Hello there, I have been a long time lurker not really ever posting up builds and whatnot but figured it was time and I'd start with a build for myself.
So I am need of a new shop truck, I don't need a trail rig that will be saved for when I build my flatfender. I want a truck that , Has plenty of Power and tourqe, Has 4wd, Isn't the same as everyone elses, and basicly just bad ass for a DD. Oh ya I want more than 15mpg too! I have owned a halfway decent R30 for a few years and it's been sitting becuase it needs a cam. I picked up a Dodge Ram 4x4 for the drivetrain that I'll be swapping in. Plans are Swap in the Dodge drivetrain, Run a 4-link up front, leafs in the back, Set it up to run 37's and make it a short bed. This isn't going to be an overnight build but as free time allows, in between customer projects.
A few pics,
What we started with
Ripped off the front end and pulled the 454 th400 out
The donor truck
Short bed just picked up the other day.
