I just got caught up on this thread. I love the choices you've made as far as engine and suspension and I'm so jealous over the soon to be quick change rear. I really can't wait to see this one come together
 
Thanks!

Thanks guys... it's really the truck I've always wanted to build. Always wanted a quick change rear end and I intend on drivin' this PU all over the place so I wanted it to look good, handle well, cruise easy & melt asphalt. I ordered 3 gears sets. High gear ratios of... 3.04:1, 3.35:1 & 3.78:1. And low gears of OMG... 5.56:1, 5.04:1 & 4.46:1. That should take care of the road & the streets! Photos as soon as the rear comes in!

More pictures!

I've always wanted one of these rear ends but had not really seen one up so close... really an incredible piece of machinery. Now I don't want to put a bed on my truck to cover it up!!! And ck these gears... they're HUGE!!! Pretty sure they can handle the Nail's power!!! I also got the disc brake setup... more on that as this comes together! I can't wait!!!

wow, that is all i have to say. so are the plans still fendered, no hood? because i am getting excited and i am two states away! :p
 
yeah that looks a lot like the green truck that we talked about before. a different grill if i remember correctly though. i know you are getting excited now. all your new shiney toys get to be welded in place.


...so jealous
 
Fenders

Well... I just have glass front fenders & am lookin' for a pair of real truck front fenders but here is the front end mocked up & the rear suspension welded up!
