New truck build.

[jgrisafi]

Made some progress............I finished blasting and sanding most of the frame and I actually got to bolt on some parts that I have bought. I also finished up the c-notch as well. Next up is the rear differential and front suspension parts. Check it out and let me know what yall think.

Its looking really good!!! Im about 3 weeks into my build, I thought I was just going to do paint job....... Every time I work on it Im tearing it done futher. I wish I could just do like you and tear it all the way down and do a frame up, but I know it would take me forever.... Good luck to you....

Love the silver look on the frame, it'll look super against a black drive train. Updates?

Congrats on the truck, and I'll keep a eye on the progress! You might even inspire me to get back to work on my project!lol

Like the silver on the frame as well. Only downside I see is that it will show grime really easy specially for a DD. Seems like your making good headway.

Well, not much of an update on the progress of the truck. But, now that I have more room to work and move around it's time to get back to business. The family and I moved about 3 weeks ago and I finally got the rest of my things out of storage. I wanted to wait on getting the truck out of storage because I wanted to get the new garage floor painted and get the cabinets in. I've just about got everything organized and put away where I want it. Anyway, to make a long story short here are a few pictures of the new home and garage. I just wanted to share. Thanks again guys for being part of the best forum on the net.

Looking good, have you thought about running your exhaust yet? rear crossmember is alot easier to modify at the current stage than after the build, with the 2/4 drop it isn't really necessary but personally I like the tucked look. Looks like a good starting point, mine is in need of a donor cab, so it's all teardown for now

Very cool project. Subscribed.

I love the flat black its badass

I decided on a 4.5/6 drop for the truck, no air bags just spindles and coils. I hope that this will not be to low for a static drop, besides It wont be a daily driver either. I have all of the suspension parts bought already, just need to finish painting the frame (got scratched up moving to and from starage).

Looks good. Any updates?

Man it's good to be home! Been back from a deployment now for a couple of weeks and was able to get in the garage for the first in an extremely long time. I haven't done much yet due to spending time with the family but I promise yall that I will dive in head first. I did have one issue though. When I went to put on the new upper coss shafts on the front a-arms I couldn't get them seated flush with the sides of the a-arm. Not sure if maybe there is an exact science to putting these on or I'm just having bad luck.
