more pics, have same truck baggin mine now and want to see more pics for when I start my body drop! Where did you get that blower box from or did you make it ? Thanks

--------------------------------------------

The blower box is from Haggarg Fab (www.haggardfab.com) As for pics this is about all of them. All the pics of the build are in my Photobucket link in the first post. Or you can check www.Floridatruckscene.com under the members projects forum to see some pics. Is there something specific you are needing to see?

so since my last post the hydro boost is done. Thought i was gonna have to redo the mount for the fuse box to clear the lines but luckily i didnt have to. I did however have to make a fuse box cover. I'm pleased with it...wish it was better but it looks decent. Coolant resevoir is mounted just gotta plumb the lines to it. driver fender is mounted. I am thinkin the problem with the passenger fender is it is an aftermarket fender and is a piece of Chinese shit...on thursday i hope to get the fuel cell in from devious and mount it and the air tanks so i can finish the valves and get those mounted so i can strip it all and Por15 the rest of the frame. Also the interior is all together except for the console which is a project for friday.

That looks really really clean man! Keep up the great work!!!

thanks for the info on the blower, and the pics you showed clears up some of the problems that I was wondering about, truck looks great, thanks again

Fuel cell is in and so are the airtanks....all thats left on the frame itself is the shocks, a brake tab, and mounting the valves.....frame should be painted sunday and then monday i will plumb all the brake, fuel and air lines and start to finish the bed floor...i hope to have the bed floor ready for some kind of finish by monday of next week...anyways here are the pics from today.

Shits looking good! Got one Question, Is there anything under that fuel cell holding it or is it just held up by the two tabs on the side? Only asking cause Ive seen them break off when the tank is full and your crusin hitting bumps! I'd bolt some support under it so you can take them on and off if you ever need to drop the tank!

right now yes....i was lookin at that as i loaded the pic...i think i am gonna run some sort of angle irondown the side and bolt it in to the frame...i am tryin to make it so i can drop the tank out without takin the bed off...but ya it will be addressed

Over the past couple days i have finished the painting and reassembled the ass end and 4 link. The fuel lines are plumbed and all the fuel wiring has been extended and is finished. Made a battery bracket today but i dont have pics yet....its drying. i am waiting on valve brackets to get here monday so i can mount the valves and plumb and wire those...just have one compressor to tighten and then wire the both of those. so tuesday i will do the valves and finish the air system and hopefully start the exhaust so that wed and thur i can wrap up the bed. We are not worried about finishing the floor for the show so dont be upset when it has no floor. On to the pics

for those that were worried i did add some support to the bottom of the tank

stripped

mornin after paint

fuel lines

So the truck is driveable now....rolled it out to lakeland for a annual night time show tonight and it rode solid down the freeway....blew one airline earlier today and made quick fix of that issue.....spent 80% of the day troubleshooting the overheating issue (air in the system) all in all its a solid truck....quiet down the road...no shakes or rattles at highway speeds....to me this rides and sounds as stock as could be desired from a bodydropped truck.....still have some odds and ends to take care of and those will wait for the narrowing of the axle and some much needed rest for both of us.



and here is the first drag...right after an airline popped out of its fitting

hell yeah looks great layed out ...awesome job now drive it over here today for the show here in town lol .....
