Sweet updates ! Is that the connect and cruise engine and trans kit from GM? What fuel system are you using ?

Thanks! Yeah it's the GM connect and cruise LSA. Scott's is providing the tank with in tank pump and all hard lines to the front. And we're running an Aeromotive regulator with boost reference.

11.4.14: We got an update from Justin and the guys at Scott's that the truck is finally sitting on the wheels. It's a rough idea where it'll be at for ride height. It's pretty cool seeing it on the ground finally, can't wait to see it again in person.

Those wheels look great on this build ! Nice job. Thanks for sharing the metalwork.

Awesome build. Keeping an eye on this one. Wheels and stance are killer. Look forward to more updates.

12.26.14: The truck is finally home. Bob the owner and a few of his friends took the day off and ran down to Southern California to pick up the truck from Scott's Hotrods. Kody over at Scott's is the man that did the majority of the work on the truck. And he did some great work. The metal work is so well done both aesthetically and physically. Unfortunately Kody was on vacation when he went to pick up the truck so he didn't get to meet him. I stopped by the shop on my way to SEMA and met Kody then. Very nice guy to talk to, even though I was bugging him on a Thursday afternoon. Bob was honestly a little beside himself rolling it into the garage and seeing what he's got sitting there. The scary part is now it's time for us to get to work to get it done. Here are a few pics of the truck. Pardon the extra blower lid on top of the engine in a couple of pictures, I put it there to see what the other style looks like and I forgot to take it off. The last picture is a good shot of the LSA as it sits in there.

Congratulation's getting it home. Hey Rebel tell Bob he's got himself a fine ride there for sure! He must be stoked to get it back. I didn't see if its running or not? We are going to need a video of it when its running.

WSSix 12-27-2014 03:28 PM

That's a good looking truck. Congrats on it returning home.

Thanks Wayne! He's fully aware, and I say that with no cockiness on his part. He's never had a vehicle like this, it's a one time deal for him. Not to mention the meaning of the truck to him and his family, especially grandma. She's coming over to see it tomorrow. And no it's not running. That's where we come in. It's all systems go starting now. My Dad will get the wiring going this week. The first start is going to be a bit redneck. I think we're going to have to flip sides with the manifolds and have turn ups towards the sky. The steering linkage is all up in the engines business. The guy building the headers has his work cut out for him. Haha

Thanks WSSix! It looks so much better low to the ground with all the mods we asked the guys as Scott's to do, and they did a great job!

That's OK its a truck so a little Tractor pull exhaust will be fine!
Looking forward to seeing the first start up. :thumbsup:

Haha, when I told Bob the idea, to say he looked at me a bit strange is an understatement. I guess in all honesty we can pull the linkage out and run the manifolds down. But once we relocate the coils down low, there is no obstruction up high so why not flip the manifolds right...

waynieZ 12-27-2014 08:48 PM

I'd be in for it.!

rjsjea 12-28-2014 04:05 AM

Great looking truck, especially the rear

camcojb 12-28-2014 08:36 AM

This is an incredible build, I love it. :thumbsup:
