Nice addition. I'm trying to talk myself out of getting one.

**Advanced Design** · 09-03-2015, 11:09 PM

Looks great! I have one of the Mac's tie downs bridges and love it. Beats what i've used for years that always gets into the firewall.

Did you find a home for your stock intake?

Not yet.... Its just sitting here in the garage

roushinator · 09-05-2015, 08:22 PM

A little work done today...

Porterbuilt Cab Supports installed

I also started on installing the Porterbuilt inner frame stiffener now that i got it back from powder coating. Just did the side rails. Probably will do the rest tomorrow.

roushinator · 09-13-2015, 09:26 PM

I put in about 4 hours of work today.

Xeen · 09-13-2015, 10:36 PM

The center section of the frame will definitely be stiff now.
Do you plan on installing a rear sway bar?

Zoomin · 09-13-2015, 10:37 PM

Thanks goodness tomorrow's Monday so you can rest up at the office.

Looking great!

Blown06 · 09-14-2015, 12:07 AM

Man good looking project, I'm gonna hop on for the ride. That engine is sweet!

roushinator · 10-18-2015, 06:20 PM

Did a little more work on the rack and pinion install..

Turned out nice. I still have to do a little more work to finish up that. I got the motor in (hopefully for the last time).

Blown06 · 10-19-2015, 01:35 AM

Good lord that looks good.

RUN GMC · 10-19-2015, 01:59 AM

Loving this build so much......but I was wondering will it be done before the start of next years Hot Rod Power Tour in Baton Rouge and if not Im sure a lot of us would like to see it

when we hit town in June 2016....keep up the great work.............

**68jewel** · 10-19-2015, 04:14 AM

Looking damn good!!

sperger72 · 10-19-2015, 08:42 AM

Enygma · 11-10-2015, 03:24 PM

ok that truck is amazing! kinda funny how first post says something about not a show truck but a good DD--- ha these trucks take on a life of their own huh?
thats so far one of the nicest custom trucks ive seen even at shows!!!! and im sure it will turn out even better with the attention to detail and quality parts

killing it man! you inspire us, thanks

roushinator · 11-11-2015, 12:33 PM

Thanks guys. I ordered a bunch of exhaust pieces and they should be in today. Going to start mocking up the exhaust this week. All the pieces are stainless and i am going to get them jet coated the same color as the headers when i am done. Going to try and keep it all tucked in the frame.

roushinator · 11-12-2015, 08:37 AM

So let the madness begin.... I ordered some parts i thought i would need to get started. I can already tell i will need more. I have never done this before but should be interesting. Going to try and keep it tight up in the frame rails.

roushinator · 12-18-2015, 05:21 PM

Still working on exhaust but i got some other work done....

Steering connected...

Motor moved forward about 2". Nice clearance with the cross member and oil pan.

Radiator core support with radiator...

**Hart_Rod** · 12-18-2015, 07:15 PM

It's coming together nicely!!!

**Advanced Design** · 12-18-2015, 09:28 PM

Looking really good!

swamp rat · 12-19-2015, 10:50 PM

Personally i think this thread deserves an ongoing and updated parts list so rookies like me can put 2 and 2 together and figure out how to build one of these things! LOL!

Lets just say this would be a go to thread for tho's of us that need more than pictures.

Awesome work!

roushinator · 12-29-2015, 09:17 AM

Did a little work this past weekend...

Front swaybar...

Had to modify the core support to fit the radiator but it fits great now....

sperger72 · 12-29-2015, 10:30 AM

Looks great. what sway bar brackets are those you used?
