Great to hear your wife is doing ok!

What are you planning for radiator and intercooler?
I have seen many use the IC from dodge, mid 90s.

Any updates Chizzler?

Coach529 · 10-28-2015, 09:16 AM

This is an amazing build.........love it!!

**CHIZZLER** · 10-28-2015, 10:51 AM

Thanks for checking in guys. Got the crew moved out to my buddy bruce's last week to continue with all the fab work. He's got a amazing shop. Parts will be coming in this week. 20 gallon gas tank from cpp,motor mounts,trans mount,trans cooler,fuel cooler and a few other goodies. Will update some pics once we get going on it.

Good to hear . All the good new's and keep up the cool work.

**CHIZZLER** · 11-09-2015, 12:10 AM

Today we were able to get the factory d-max motor mounts fited to the frame. They are massive and barely fit between the frame rails. Here are a few parts that I have got my hands on. Astro van hydro boost. 73 k5 blazer seats, cpp 20 gallon tank. More to come soon. CHIZZLER

**Captainfab** · 11-09-2015, 01:47 AM

Didn't the D-Max donor truck have hydroboost?

It sure did. I sold the rolling chassie and some other parts to a guy that was doing a 3/4 ton swap. He really wanted it and paid for it.

2mas · 11-10-2015, 08:06 PM

Looks great, yes looks like we put the motors in the same spot.
I'm actually thinking of moving it 1-2" back to be able to lower it.
I actually lifted the cab by an inch for now, so I did not have to cut out the are under the wipers.

2mas · 11-10-2015, 08:08 PM

Any ideas/concerns for the gas pedal placement?

**CHIZZLER** · 11-10-2015, 10:16 PM

There is a sweat spot where the front of the oil pan will be just in back of the rack and balancer just above it. It will also keep the oil and trans pan above the bottom of the frame rails. The gas pedal will be tricky. Good thing its drive by wire.

Henney · 11-15-2015, 11:23 AM

Swung by Bruce's the other day. It looks sweet. That engine is massive.

want2b · 11-29-2015, 11:35 PM

If you know anyone with a crew for sale please let me know thanks Bruce

**CHIZZLER** · 12-06-2015, 11:30 PM

Made some progress the last couple weekends. Got the motor mounts finished. Used the factory mounts on the motor and made our own for the frame. Today we started boxing the middle section. Going to build A inner frame stiffener to take out the potential twist of the torque monster D-max. CHIZZLER

**Advanced Design** · 12-06-2015, 11:35 PM

Nice, those mounts look very beefy!

Bodhi · 12-06-2015, 11:43 PM

This thing is so baddass! Great job Chizzler!

**66ChevyMax** · 12-06-2015, 11:45 PM

Awesome work, subscribed!

Thanks for following along.

Indyfab · 12-07-2015, 01:29 AM

This is a great build, I'm somewhat local so hopefully I'll see it running around soon!

**Palf70Step** · 12-07-2015, 06:26 AM

As already mentioned, super nice looking work.

2mas · 12-07-2015, 03:08 PM

Looks great! I was planning on boxing my frame in similar way.
Did you have time to test fit the Astro Hydro boost before taking the cab and engine of?
Really interested..

/Thomas

**CHIZZLER** · 12-07-2015, 08:40 PM

Hydro boost has not been test fit yet. Once the cab is back on we will make it fit and rework brake pedal if needed. Your progress looks good.

namloc · 12-07-2015, 11:06 PM

awesome progress.That truck is gonna be cool.

**youngrodder** · 12-07-2015, 11:23 PM

Looks good Chizzler. That is one looooooong frame.
nice progress

Marc

**CHIZZLER** · 12-27-2015, 11:56 PM

We were able to get some progress done over the last couple weekends. Built a full inner frame stiffener. Made the trans mount so it will unbolt and drop out from the bottom. Maybe overkill but why not. Replaced drivers rear cab mount and the new part was so bad we would of had to pie cut it three ways so we made our own. More to come. CHIZZLER
