It will be painted someday but somehow I found a silver southern short box close by and just got a silver sport front today.

For now front will be stock with some adjustable shocks, rear I have it down to 2 leafs might go to one. I might try a set of cal-tracs but might try some kind of 4 link setup or just try traction bars. I'm figuring how things go and once I run fast enough I will probably back half it eventually with a 9" to lose weight, better brakes, better suspension.

Haven't got real far lately. Frame took forever to degrees. Decided I'm going to build a rotisserie like this make blasting and painting easier. Also going to do a little more lightening on the frame before blasting.

Wow that's a pretty spectacular failure for a 12 valve. Looks like it's gonna be a nice truck though. What are you gonna use for frame paint?

Just good industrial implement paint with hardener as it will never see winter let alone rain. Not going to waste money on something like POR15. Cousin just did his frame with that and I'm less than impressed.

Got my rotisserie made and works perfect. Spins full 360° with one hand and can lock in any position.

Still don't understand why you're doing this instead of a 2.5 truck

Been busy so haven't got much done. Got it painted and picked up a he351 and s475 for $600. Should be enough to get me rolling and fast enough I'll need a cage after that.

Looking good man. If I were you I would go ahead and put a cage in it while it's under construction. Way easier than doing it after its all done and painted.

Not really at this point. There is going to be the bare minimum in this truck and can have it down to frame in a day. I'm not doing the cage until I see how it hooks because I will probably back half it once I get more power. At that time I'll have a cage installed to go with the back half. If I do it now I'll have to tear the cage out and redo it later. I'm having a shop do the cage.
