"Outkast" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well this build has taken a dramatic turn so I figured I'd edit this section. The truck went in for it's first surgery about a year and a half ago. It was done up in satin black with some 22" centerlines. I ordered front and rear dropmembers and bought a spare frame from Steve Lowery. I worked over the never couple of months getting the frame "Porterized." Then before I got finished I realized that I really wanted to go in a different direction with the build. In this build thread you'll find both sets of pics. To date my truck is at Rhea's Chevys in Humble, Texas getting made over.

A list of current parts includes:

Front and Rear Dropmembers
22" Bonspeed Big Blocks
Mark Jones 496 BB

I'll stop there cause that's the good stuff.

Thanks for looking

Looks like a solid truck. Keep us updated.

69CST-V · 09-08-2010, 05:01 PM

I'm in for the adventure. Keep us posted.

Well things have been moving at a snails pace, as I'm sure everyone on here is accustomed to. Wasn't going to post updates till I was done but since I'm guessing this is going to take twice as long as I had thought I have since changed my mind. The body is at the body shop still getting everything straight and into some primer. Here's a few pics of the donor frame I received. This is after I removed the front and rear suspension. Of course I didn't think to take pics of how I got, idiot, but at least I have some of it after the tear down and with a little mock-up.

Awesome.. Cant wait to watch this come together!

gixxerpymp · 12-02-2010, 11:11 PM

Looks good!!!!!

Why not run 22" smoothies?

Jparks · 12-03-2010, 11:35 AM

Never have been a real big fan of large diameter wheels on older cars and trucks. I think the 20's look good and are just on the verge of being too big. Having said that, things could change once I get them painted and on the truck. I've thought about it before so chances are I'll mull it over again once I have the 20's on there. It wouldn't be fun if I didn't put the 20's on and then immediately second guess my decision

Jparks · 12-03-2010, 11:43 AM

Went by the body man today and was quite impressed. I haven't been over there in a month and a half. He's thinking it should be ready by christmas if everything goes according to plan. I doubt it but you never know.

**67cheby** · 12-03-2010, 12:43 PM

sweet cant wait to see more

Splash4195 · 12-03-2010, 02:47 PM

Nice Project!

Jparks · 12-14-2010, 11:38 AM

Well this isn't actually an update as much as a little picture of what the truck will mostly look like when I'm done. With the help of board member silverstep I was able to get some fast paint and body work done as well as add the wheels I will be putting on. Okay so it's photoshop, you got me.

**67cheby** · 12-14-2010, 11:40 AM

i wish it was that easy to get them finished...... LOOKS GOOD !!!

Jparks · 12-14-2010, 11:48 AM

The paint and body work is still moving along as expected but the frame work is really slow now, not sure why, oh yeah maybe it's cause this guy

Jparks · 01-25-2011, 03:45 PM

got a few updates on the frame, the body work is getting pretty close, just the roof and the interior to do, hopefully i can time this frame to be done about the same time

**67cheby** · 01-25-2011, 04:10 PM

SWEET....Diggin the rat rod also !!

c10seconds · 01-25-2011, 05:19 PM

Gvizzle I'm gonna have to admit, you got in my head, sold the 20" smoothies and ordered the 22" a few weeks ago, guess I was thinking it all along I just needed someone else to agree

Any updates?

chapster · 02-24-2011, 12:58 AM

Looks good Jparks,

I also went with powder coated silver for my PB components. "looks sweet"

Jparks · 02-24-2011, 01:36 AM

Yeah I completely forgot to update this, I got the truck back from the body guy two weeks ago, it's now satin black and straight, took the rear inner fenders out today and put my smoothies on the rear, not getting to the front yet until I switch over to the new frame, I'll try to post some new pics tomorrow
