or lack thereof

long story short.been my dream truck since ive been 5.put the project off and off and off and now im starting it back up.

plans are:
build full frame
4 link
bags
ls motor of some sort turbod
shortened rear end
im thinking a satin black on everything with billets and a 14"ish wide rear tire setup
bucket seats with custom center console


day i brought it home

my squeeky belt


sold the 22s. cut the coils.also blacked out the grille which ill show later

i smoked the taillights

also a pic of the h4 hella conversion and hids

here you can kinda see the black grille

and as of this weekend it looks like this right now.

will continue tearing it apart till i get it down to just a frame

also as you can see i put 06 chevy leather power seats in it(which are for sale). they push me too far forward and too close to the steering wheel so they must go

Looked pretty good with the cut coils :dunno: i woulda drove the shit out of it like that. Love the bodystyle though, and looks like you got a pretty clean one.

By 'build full frame' do you mean a BD, or just a new, clean, painted frame?

got a little progress done tonight

plan on pulling the motor/trans either tomorrow or thursday and hopefully the cab this weekend when i get some buddies over.

adjusted-full frame meaning building a full frame from scratch out of all new boxed metal. im going to have to z the front and backhalf the rear to get this thing to lay so i figured why not just build a whole new frame. im not bodying it because these trucks are like 1/2-3/4" from being bd'ed already so i dont really care. as for the cleanliness there is virtually no rust on any of the body panels or in the usual cab spots.its straight and clean but you know ever truck needs their own little touches

got the motor yanked and the cab loose.just gotta wait till i get some buddies over this weekend to pull the cab off

ya its been a big argument with myself whether to bag it or to link it on coilovers.ive already had a bagged blazer so was itching more towards the coilovers.asked a few opinions from people on what i should do and not one said bagged.even le wiffuh likes the coiled idea better.so here we go
