**whitey** · 07-07-2008, 02:17 PM

jeff i know you had a v6 in this thing before... what motor did you put in it? a 6.0 would be badass.

**c4k30rd34th** · 07-07-2008, 03:17 PM

Chevy 5.3L

**lngtrvlchev** · 07-07-2008, 04:52 PM

its a 2003 5.3 i thought about the 6.0 but heard that they were not as reliable.

**c4k30rd34th** · 08-08-2008, 06:30 AM

Jefffffff! Any updates?

Sorry I havent been able to help... Been busy with work

**lngtrvlchev** · 09-01-2008, 09:09 PM

well no real updates on the truck other than the axles and third member are in but the truck now has a new home at joshs shop in orange county so it hopefully will be a lot easier to work on the truck and get it done maybe a little sooner.
heres a pic of the rear end

a cool shot up on the trailer fully bottomed out in the rear

hopefully we will get the shock mounts on in the next few weeks whenever we get them from the laser cutter

**burDom13** · 09-01-2008, 09:59 PM

**lilak** · 09-01-2008, 11:07 PM

Yea he did... Hes supposed to be getting long bed bedsides and most likely trim them a bit. Not sure on an exact number.
