Rear end finished, then..........

The shop just finished the rear end, drove it for four days then the engine froze up . Old Chevy engine from PO,don't know much about it, so the truck is going to be parked for awhile. When I get more $$$ then I'll do the front end first, then install a new Ls2 or Ls3 engine and tranny . Here are a lot of picks of the rear, enjoy . g[/IMG]L8R ZFLASH

Thanks guys, all the work was done by Bumbera's Performance in Katy,Tx. Kenny Bumbera did all the fabricating himself, he and his family are stock car racers and do all their on work. Custom fabricated ladder bar system,cut & modified the frame and coil overs. The axel is a Moser 31SP,can't remember about the brakes, but they were around the shop and I assume they were going to be used on one of their cars. Look them up on line, very nice and reliable people to work with. Now about the power, looking into a Ls2, Ls3 with tranny combo out of a Vette, Gto, or Trailblazer SS. This way I can get all the power I want, and decent gas mileage. Looking for between 450hp-525hp all N/A, then maybe in about 5yrs throw in a twin turbo. Yes the rest of the truck is this good, just getting the mechanical out of the way first before the paint. L8R ZFLASH

That 9in looks real nice. The custom brackets make sense I had not send those before with any of the usual vendors. Going to sit very low with that large C-Notch.
