Brilliant idea! I'm stealing this thanks for sharing it.

Looks great! Love how you angled it at the back instead of straight down

Lolyin58 · 05-31-2012, 08:38 AM

Awesome job, looks really good. With that progress each day u will be rolling in no time at all.

CHRIS67GMC · 06-01-2012, 12:28 PM

Good news the engine just needs the crank turned and new bearing.. Bad news a complete dry sump setup with a power steering drive on it costs 3k for all the parts needed.

Progress report need to mount a few more things and fab work is finished. then body work time.

Bed floor turned out great.

CLEAN work !

NewType72 · 06-04-2012, 02:03 AM

wow man KILLER bed I'm lovin the dually style inner wheel wells too looks sick man!

CHRIS67GMC · 06-04-2012, 10:29 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. I thought the wider tubs would look better then raising the floor higher to clear the swaybar and shocks.

mcbassin · 06-04-2012, 11:18 PM

I love all the custom fabrication work. This truck is coming together so fast. Love the tubs.

CHRIS67GMC · 06-06-2012, 11:10 AM

Couple updates made some rock sheilds for behind the tires. I decided to keep the factory dash in this one the new dash looks to modern for this build.

I got a couple dash panels from No-Limit.

This new Holley pump has 2 pumps in one cool idea. This way you have a back up or turn them both on when racing.

CHRIS67GMC · 06-08-2012, 02:28 PM

CHRIS67GMC · 06-13-2012, 10:56 PM
