Finally got all my hail damage out so I figured it was about time to start a thread to keep track of my progress. Plus I know how everyone loves pics.
When I first brought it home.

Preivous owners exhaust setup

In Newport Tn for RRE 2011.

Picked up an 08 tailgate, bumper, and tail lights.

Got tired of the bench seat and replaced it with these.

Picked up a low mileage turbo with an ATS housing and wicked wheel from Chris(TNcoalroller).

About to roll into the paint booth. (Naked Truck Content)

Fresh paint truck still naked.

Got the truck back together with the 2005 front clip.

With 325/50/R20 Mickey Thompson ATZs on 20x12 Fuel Hostages

Now just some random pic whoring.





Thanks for looking guys, and thank you for helping me on this journey modding my truck!

Please excuse the missing fender emblems im still waiting on my Billet Badges.

 

Nice looking truck. Love that blue.

 

Well you've got it looking good. What's next? Go fast parts?

 

Thanks guys! Yes go fast parts are planned. I've gotta start saving for a BTS then its on to some 250cc/200% hybrids and all the little stuff to support that.

 

Very nice job! I love that blue color too and the Harley lights really set it off!

 

I like that color.

 

Thanks! Hopefully this time next year I can say its laying down 500 horsepower.

 

Great looking truck.Those tires and wheel really look good to!

Last minute scramble before RRE.
Add a leaf to keep tires from rubbing.

Traction bars are on.

Painting intercooler tubing.(gotta make it purdy lol)

Located the cause of my oil leak. Stupid hpop fitting oring!

 

Looks nice Brandon, keep it up,

Chet

 

Dont forget about the rods being an 03. Truck looks awesome Did you make the ladder bars?

 

My HPOP fittings did the same... on heck of a leak for sure. Truck looks great!

 

Thanks guys!
Yea I made them from a pair of pto links off a tractor and got the brackets from Ballistic Fab. There is a write up somewhere on how its done if I can find it. The rod issue is no problem I've got a complete forged rod motor on a stand in the garage. I plan on buying some studs and valve springs at RRE if the funds allow for it.

 

Well done. Completely different truck. Keep up the good work on it and keep us updated with pics!

 

This is a nice truck. Just saw it linked from a different thread.

@BlueScab any updates?
