Page 1: my truck in 05 Page 2: my truck in 04 Page 3: Offroad pics soon to come: antiwrap bar crossover steering new rear bumper in august i went to the truck pull in morley michigan. i pulled in the street modified class. Here is the video i pulled 202' 8". i was pulling against mostly big blocks, (only 3 other people had small blocks) and finished 7th out of 15. here are some pics of the carnage. i swaped in a set of 3/4 ton axles with 4.10 gears and did a shackle flip at the same time. i also replaced the stock 52" leaf springs with some heavy 56" spring. i cut the stock spring perches off and welded some new perches on at the correct angle. i also welded the rear axle. I finely got around to putting my new bed on. It looks alot better, just need to paint it. That comes after more body panels. My tranny went out and I decided to put a manual trans in it. I also went with the hydro clutch. I had to get rid of the clocked tcase as the tranny I got has the tall adapter. It was pointless to clock the tcase and have the crossmember hang way down. I will be building a skid plate for it though till I can redesign a crossmember for it. I actually use my truck as a truck instead of just a DD and wheeler. The plow frame is bolted on and a skid of displays is loaded in the bed. The new engine that I put in my truck to replace the stock engine. Installed the aircleaner is getting some mods and a pain job when it warms up some. specs: .030 over 350 flattop speedpro forged pistons 5.7" pink rods 441 heads gasket matched comp 4x4 extreme cam .462 intake .469 exhaust lift 262 intake 270 exhaust duration with a 110 lobe seperation cloyes true roller timing chain 6" fluidamper holley contender intake moroso gold valve covers and hardware desktop dyno specs are 328 HP at 5500 RPM and 398 TQ at 2500 RPM.

Page 1: my truck in 05Page 2: my truck in 04Page 3: Offroad picsI installed my 4" lift and 35x12.5 tires on 15x10 wheels with 2.75" backspacing I clocked my transfer case using a Go2guy clocking ring . I clocked it all the way up to be above the frame rail. I gained over 5" of clearance. I now have the breakover angle of a blazer in a long bed pickup. The crossmember i built for the clocked transfer case. 1.5" tube with 2" angle iron for the ends and 1/4" bent to fit the mount. the mount is moved 1" to the left for exhaust clearance. i had to add the 1/4" gussets because the tube welded to the angle iron wasn't strong enough and cracked along the weld.Finished my front bumper, I used 27' of 1.5" .120 wall tube. I used my pro-tools mb-105 bender to bend it up.BEFOREAFTERIt doesn't stick out too far and fits perfectly, I still need to add the tabs for my lights and flag and the clevis mounts. That will be next week or soHere are some daylight photos Here is one of my weldsPainted, bolted on, lights installed and wired in
