I gotta see this with the window.

flnole78 · 08-05-2008, 12:19 PM

nice start, can't wait to watch the progress on this build.

hotmotorsports · 08-05-2008, 12:32 PM

Well About the window, Unfortunately the rendering artist cant just draw the design in my head and i am a crappy artist so as for now the rendering will have a window that blacks out the cab. When the truck is done it will not have any side windows. The doors will be capped and they will open normal.

TuckaBlaze · 08-05-2008, 12:45 PM

I wanna see.

Hurry up.

hotmotorsports · 08-05-2008, 02:09 PM

Today, I pick up the 5.3l V8 and i just got word that Doug Thorley headers came through and ill have a new set of headers tomorrow so Thanks go out to Thorley check them out at www.DougThorleyheaders.com

this is what they look like

When i get them ill post pics of the install on the motor.

Yeah its not going to be a complete roll cage but it will give the body back its structure. The tubing will be integrated into the dash, center console, and the x-tra cab, All covered with sheet metal. Ill be bending tubing and installing it tomorrow so ill take pics and show you what i mean.

tolowinorlando · 08-05-2008, 02:40 PM

Truck is "three legs cool" Brian! Is the rendering correct for Your grille and headlight arraingment? The stash you were building up at the BBQ You hosted looks a little different.

Yeah the headlights will be from a Blazer and so is the grill i am just cutting out the center of the grill and hand making a laser cut grill to replace it. But yeah the headlights will be from a blazer which will look better then the rendering with the old s10 lights

dawgnutz · 08-06-2008, 04:01 PM

Nope Toyo sponsored the truck and i have a fresh set of 235-30r22's for the tront and 275-25r24s for the Rear. The wheels are Oasis Smoothies. They make the wheel for spinners but they are custom making them without spinners for my truck. And they will be engraved with "COLD STEEL" on the hoop. 22x8.5 and 24x10.5's

BaggedOn420s · 08-06-2008, 05:43 PM

sdime98 · 08-06-2008, 05:56 PM
