Ok so Ive been working on this truck for some time but due to family stuff i have to get rid of it. The truck is way more than it seems at first glance. It is all built very well and built to handle abuse. This truck will out drive new camera ss' on any autocross course. So here we go. This has been a frame off build. As far as the suspension goes, the front is all CPP tubular upper and lower arms, CPP 2.5 inch modular drop spindle and 13 inch disk brakes. It has Slam Specialties Bags and Bilstien shocks. Also a custom 1 1/4 inch sway bar. The rear suspension is totally one off stuff. Very similar to porter built stuff but better. Fully adjustable tubular truck arms with chromoly johnny joints at the front. Heim Joint pan hard bar 1 1/14 rear sway bar. firestone bags and Bilstien shocks. The rear frame has a large step notch and a lot of tubular bracing to keep it from flexing around. The rear axle is a full floating grand national ford 9 inch from speedway. its basically the same rear end they run in nascars except with a spool and 31 spline axles. As far as the wheels go they are 20x7 Coys in the front and 22x9 Coys in the rear with nitto tires. There is a modified all aluminum cpp fuel cell in the rear with twin walbro fuel pumps, originally set up to run up to 600hp. The engine is a 5.3 LS out of an 04 Tahoe or Silverado. That means fuel injected and nice and reliable like a new truck. Also a lot more power than your average carb 350. This truck moves and still gets great mileage even when its driven like its stolen. The trans is a 700r4 built for up to 500hp. The wiring is also set up to run a 4L60 or 4L80 if you want. Just needs the plug plugged in and computer re-flashed if you choose to do that later down the line. A tall Lokar shifter gives the interior that kind of rat rod feel that matches the outside. The wiring on this LS swap is top notch and done by serious professionals. This is not your standard shitty convoluted tubing covered plug and play harness. The whole chassis of this truck is both painted and powder coated to keep it looking great for years to come. Literally the paint and body, and interior are the only parts left to make this truck a show stopping, performance machine. I love the truck as it is because i can kick ass on new cameros and drive it all over without worrying about messing up too nice of paint. The bed is a custom shortened 3/4 ton bed but has a one off raised steel bed floor. This is not some shitty useless mini truck bed. It was built to handle putting motorcycles back there and will take anything you can put in there but looks amazing. I am a fabricator for a very reputable hot rod shop and have put years into this truck. it is my labor of love and everything that was done to it was done with me keeping the truck forever in mind. So i didn't skimp or cheap out anywhere. As previously stated i need to get rid of it for family reasons. If your interested in seeing it or more pictures ill be glad to email them to you just need to get in contact with me.
