Got some time this past week to put some work in. Kyle brown "kbracing" helped me do some sheet metal work in the bed and in the mean time I was able to use his knowledge on squaring away the chassis. He was car chief for Joe Gibbs racing "nascar" for a few years. So he gave me a lending hand and some knowledge on how to get this thing lined up.

That being said, I just ordered some qa1 coil overs which should be here next week. We're setting the Truck up to be able to run coil overs when I want to go play at the track by simply unbolting the shock and sliding the coil on. Should be interesting to say the least., I'll post a few shots of the sheet metal work and the front bumper mounted here shortly..
should do shockwaves so u can just swap shockwaves with coilovers :imo:

Havent updated this build in a while. Ive been having a lot of issues with voltage in this thing so I decided to get a new alternator (other one was factory from 02) run 2awg to battery (In the rear of the truck) and run the the ground from block to battery aswell. Figured it was a good time to clean some stuff up so I made a panel to go in between the radiator and head lights to hold a fuse block and the fan relays. Ended up putting a new power steering pump (the old one was leaking ) and rack and pinion at the same time. And I also through a avs air gauge in the console. I'm going to put my afr gauge in there and the make a bezel to fit around it. After seeing tukn4s truck at lst and finding out that he drove it the whole way really motivated me to get this thing rolling. Here's a few pictures of the progress. Rear sway bar and new battery box are next

That thing lays out nice! Love those wheels too!

Thanks brother. I think the only thing I want to do is go with bigger tires. I used to have a really thick tire before I had these wheels and I've always been a fan of the prostreet look. Plus it's insurance for the wheels incase you hit something lol. Here is a old picture from when I had 20s..
