Kmbz71 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Alright yall.. i need some motivation. Ive got alot of cash and time invested in my truck build and all it really needs is some time and a couple of odds and ends. It a 2006 Silverado z71 and its one of those ones that has the shorter crew cab beds. I talked myself into coating the bottom of the cab today and juat thought i might could get a little more motivation to get the truck done quicker. Ive had the frame soda blasted and now is powdercoated. Ive got all new parts down to every bolt just about. I got new ss brake, fuel, and transmission lines. New 408 stroker with afr 230cc heads and a lsxrt intake. Kooks ss header and y pipe. Tci torque converter and flexplate. Completely new hd transmission with billet shaft and upgraded planetary and has the ratio upgrade. I also converted the truck to 8 lug before i even decided to do a frame off rebuild so it has a 14 bolt rear with 4:11s. Let me know what ya think!

Kmbz71 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Just picked up my uca's! They are custom fabricated so i can use a lifted knuckle that accommodates the 8lug hubs. Gonna get the running gear on so i can roll the frame this weekend. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmbz71 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Got the front and rear suspension bolted up. Its time to set the new engine and tranny on the frame and get brake and fuel lines squared away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
