Oh yeah.......I've seen that and those guys (Nelson) build some serious stuff.

**71blksuper4x4** · 03-12-2008, 09:33 AM

I like the video on youtube with the 2003 caddi with a 572.

Rokcrln · 03-12-2008, 09:39 PM

Nice vidio but you really could not get a good feel for it untill the last frame from out side the car as it took off and was just gone.

I think I will still go for a twin turbo LS motor

Last I saw the cab/doors were back from the strippers & some 'not-so-easy' decisions needed to be made. The cab roof is less than desirable so the dilemma is what to do to get it right w/o being on 'nic-name' terms w/the president of his bank

Film Guy · 05-03-2008, 04:33 PM

Got an update. New engine came in. Its a 572. Here are a few pics. Not so impressive in the looks department, but it made 711 hp on the dyno with pump gas. A little paint and polishing is needed.

They make some seriously badass cars. Turbo, Supercharged, and all motor.

Started with a original short bed 68 chassis. Stripped it and installed a KP Components notch. Installed a Fatman Fab MII front suspension w/ Shockwaves. Upgraded the brakes to a Willwood 6-piston front caliper and a 13 inch rotor. Ordered the wheels. Custom made Forge line 3-piece. Fronts are 20x10 and the rears are 20x12.5. Out back is a Ford 9-inch w/ Nodular case 31 spline axles and a Detroit Tru-trac. Again Willwood brakes 4 piston internal parking brake type. CPP trailing arms connect to a E.C.E. cross-member. I have been accumulating parts to make this happen for 2 years. I'm just glad to see it roll.

Your truck looks great! I wanted to ask you about the FatMan MII front - what are the spindles and hubs? MII, C10's, fatman's that go with this front clip? Are you planning on a sway bar? (don't think I saw one in the thread) The fat man suspension looks like a great choice, I think the only one I've seen in all the great builds on this site - interested in your feedback.

I've spoken w/Filmguy on several ocassions about his truck since we're in the same area & frequent the same shop & he's mentioned that he would have gone the Porterbuilt Dropmember route had they been available @ the time.

I know he used a FM 'bolt-in' style kit that's been heavily tweaked to get it exactly how he wanted it. He & the SOS guys did an outstanding job. I can't wait to see the final product (& go for a spin around the block

).
