This project would turn anyone into a truck lover.
Very clean and neatly done, but mostly just way cool!

Bed is back from the body shop. Had a little rust repair done, some patina matching on the wider inner fenders, undercoat on the bottom and matte clear. I also got all new trim for the truck.

Chassis is ready for the body. Just got the exhaust all finished up and fuel lines ran. Fuel cell by DB Rods and custom driveshaft.

The body has all the rust repair finished and has been matte cleared. The interior and firewall will be painted the OG blue with matte clear also.

Thanks in advance for pic flip.

Out in the sun after matte clear. In the background the Camaro was waiting for the C10 to come out so it can go in the booth.

I wanted the truck to sit lower than it was. Had to change to a shorter spring front and rear and added some 0 rate take up springs. Also flipped the front coil over to where the adj nut was up top. It bottomed out on the lower arm with 2” of shock body left when full droop.

Need to adjust the trim and the sheet metal still but it’s getting there.

Wow. This is another sick build you have .

A little wiring action. Should be running by next week.

Some detail pictures. Got it fired up this week. Sounds amazing. The SC whine is poetic. Goes back to body shop for a few touch ups and panel alignment. Also have to mount the Fiber Forged CF inner fenders. Carpet is the only thing left to do for the interior.

Wow, that truck is so bad ass!

Man i would love a ride in the passenger seat :popcorn2:

Seriously cool Truck!

Why didn't you guys use the 8HP90?

Andrew

I did.

How did I miss that?!? : facepalm:

Looking back I didn't miss it, but I totally forgot about it.

So I assume the stock Dodge engine management system communicates with the TCU inside the 8HP90 over CAN. Are you able to tune the transmission with HP Tuners?

Andrew

I’m running a trans controller from PCS. Sound German Engineering has a harness set up for it and it communicates thru CAN. The Hellephant was set up for a manual. I’m sending the ECU off to Diablo to have it dialed in for the auto.

It’s all together. Got to build an intake now that the Fiber Forged inners are in. Carpet and a little tuning. The 1st drive is going to be intense.

Beautiful!!!!!!

I didn't realize so much of the cab sheetmetal was replaced. A wee bit more than a little rust repair. Turned out killer!

Yeah man we had to get into it. But the thing was it left all the natural patina intact with the exception of pass side a pillar. Now its a hell of a solid truck with zero cancer.

Brings new meaning to "Monster Truck" . wow what an awesome build!

Truck turned our awesome! Can’t wait to hear it!

Looks fantastic!

Are those Hooker exhaust manifolds?

Andrew

Sure looks like it.

They do...but it sure would be nice to get a confirmation from the OP...

I have ideas...LOL

Andrew

Yes they are.

Thank you!

Andrew

Got it back from getting the carpet installed and started to put some miles on it. It is so fast at maybe 70% throttle. I need to learn it and get my roll bar installed before I do much more than that.

Beautiful interior. I love the color!

Andrew

The interior looks great! Have fun driving it and learning to control the power!

Trucks back from Gap Industries. I’ve put 200 miles on it so far and it’s been flawless. Drives amazing and the power demands respect. I’m really taking it slow. Got the paddle shifters wired in and that affords me a little more control.

I really dig that interior the more I look at it. The matte paint was a great choice.

Took the truck over to Mobile Toys in Bryan to get the final touch. Nice box to house 2” Focal 8’s and some low profile kick panels.

The guy who originally pulled my truck out of the weeds reached out on IG and sent me some pictures.
