I’ll preface this build with a little back story. I’ve had my 98 12v for almost 10 years. It went from stock, to lifted 12” on 40s, then back down to lowered on street tires. Some of you may remember it in its different stages.
It was at a point where it made about 750-850 hp, and ran consistent 11.50s on fuel and had ran a few 11.1s with some spray, but always had a boot issue or somethin small prevent me from breaking into the 10.9x range that I knew it had in it.
I knew I ultimately wanted to go faster, and the brown truck was at the point where it needed a roll bar and to go on a diet. The truck is pretty nice so I made the choice to start with something else that was purpose built.
The build started when I found a 97 eclb that had been rolled over.
Then I picked up this V10 C&C 3500 ex forest service truck
Stripped the 12v to the frame
Set the green cab on and took about 30” out of the frame
That was last October. And it sat like this until around May of this year.
I’m going to try to show the steps in decent detail so it will be multiple posts.
