I really dig your project. Hopefully, part three is in the works!
Thanks!! Once i have enough pic’s and video, ill get part three on here. Hopefully the cab will be on and i’ll be able to get a shot of the engine running….stay tuned!
build me one
Ha, yea sorry. Im having a hard time finding the ambition and time to finish my own truck, nevermind another one LOL.
whats that thing weigh, 1600lbs?
Yea engine and trans together weigh about 1500 or 1600. The 453 is around 1200lbs on its own.
lovin the build up. why did you ditch the 6.2? was there something wrong with it or were you in the hunt for more power?
The 6.2 ran when it felt like it lol…but the guy i bought it off of killed it. He didnt believe in letting it glow before startups…he believed in ether, and it ruined the engine…it had no power, and would hardly ever start even on warm days. So i figured re-power, and why not go Detroit Diesel style, lol.
oh darn. stupid people. at least your keep the powerplant detroit.
Hey, are those the stock front springs or do I see an extra leaf? Was wondering how it would handle the extra weight. Nice fab work!!!
Be nice once you get it all buttoned up to plumb a small intercooler in front of the rad. Might give you 10-15 extra horseys 🙂
Great project.
Front springs are Tuff Country 3″ Lift Heavy Duty springs. They are 4 leaf springs, each leaf being .401 ” thick. I am seriously impressed with the way they handled the weight of the running gear in this truck. They worked perfect getting the oil pan away from the front axle.
Yea an intercooler would be a sweet idea someday! There is nothin wrong with some extra pony’s. Thanks for the comment.
Great project. How you plabn on adapting the Transfer Case to the tranny?
Ive got a NP205 divorced transfer case thats mounted behind the transmission. I have more pictures of that coming soon.
???
u should put a vid of u plowin snow with this
how did you get all the rust off the frame and plow mounts? sanding? sandblasting?
snow plowing will be in the future. Im still trying to get her together..lol.
yea. from the time this video starts to the time it was primed and painted is about a 2 week span, that involved sanding, wire brushing, and my favorite which was using an air tool called a needle scaler for the heavy rust and old flaking paint.
what kind of detroit would u recomend for a chevy 2500
nice work, what a beast!
Its looking good. 5 star.
