Well just got confirmation that Cecil will be a finalist in the April truck if the Month contest. SKYMANGS time to rally the troops and let's get you your first of many truck of the months.

skymangs · 03-23-2015, 08:50 PM

Awesome Shawn! Bart is coming tomorrow afternoon to do some pressure testing, and take it back to his shop for a trans if need be.

51chevytruck · 03-23-2015, 09:54 PM

Shawn/Chris Beautiful truck. I also think you guys nailed the stance, can you tell me what backspacing the rims have? I either missed it or cannot find it in your posts.

Thanks
Tom

Thank you Tom. Sorry I didn't post the info sooner. Here's the specs on the wheels.

The fronts are ridler 695 18x8, 5x4.75 +0 4.5"

The Rears are ridler 695 20x10, 5x4.75 +0 5.5"

Hope this helps. If you going to run the tires that I am it will be challenging as Chris has alluded. He made some crazy mods to his cab brackets not to mention drop leafs and spindles just to get the stance right. Also there will be some rub up front if you crank the wheel for super sharp turn. This is something I am willing to live with for now just to get the look.

Chris also posted a better drive video on his Facebook page. Here is the link https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=718314184954411

Glad you found the source of the FI issue. That was not an EZ one to diagnose I'm sure ...

As for the tranny ... minor details. I'm sure that'll be out & back in before you can say ... Cecil.

Truck looks fantastic. The build was well thought out & the execution was ... stunning. Drive the wheels off it.

skymangs · 03-25-2015, 11:49 PM

Thanks all for the votes!

oossuuu754 · 03-26-2015, 05:50 PM

I put together a complete 5 min video of the entire build thread. Cecil will go to a few shows in the future so my thoughts were to just loop this video instead of having scrap book. Here the youtube link, let me know what you think.

I used iMovie on my iPhone 6 plus to edit the whole thing. Pretty simple.
