JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
I've had a few threads for this truck but nothing to show the entire build, what’s happening now and what the plans are. So I'll start at the beginning I got the truck for my 13 birthday and was intended to be a my daily driver for school. To make a long story short my truck got skipped in line, in our shop with some other restorations so when I got my license not truck. I drove a junky Plymouth laser through most of high school. The truck took a little longer than expected but it was worth the wait. It turned out a lot nicer then I we expected. Now to the pictures!
The original truck. Basically nothing was used other than the frame and grille. Straight 6 with a 3 on the tree ![]() For some reason I can’t seem to find the very first part of the build. So I’ll start with this, after most if the metal work had been completed. Cab corners, rockers, cab supports, and I small section of floor. The hood and fenders and aftermarket. The frame was sandblasted and painted. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
now the fun Part! The original engine was a thrown together with what we had 408 small block. stock crank, 350 5.7 rods, new cast pistons,cast heads, edelbrock torker 2 intake, decent sized cam and a Holley 750... all junk we had laying around for the most part. I think we had 1200 bucks in the complete engine. I'm thinking it had around 400hp and a ton of torque. the original trans was a muncie 4 speed with 373 12bolt rear.

I also put in a speaker box behind the seat with a 10 inch sub and 6x9 speakers I also put in kick panels with speakers and a Sony head unit. all the speakers were also Sony. sound deadening material was put throughout the entire cab ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
Bed Final assembly
we sprayed in bed liner the painted the bed sides which turned out nice considering how bad of shape the bed was in. ![]() The inside of the fenders were also covered in bed liner as well as the bed sides ![]() ![]() ![]() Where we were on a budget we just went to lowed and bought some pine planks and stained them. Not Ideal but the money was starting to run low ![]() ![]()

The Finished Product
Nothing felt better than all that hard work finally finished and I got to take the first drive in the Fall of 2006. The truck turned out WAY better than I could of imagined and for a 18 year old senior in high school I definitely had the coolest ride in the parking lot ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
well for the next couple of years when I went to college close to home I still go to drive it some. I went to some cruise in's, parades, Dyno days, and basically just had a lot of fun with it.

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
Fast forward to 2011. I just had graduated college got a grown man job and I finally had time to start enjoying the truck again. Until this happened. I was messing around with the timing and changing a few things and I think it leaned WAYYY out.

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
Now I have to build a motor which is fine. I was ready for a little more power. so this is what we did. another small block 400 high nickle block, eagle rods 6 inch rods, srp forged pistons, aluminum heads, tall air gap intake, bullet custom ground solid lift cam, MSD digital 6al box and a ProForm 750 carb. Machine work was done by Buck Racing Engines and a drag racer buddy who used to build engines put it together. this set us is supposed to be good for a little over 500 hp. I forgot to mention that I had put a Richmond 6 speed in it a few years back

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
Since I now had a engine that would rev to almost 7k I thought it would be good to have a tachometer. this is one mod Im quite proud of. New vintage 10k tach in the factory location

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
Everything had been great with the new engine but then the one thing I didn't replace failed... and let me tell you it was like a bomb went off under my hood. The harmonic balancer decided it didn't want to in one piece anymore. This was during the fall of last year

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
Okay so now we are almost up to speed. Like I said the balancer broke in the fall of 2012 and I replaced everything on the engine that it destroyed and got it running again but at that point it made me sick to even look at the thing so I parked it in the corner and left it. until about mid way through the summer I decided to start piddling with it here and there and did a few thing but the more I looked the more stuff I noticed needed to be fixed so about 2 months ago I finally decided to buckle down and get it done.
I had a very nice truck before but if I'm going through all this work it would kill me the have the exact same thing as before. Not only that but I want to do some of the things that I didn't have the money or knowledge back then to do. So here are the most recent updates. New hood ![]() This was by far one of the worst fitting hoods I've seen but nothing the welder and hammer couldn't handle ![]() The Bed came of for a little rust repair, body work, new wood, fleet side tubs and so I could put the c notch in. ![]() ![]()

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
Iva also done a lot of small things like adding a new cpp deluxe trac bar, shock relocation kit, new springs for the rear to drop it another 2 inches and cleaning the frame and repainting it. I also am cleaning up the engine bay a bit with with new plug wires routed under the headers, new valve covers and a lot of odds and ends.
new deluxe trac bar with the springs install and shock relocation kit installed ![]() ![]() I also made new 3 inch tail pipes because I didn't really care for the way it sounded or looked with the 2.5 tail pipes ![]() engine bay with new valve covers, air cleaner, breather, dip stick and plug wires rerouted ![]() ![]() and this is how it sets at the moment ![]()

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
I currently don't have a fan shroud but I don't think I will need one with my new electric fan so I changed these up to make the look a little better.
![]() ![]() ![]() I think they turned out nice and the new stainless hardware looks good too

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
Well all that took a while! haha but now everyone is up to date.
I want to take this truck to the next level so the plans are to -paint it basically the same minus the flames -new wheels maybe 18x8 up front and 20x12 out back -narrow rear end or maybe jump to a ford 9inch -black walnut bed -fleet side wheel tubs -recover seat/ maybe even change the entire interior I’ll try to do my best to keep this thread updated

Re: JUS2QWK'S Official Build Thread
I haven't had much time to mess with the truck as of late but I did get out in the shop and put my new fuel tank in that came from LMC trucks. I think its a 18 gallon top fill. I didnt want to use the straps so I came up with this.
not sure what the actual name of this kind of metel is but it worked well ![]() ![]() welded studs to the frame. Im also gonna switch to a lock nut but didnt have any on hand ![]() I think it looks pretty good setting in there ![]()
