Black Truck 2014 build...ladder bars, turbo, fuel system etc etc
The old thread became a bit jumbled so I'm going to start a new thread about this build.
The truck has been sitting, untouched, since February 2013. Just recently decided to get started on it again. We got it in the shop and I started selling parts.
Weld RT-s wheels are gone. 10 bolt is gone. Leaf springs are gone.
We're gonna start from the back and work our way to the front of the truck.

I have a gauge for that
iTrader: (42)
33" tire seems pretty big...what gears are you going to run?
If those are the obx or ebay turbo headers im curious how you are going to get them to work....I have a set but am unsure about using them because they are so thin and come so far forward.
Time goals?

The quality of the headers I have seem really good. Not really bothered by that, but like you say, they stick out a mile. Not sure how that's gonna play out.
Time??? Not sure. I have a number in mind but with the truck being so far from finished, it's hard to say. Still looking for the elusive 9.999 to start with
