Definitely going to have some memories that last a lifetime! My favorite memories of my father and I when I was a teenager were us working together side by side on the 57 Chevy truck he have me when I turned 16. How fortunate for you and your son to be able to build this project together! I can't wait until my daughters and son are old enough!

A really cool thing is because my house has a steep driveway we will be doing a lot of the deconstruction at my folks house which means my Pop will be there to lend a hand too. 3 generations getting their hands dirty! :metal: And more importantly, 3 generations taking turns driving out rivets! :lol:

Hey Buck, just seen the new truck, love the plan and the truck! Your son will be so proud, Congrats

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Thanks Justin!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I love working on mine with my Pops too. I'll be 41 in April and we have built so many together. Its just time you can't get back. Enjoy it brother. I'm diggin the plans too.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Awesome plans. Can't wait to see it!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Plan is starting to come together, we'll hopefully have some of these parts, except with trailing arms, in 6 to 8 weeks! Photo courtesy of Porterbuilt. :metal:

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Wow Buck!!!!! :jdp::jdp::jdp: You don't waste time!!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Re: Project: Shiro
 

:lol: Going to be a little slower after this purchase, but no doubt the Porterbuilt parts will be worth it!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Awesome, very nice choice on the suspension

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Boy, oh, boy! This is going to be fun to watch!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Been texting back and forth with Nate today, I'm excited about what he has planned for our kit. ;)

Thanks, it's a good thing there are so many high quality builds on this board because we are going to be slow going so you'll have plenty of cool stuff to check out while we chug along. :lol:

Re: Project: Shiro
 

What drop will that yield?

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I've missed a bunch! Sold a beauty & replaced it with another. Your son is a lucky kid. Looking forward to following along. :metal:

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I am in for the ride. Have fun with your son.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Based on the measurements I took off the truck as is, using Nate's point of reference, it should be very close to a 5/7. The big advantages will be ground clearance, ability to tune the ride, and rack-n-pinion steering. And you know the built-in geometry will make it handle!!

He's a good kid, he works hard at school, percussion, and taekwondo so I am excited to give him a cool ride.

We will!!

Tear down started yet? We're going to need some pictures soon. :)

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Nope, it's going to be a while yet. It looks like the PB parts won't show up until the middle March so I'd like to keep it mobile until then. Luckily there are plenty of other builds to watch until then!:metal:

I'm thinking about putting lower trim on this truck to break up the plethora of white. With the addition of a Porterbuilt suspension and late model drivetrain adding the trim won’t be a big deal. The kit from Mar-K with black accent looks pretty nice. What do you all think?
