Re: Project. The most expensive and longest way possible to build a truck
if you got the money i think some aluminum heads would be ausome, if not definatly rework the old ones, are you going with a rolling cam setup

Re: Project. The most expensive and longest way possible to build a truck
daily update.. sorry for all the pics of little progress.. i just fig if i load them all there is no chance of me losing them again.. so today i pullded the engine.. as i said in the beginning, ive never done anything to a car/truck before... it was interesting getting that done by myself, i love the challange (fun stuff) as you can see, my tranny leaked a bit when i tipped it up. (i got a tip from my dad to plug it when i pull the drive shaft out.. I DID DAD. it just caught the tranny x-member when i was pulling the engine and it started to leak.. i caught it though lol) after that was done, i decided to pull the lowering blocks off the blue truck (i need them for my new frame setup) while i was doing that, i had a little play time (the wheels wont bolt up due to being a mII IFS but i wanted to see anyways).... ill get more done on sat. enjoy

Can't wait to see what you end up doing on this....You're going to kill my budget on my future blazer build with that interior.

Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)

Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
its actually a combination of both.. i bought the blue truck as an overpriced "parts" truck (even though i thought it was a pretty fair price ).. in other words i bought a DD (the blue one) and a project.. the roller and im attempting to combine them to make the rendering (or something of the sort)
