And so it begins .... 2 builds going on at once hmmmmm.

I like that chop on the bumper man. makes it look so much better

good to see a Silverado being used. I am going to pick up my lift kit, tires and wheels today after work actually....I plan on using it for mightier duty and family camping so naturally I justified a 6" procomp lift and 35's lol. hard to beat a vehicle that comes with an automatic rear locker...

next major project would be axle swapping. I sourced a 14 bolt FF rear end with 3:73 gears already in it. major score at 150$. and with the gear ratio I wanted also. finding a 8 lug 10 bolt front out of a 3/4 ton was proving more difficult than I though. I didn't have the 1600$ for a dana 60...

heres a pic of me finishing up the lift. it would be another month before I could drive it however. I needed a longer cardon driveshaft with high angle u joints and yokes. I would hit up High angle driveline out of California for this. also a great company to work with. heres a pic of the...

it was also time to make room for the extra flex :). I didn't want the truck to look cut up so I figured I would try something a little different. I cut the bottom inch off the fenders, then cut 3" more off. then I took that bottom inch and welded back onto the truck....I think it turned out...

Here’s the springs. You’ll notice they use thinner leaves and more of them to obtain flex and ride quality also made in the USA :)

the next thing on the list was fixing the suspension issues and get some new rubber on it. suspension is always a get what you pay for scenario. I have had a dozen trucks with a dozen different lift kit brands in the past. the problem I have always incountered on the cheaper lifts was mostly...

This is the product I used. its about 200$ I think if I remember right. and that includes the UPOL gun here is one of the last taken shots of the truck before the raptor liner this stuff lays on like butter. if I would have known how easy it was to spray (even on a windy day) I would have...

it doesn't look like much at this point. in fact it still needs soooooo much work it was hard to stay focused. things I still wanted to do at this point soft topper front and rear axle swap 3:73 gears new tires and wheels new suspension (all of it) front and rear bumper builds dash replacement...

With the truck finally up and running strong it was time to move onto something a bit more “fun” Next up is ripping off the camo wrap. I’m not a fan of camo so I wasn’t to sad to it go. Besides I was really curious to see how much bondo the 37 year old truck had. Now over my time on...

Well where to start. ... the nice thing about the square body Years is there are roughly 30 years of different trucks and cars that parts are direct bolt swaps. Gear box’s. Transmissions. Engines. Axles. It’s almost like building a lego. First thing I had to do was source a cheap 350. The 355...

not sure I have one favorite purchase...all of my upgrades have all worked together to make the previous purchase perform to its max....i.e. suspension made the truck ride better, flex way more, and made way for tires. but it wouldn't have worked at all with out drive shafts...and lockers made...

I LOVE THESE THINGS....I have no experience with the disco's at all. what exactly is the unreliable part with these? engine, suspension, electriconics? is there a fix to make them more reliable??? I have been jonesin for one .. do the make them in diesel?
