Jason Hill's shop truck build coverage?

Hey, does anyone know where I can find coverage of the build for the Hills shop truck? I wanted to get some idea of the specs and what was used for my static drop daily driver, but I can't seem to find much on the actual build. I can't remember which magazine had the build in it, since it was a few years back.

Here's a pic:


Thanks in advance

Handful of pics but no info on any 'finished project' that I've been able to find.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I couldn't find anything on the Hill's site or on LMC either. I thought it was there before, but maybe it got moved.

I'll check out Street Trucks' site and see if I can find a buildup.

Don't try to contact Hill's for info by email.... I sent them MULTIPLE emails when I starting shopping my truck's build & never got one response! They do KILLER work, but could use some better customer service!

Re: Jason Hill's shop truck build coverage?

So far, I can't find crap on the street trucks site but in fairness it is about the worst magazine site I've ever tried to use. Those guys put together a pretty good mag, but the digital side could use some help. Or I'm an idiot.

I'm hesitant to contact Hill's, since I don't intend to buy anything from them and would therefore be wasting their time.

If anyone knows more, I'd love some info specifically on the drop they used. I read a thread a while back on here where someone mentioned that truck drove great, which is really what I'm looking for.

Contact member "CHEESE" He will tell you all you want to know about that truck.. One of the trucks I did my stance after..

I know it started out as a Mcgaughys 4.5/6 kit and Jason trimmed the front springs until it sat right.

If you go here you can see mine which is pretty close to theirs and I have alot of info..

Re: Jason Hill's shop truck build coverage?

Thanks man! That's the kit I was eyeing. I'm not quite ready to order yet, but I will be soon. I'm sure I'm going to have a few questions for you. I'm going for the Eagle 225's as well.
