[Project]OBS Fullsize

e3mcgrath · 11-09-2009, 04:49 PM

I originally bought the truck for a daily driver while I worked on my Sonoma.

Plans were a 4/6 drop and color-matching the grille and bumpers

Well, I ended up selling the Sonoma and bought some 22s for it

That was all well and good but I miised having a bagged truck and seeing Primednoma's FS just made it worse...

e3mcgrath · 11-09-2009, 04:56 PM

I cam across a KP 6-link brand new for a really good deal

Got the notch in

Finally took it to my Uncle's garage and ripped the back apart to coat with Chassis Saver

Started on the front

Cut the cups, de-humped the control arms

Cut out the fenders and install trailer fenders

That's how it sits now. I still have to notch for tie rods, relocate the computer and fuse box, installed all of the air managemnt

95 S_Trucker · 11-09-2009, 04:58 PM

thats pretty nice, can you get some more pics from the front? i really like those signal lenses, might get some like that for mine

1ATony · 11-09-2009, 05:11 PM

Nice looking project

***DUTN@GAUGE*** · 11-09-2009, 05:21 PM

towb3 · 11-09-2009, 05:27 PM

Changing out brakes/rotors? The truck looks kickass.

slvrs10 · 11-09-2009, 06:37 PM

It'd look tits laid out with the rims in the 2nd pic.

slonlow2000 · 11-09-2009, 07:02 PM

slownoma63 · 11-09-2009, 10:00 PM

damnit makes me miss my fullsize..

Tuckin15's · 11-09-2009, 11:56 PM

Holy shit looks amazing i wish i would have gotten a fullsize.

mr. steve · 11-10-2009, 12:14 AM

***droppedss*** · 11-10-2009, 08:38 AM

fluX · 11-10-2009, 10:22 AM

Hell yeah... looks sick!

Forklift · 11-10-2009, 10:28 AM

***DUTN@GAUGE*** · 11-10-2009, 10:30 AM

going to be weird having a truck all one color ah?

e3mcgrath · 11-10-2009, 04:36 PM

thanks everyone and aren't you just the comedian Dustin

tank mount

MaveRankus · 11-10-2009, 06:26 PM

Looks awesome man. Getting the back done on my truck. Your Coys are looking good on it, haha.

**primerdnoma** · 11-10-2009, 09:05 PM

Nice. You're welcome for making it worse.

Damn, I really want those wheels too and at least I get to see what they'll look like tucking on a bagged truck now haha.

How does your exhaust sound? I have Flowmasters on mine(not sure what model)too. They came on it and the pipes were run horribly so I just cut them off after the muffler for the show season, it sounds so shitty, but it's also a different motor. I'm doing a full exhaust this winter because I can't stand the shit.

bza · 11-10-2009, 09:54 PM

damn dude thats gonna look sick!
keep us posted with pics.

e3mcgrath · 11-11-2009, 03:30 PM

compressors mounted

it's a 350 with Flowmasters (unsure of model as well, already on the truck when i got it) i think it sounds great, nice rumble but not overbearing

MaveRankus · 11-11-2009, 07:00 PM

I'll try to get some pics up sometime man. Getting the backhalf on is no problem put I since some frustration in plumbing and wiring, haha. And yes a BD will definitely be done. I know I should have the cash soon (within a year). Who did you here that from?

MaveRankus · 11-11-2009, 09:48 PM

Why would you want that? That's like getting an s10 with a 3cyl metro engine...

Looking good mang, can't wait to see it laid out!

its hard as **** to find a 350/5 speed scsb.

and the gas milage.

e3mcgrath · 11-15-2009, 07:23 PM

i'd never buy a 4.3l fullsize

compressors wired up and running, valves mounted and painted my fenders

quick fix on the rear bumper, not really feelin it

Tuckin15's · 11-15-2009, 11:02 PM

rear bumper looks tits i think that you should just polish the shit out of it to get it so the bottom isn't faded and it would look good.

***DUTN@GAUGE*** · 11-15-2009, 11:38 PM

murder out the bumper like the rest of the truck. its looks good man. wondered why menards was out of fittings... haha

***DUTN@GAUGE*** · 11-16-2009, 04:04 PM
