Melting_pistons 2.0 build thread
So as many of you know I have already started one build thread on my 07 crew cab which I’m hoping when I finish it up will be a rowdy street/strip truck and a stout 6.70 contender...
A few weeks ago I was talking to a buddy who has a pretty rowdy 6.0 that’s all fiberglass, backhalf, etc. he was having a fueling issue, and the truck was running 6.4s... looking at the hp calculator that put him at around 740hp. At that moment, I knew my crew cab wasn’t going to cut it. I needed to drop a ton of weight. The only issue, I didn’t want to cut up my super clean street truck.
Well it just so happens, that I ran across a good deal on a roller. After some back and forth, that deal fell through, and I stumbled onto this.... y’all know I love my red trucks!!

This truck is a 06 laramie roller. Red of course to match my crew cab. The doors and bedsides had some rust, which is no biggie seeing as it’s going to be fiberglass. The interior is dirty, but not torn up and is all there. So that’s a plus (can be sold)... heated leather seats and full laramie interior should help recoup some of the cost on the truck.
I’ve got to figure out what route I want to go on the motor, and I’ve got to find a core 48. But I’m excited to get started on it.
This build isn’t being done to meet any specific class. I just want to go fast. I would love to chase odss, but I can’t afford all that time off of work. I am hoping for sub 4500# and a mid to low 5 second capability...but run a conservative 5.90 at the local odss events.
I have a ton of little ideas, but this build is going to take a little time. I’ll try to keep this thread updated as I go. I’m planning to get fiberglass ordered within the next couple of weeks. And it’s looking like mid October it will be going for the chassis overhaul, so I have a couple of months to get this thing completely stripped down and ready to get cut up.

Thanks dude. And Man I can’t remember exactly. I think they are a 235 on a 18x10. Can’t remember the aspect ratio. Too small tho. Lol. Just some rollers I grabbed out of the trash. I’m probably going to swap the tires off of those black 18s onto my polished ones and throw them on this regular cab for a roller for the time being

I’m excited to get started on it.. I have a lot of ideas from watching some of the “big boys” over the last couple of years and putting my spin on them. So we will see where it goes

Well I have a buddy who wanted the lowered suspension off of the truck, so yesterday we got the bed, front bumper, and all the suspension torn out.

That truck was local to me. Not sure who had it, but I passed it on the road a few times.

I was thinking it looked familiar to me also. More so the stickers in the back glass is what seemed to click

Maybe the stickers on the roll pan will make it clear if it’s the same truck. One said “2 doors for classy *****s” and the other said “louder than your girl last night” lol

Its definitely the truck im thinking of. The gutted bed and 257 diesel repair sticker confirms that, but sadly the roll pan stickers dont narrow it down any for around here lol. You got it somewhere just off 81 in the Harrisonburg/Staunton area correct?

That sounds about right. He met me in Richmond which was right about half way for me. Saved me a couple hour drive.
And I wish the stickers were what stood out around here. Unfortunately we have the squatted trucks and the bone stock diesels with tunes and 10” tips that try to race me at every stop light.
