Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

My buddy Jeff (aka hot trux) wanted me to post a few pics. So here goes,... He's putting a '89-'91 grill in his '85 stepside. Here's a few pics from this weekend. The aluminum radiator will be "sunk" into the core support. All extra holes in the core support will be filled. He has also filled the backside of the front fenders,(all the big square holes),... to make for a smooth look. I'll also include the pic from his avatar. Hope this works!

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

WOW! That's going to be nice. Please keep us posted on the progress...:metal:

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Very nice! One question... why not a fuel cell instead of the saddle side tank? Preference?

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Awesome job, love the detail. How bout some close-ups of the frame?

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

I can't wait to get a closer look of that truck, it's looking good so far!

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Looks awesome! Keep the pics coming!

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

I'll try to get some "close-up" frame shots from hot trux. They'll be posted as soon as I get them.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Awesome! Can't wait to see more....

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

What color red is that???? Thats the sh-t!!!!!!!

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

I think it's Dodge Viper red.

She's gonna be a Beaut!!! :metal:

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

That was the first thought that entered my head as well when I first saw the rolling chassis. With all the shaving that he is doing everywhere else, I never expected to see the tank hanging on the side of the frame! In any case, it is a really sharp looking truck. Can't wait to see what it looks like when completed! Keep us posted. ...Joe

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

That is very nice!

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Here's a few that hot trux sent me tonight. Just some close up shots. This is the engine and reassembled tilt column.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Here's an assortment from underneath.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Here's one of his old show trucks from the Street Machine Nationals. Remember,... this was 1992. Pro Street RULES!

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Great pics! Does he have his compressor and tank mounted on the frame yet? That thing is clean enough to eat off of.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Wow that looks amazing. Tell him to keep up the good work! I like it.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Yes they are mounted in the rear where the spare tire would be.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Very clean!!

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Awesome :metal:did he ever consider Tubular A-arms? that would have put it over the top;) keep up the good work :thumbs:

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

I don't think this was meant to be a "no expense spared" build. This guy is a normal guy,... (like all of us),... with normal bills. This is just a budget build, (if there is such a thing), with ALOT of attention to detail. All work is being done by Jeff (hot trux), with the exception of the upholstery, in a small shop. Including all wiring, mechanical and paint / bodywork. I think the results are amazing. I guess I'm jealous too. I'll post more pics as I get them.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

In other words--$$$$$$RED

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

That's a nice build your buddy has going. :cool:

Is he planning to share the specs for the stance, drop and wheel size for his 'new' setup'?

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

I'll let hot trux answer on the engine. The wheels are 20x8 and 20x9.5 Billet Specialties Vintec's. The air ride is all from Air Ride Technologies. Cool Ride kit up front and air over leaf in back.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

that,s a clean c10 keep it going

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Here's a few pics from my trip up there today.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

And three more,...

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Thanks for the info.

The build is beautiful... :ito:

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

I hitched a ride with lolife99 this weekend, and got to take a closer look at hot trux ride... that thing is going to be sweet!

Can't wait to see that thing flying down the highway.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

Coming out good :metal: that red is bright as heLLZ!!!!!!!!

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

"can't type.......... drooling"

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

The build has slowed a little. The core support is getting some extra attention. Once the front clip is done,... the wiring will begin. Also the seat and door panels are at the upholstery shop. Hot Trux or I will keep you posted.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

That is alot of red! red everywhere...

He does nice work. :)

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
 

I had to make a trip up to see hot trux,... so I snapped these pics tonight. The pics don't due the core support justice. There is a huge number of hours in this thing.
