Duramax! Props to you for making the world a much more beautiful and smogier place!

**Palf70Step** · 12-13-2010, 08:53 PM

That looks great!

67chevy1series · 01-22-2011, 11:19 PM

He said earlier they were BFG LT255/85R16. They are 33.5" tall, but fairly narrow. I ran a set on my Dodge. Liked the tires, but the Dodge diesel tends to eat tires. I think they were gone in about 20K miles.

RCbowtie69 · 01-22-2011, 11:15 PM

That's a H.D. truck & it's a chevy

hotrodchevy1999 · 01-23-2011, 12:02 AM

neat one ton

Maxxd07 · 01-23-2011, 12:40 AM

This thing is saaweeet. I want to see more pics!! Please??

1985-GMC · 01-21-2013, 12:26 AM

I have to bring this one back from the dead, it is just sweet!

MrBeast · 02-10-2013, 05:00 PM

I like how it turned out.

Next thing you know you will be stretching the frame and making it into a crew cab! lol
