Thanks!

I realize I haven't updated this in forever! I finished the truck a back in September of 2013. Drove it around for 2 years and enjoyed it but it just wasn't everything it could be.





I tore it down this spring. Sold the chassis and drivetrain and got a stock chassis back. Bought a 5.3l ls engine and 4l80e trans and started the new build.

The new build should be pretty sweet.

Engine: 2001 5.3l ls
k1 Technology rods
wiesco pistons
total seal rings
ls9 head gaskets
arp mains
arp head studs
BTR stage 2 cam
BTR dual valve springs with titanium retainers
BW S480 turbo
Holley Highram intake
Nick Williams 102mm throttle body

the goal is 1,000 hp at the crank

Trans: 4l80e built to handle the power

Fuel: A1000 fuel cell and pump
Fuel Injector Clinic 1100cc injectors

Suspension: No limit Engineering Air Glide chassis kit with a Currie 9in

Brakes: Wilwood 6 pistons in the front and 4 pistons in the rear

Wheels/ Tires: Mobsteel 20in smoothies 20x9 in the front and 20x11 in the rear with 245's in the front and 315 extreme contact dsw06's.

The interior should be pretty awesome as well I had Jeremy Jordan at Hand Made Seat Co. make me some custom bomber seats. The plan is to make door panels and a center console to match them myself.

For the last 3 months i've just accumulating parts on november 7th the frame goes to Wicked Welds to have the suspension installed and an Nsane hotrodz firewall put in as well as a drive shaft tunnel. The motor is at the machine shop right now getting machined.

Wow! When I was reading about dropped axle, 235 with 2 carbs, closed drive, etc., I sure wasn't expecting this! I'm in.

Looks wicked man! Those seats are super rad

Yep just got my truck back from the shop, they installed the No Limit air glide kit for me. The built a bigger notch in the rear to allow the truck to sit lower. It now lays frame with these tires on it. The tires im planning on running are a little taller but it should still lay running board.

They also installed the new smooth firewall from Nsane hotrods. As well as built a trans tunnel for me.





I couldn't help myself when I got it home I had to throw the front end on with a couple bolts just to see what it looked like.





Now the real work begins.
