spike tv checit out right now. rcsb. 8.1 sweet.

 

you guys just missed it .it had a 8.1 with nitrous hugger orange with body caddling.

 

I was trying to watch it, but got occupied doing something else . Hence why I'm on here...

I saw it in the background and thought it was that truck from the stylin' concepts customer website, but I was wrong...

More info please.....

I'm going back to the TV before I miss more.

 

Missed it..

 

It started life as a 3/4 ton HD longbed with the 8.1, but was only a cab and chassis with no bed. The frame was shortened and a short bed was installed. They then but a 1500 body on that frame???? That was about all he said about it, but I did notice that it only had 6 lug wheels on it. It also sat very low, which makes me wonder if the 3/4 ton frame was really under there, as the frames usually show a good bit on the 3/4 tons in the rocker panel area. The truck also had air-ride suspension.

 

You know whats really funny? That was the exact truck that I was trying to find info about a couple of days ago. I'm thinking about building something similar and I remembered that I had seen that truck on Trucks a few years ago but I couldn't remember anything about it. It was pure luck that I saw it in the background while he was working on Copperhead, so I stuck around and watched the segment on it. Do you know who owns that truck or any other specific info about it?


EDIT: It wasn't the 3/4 ton frame. The only thing that they used from the 3/4 ton was the cab and motor. Then they took the 8.1 and cab and dropped it in a 1/2 ton frame and short bed. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

 

That truck was built a couple years ago I believe. Because that 572 that was on the same show was a couple years ago. Here's a link to that truck.

I saw this in truckin about 3 years ago. If memory serves me correct, it started life as a 3/4 and they took the body/motor-tranny off and put it on to a 1/4 frame? and a new short bed because the 8.1 only came in a LB

I still have my issues, i'll try and get around to looking for it

 

the trucks guy said it only had 340 hp which is stock but on the site it says 543. weird.

 

man that show is starting to suck , it shows the same episodes all the time and , nevr comes out with new episodes. and he never finished the copperhead project. yall know what would be sweet , to present parishs truck and build a radixed or turboed silverado.
