502 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 I’ve messed around with this truck going on 4 years now and it’s time to finally build it. I cut it down to a short bed a couple years ago. Made some plans and scratch built a new frame for it. I have some of those jps custom wheels on the way. This build will probably get some sort of LS engine. Haven’t completely decided what I’m gonna use yet.
502 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 Ordered some of those jps custom wheels. I have to say they are top notch. I chromed the center caps and the slots. Then I hand painted the red lines. I’m waiting on some parts to come in then I’ll start the suspension work.
Spitfire Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Looking awesome! I think something along the lines of this would fit perfectly into what you're building. http://www.clearlyscale.com/product/gm-lsx454-supercharged-ls9-v8-engine-transmission-set

I think something along the lines of this would fit perfectly into what you're building. http://www.clearlyscale.com/product/gm-lsx454-supercharged-ls9-v8-engine-transmission-set I can tell you its definitely getting an LS engine. I haven't decided whether to go with the modern look or dress it up as an older small block. Edited August 1, 2018 by 502
Limeyglue Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Looking good Justin. Where did you get the wheels from?

dino246gt Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Oh yeah, that is so cool! Great work so far, keep it going! I see ONE side of the bed shortened, I hope you've got the other side to match. LOL Great frame too!

THORDOOR220 Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Looks good so far. Are you channeling the car to make that frame fit and have it sit so low?
502 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 Got this one back on the bench. Front suspension is almost done aside from the rack and pinion. I’ll also probably add some bolt heads as well.
espo Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Beautiful looking suspension and frame. I hope you correct the right front tire tread direction before final assembly.

mustang1989 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Stance looks killer as does the wheels. Good work.
Nick F40 Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 My minitrucker inside me is loving this, can't wait to see this finished. The fab work is so rad! Reminds me of one I saw built for LST this year.
Koellefornia Kid Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 I really like where this is going! Just finished my ´72 Blazer and I definitely would like to see this one finished!
