did you have to cut the ends of your frame rails off to fit the bed? was the rear step chop a kit or custom?

matt, the plug wires a MSD 8.8's , i don't remember the brand of the wire looms ,but SUMMIT RACING sells them . the reason for the 45 degree boots is they just look good. i really appreciate your comments about my truck, thanks ,mike

meathead95 , yes i did have to cut about an inch off the end of my frame, but don't forget tha my bed was shortend by 4 1/2 inches in the rear , a stock length bed would fit withou cutting the frame. the step shaver was a kit that i got from NEWSTALGIA WHEELS, but i don't think the carry them any more.

OJOE · 04-16-2007, 10:09 PM

is that harbor orange or sanitation orange? looks good

onetonk5 · 04-16-2007, 10:28 PM

I heard it was an original special edition Yugo color.....thats what i heard.

bcubed · 04-21-2007, 07:51 PM

New pictures

I will leave the big news for Mike to say himself

KP1972 · 04-21-2007, 09:14 PM

I am not a big fan of Orange, but I love your truck. That under hood area is BEAUTIFUL!

onetonk5 · 04-21-2007, 10:20 PM

Those wheels cleaned up pretty nice. You need a few bumper bolts.

**jamie72** · 04-21-2007, 10:47 PM

Powerball Mini, best $18 you can spend .. I did mine too, since mine are chrome I used chrome polish ... they look the best they have since they were new.

WinDancer · 04-22-2007, 02:33 AM

Dang, that is a sweet truck! Just read through the entire post, enjoyed every minute of it. You work is amazing, along with your energy. Hope you get many, many years of enjoyment out of your work.
Thanks for sharing it with us!

mkundo · 04-22-2007, 03:47 PM

Looking at your progress photos just bringds me to say that you have a pieace of art. I would think being seen driving a art object like yours would make you feel proud of all the hard work behind a build like yours.

watahyahknow · 04-29-2007, 07:25 PM

awesome truck it realy is

**Yukon Jack** · 04-30-2007, 12:29 PM

That is a very wicked truck!

race-n-jason · 04-30-2007, 04:03 PM

Mike, I've been keepin tabs on your build. "YOU NAILED IT !!!" Lookin' awesome.

Have you driven the truck enough to formulate an opinion on your master cylinder setup (late model mc without booster)? I'm interested in this setup.

Thanks in advance,

OLDIRON69 · 04-30-2007, 04:05 PM

One of a kind! Great job, you must have some good friends as well to lend a helping hand.

Thanks in advance,

the brakes work very well during normal driving , they also work during quick stop as long as you remember tha you don't have power brakes . i had to try that out the other day a cop decide to cut across traffic and every one in front hit the brakes at a about 55mph to almost 0. she stopped fine.i will be adding rear disc in the future and possible change to a wilwood mastercylinder . thanks for the comments. mike

mike nutt · 04-30-2007, 08:06 PM

got the truck on the lift to check the collector bolt ,thought i'd post some pics of the exaust after it was redone . here's the pics

**SactoJim** · 05-01-2007, 12:13 AM

Truck is beautiful Mike! That bed turned out great and you won't see another like it.

What muffs are you running and do you have any sound clips?....seems to me I saw you do a little burn out awhile back.
