Your boys are a trip man. We have set up a secret mission to sabotage your perfect near seat belts..... Lol

Man, back in the early 90's I used to beat up the streets of P'Cola in a black slammed B2200 with a club called "Bump & Grind Minis" ... I had a lot of fun there.... Wonder of the club still exists since we are all in our 40s now. Lol the trucks lookin good! Keep da pics coming!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

They know about my O.C.D. very well, I can't believe they would plot against me!!:lol:

Not sure if your club is still around but I bet there are a bunch 40+ guys rollin around in sweet trucks thinking about the good ole days! Thanks for the kind words.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Hey Buck since your waiting on parts..you can always come help me :) Anyways your truck will look sweet when it's done. Just be patient!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I'm gonna take a look at what you have going on. ;)

Re: Project: Shiro
 

The parts are starting to pile up, sway bar showed up yesterday.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Nice, got to love parts showing up

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I remember that box! I had one sitting in my garage for a couple months, several months ago. If I can't wait to see you putting this together, I bet you're busting at the seams. :lol:

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Oh yeah!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I hear the guys at Porterbuilt are finishing up a run of rear kits which means my order is very near complete, so it won't be long and we'll have a garage full of dropmember parts. I love seeing the updates Nate shares on FB and IG! Great insight into the process, and who doesn't like seeing super sano welds and all the dropmember parts lined up, ready to box and ship. :metal:

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Alright!!! I agree about the updates that nate makes on fb and ig, I really enjoy seeing all the production parts lined up!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Added a small item to my Porterbuilt order last night. Looking forward to a pile of boxes very soon.:D

Re: Project: Shiro

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Very nice! :metal:
I wish he had made those back when I was doing my cab. The look like high quality pieces. Just like all his parts.

Re: Project: Shiro

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Hurry up and pull Whitey apart, I need some springs.....:D.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Get your gloves ready, this cab and bed won't remove themselves!:lol:

Re: Project: Shiro
 

The anticipation of this project is killing me..Like Rob said "Tear it Apart" lol

P.S. when your ready to lift cab/bed..Id be glad to help!!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Nate is certainly helping to make building a nice truck much easier for those of us who don't have or have access to good metal shaping skills. :metal:

I'm excited to say the least, I can't wait to have a mountain of boxes in my garage. UPS guy probably isn't going to be so happy on delivery day! :lol:

We are starting a another family project so the dis-assembly timeline is fluid right now, but I'll give you a shout when we are ready to pull this one apart. I think we can have it down to a bare frame in a day. ;)

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Oh yea. If you need a hand when she's ready let me know I'll ride over.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

8 boxes... 350+ lbs... I think my UPS guy is going to need a back brace!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Any ETA?

Re: Project: Shiro
 

20 March :metal:

Re: Project: Shiro
 

So sweet!!!!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Porterbuilt parts are on their way (thanks Nate and Dave!!), should be here Thursday evening. A new set of shoes are also headed our way from TNT-Motorsports (thanks Tommy!). I saw these on a truck on ebay and thought they would go contrast well with the white paint. We went with a 20x8.5 5.25bs for the front and a 20x9.5 5.5bs for the rear. We'll use Toyo ST II tires in 255/40-20 front and 295/40-20 rear. I ordered 1" narrowed control arms and I have a early (short) 12 bolt housing standing by if needed to tuck the rear to match. I'm stoked to say the least, just need to find the patience to stay the course. ;) Here is a pick of the inspiration and the wheel itself...
