Oh ya I completely understand that!! When I saw mine for sale for only 800'insaid screw it and hopped on it! Then I kinda did the same thing again about 2 months ago. I love the old Sea Ray boats and found one in great shape with a popped rod for a great price.... So I bought it haha now I have...

Did you ever see it again? It's really tough finding the 40s era in decent condition and not pay more then 5k with a bed. I met this guy out at hammers last year (pic was a screen shot not from hammers) and talked with him for quite a while about his. Daystar built it and it was first featured...

I did and egr delete

Hey no worries! I'd still be happy with 20. Was just hoping for more haha. And I can't wait to start to drive mine so I can hear the turbo spool haha

Yes! I love that website. There is a guy out here that will sell you the whole truck or just the frame or what ever you want if your interested.

Ohh ok I'll look and try to figure it out.

Yessir! It's a '53 dodge m37. It's the attic model and was an airforce troop carrier according to its data tags. To me they are so ugly they are beautiful. Always wanted one since high school and scored this gem for 800 last year. She's sitting and waiting for heart turn

So this is when I was having issues starting the damn thing. I drove the crashed truck so I figured it was electrical. Turns out it wasn't. It was the fuel pressure release valve. It was only allowing 700 psi in the rail to build up. The squeak you hear is just the cold air intake rubbing as it...

For the rear suspension I'm using (for now) the stock 3500 springs for 96. Again went back to off road design for the rear shackle flip kit. It lifts the truck 4".and a 2" steel block. I will sit a little lower in the rear but I don't mind it that much. Off road design has made a lot of money...

So the time line of the stuff I did is a little out of order in comparison to the pictures being posted. After the core support was cut up to fit the radiator and intercooler I started to put the suspension back under it. I learned wth the off road design kit that the shackles included will bind...

Aaaand while I had the turbo out I figured why not delete the egr and factory bridge pipe smog bs. I do not have pics of that process tho sadly. Because I was trying to be budget conscious I ordered a bridge pipe from werhli custom fab back east. They modify the factory tube and weld on 3" pre...

So whike I was enjoying the brown truck i decided to try to get some kind of work done on the diesel. It took Me and 6 other buddies (who aren't srconny) to lift the crew cab body and put it on the Toyota chassis for holding. It no joke probably weighs close to 2k. It was a huge pain in the ass...

And if you want to follow the thread Jaryd http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/1996-silverado-6-5-duramax-swap.40444/page-6#post-544860

Ya stupid Cali smog bs. I need to get out of this state

.

These pics are from big bear California on the trail John Bull. It's a black diamond trail and parts of it are extremely technical especially in a full side 20 foot truck. If you look it up on you tube you will see. I didn't get many pics cause it was getting late in the day and didn't want to...

So the SAS kit I used is from off road design. I posted pics of the brackets a while back. The are very stout! The great thing about this kit is its 100% bolt on! It also comes with all bolts necessary to install. You only need to supply shocks springs and cross over steering. I literally only...

Ok well that's a good response! So basically the long overdue posts is cause I was working a dead end job. When I started the build I was making decent money, but had to leave due to medical issues with the job. So I started working a dead end job with a massive pay cut. BUT! I'm amking good...

So it's been about 2 years since my last post on this thread. A lot has come about but then it hasn't. Truck is almost done, but if people are still interested I'll post what I have been dojng.

MrMarty! No worries at all I appreciate the input either way! It's nice to know you have a community of knowledgeable people that can help you out when your stumped! (Even tho I may have been an idiot on this one. Or the guy a parts plus) And Jaryd thanks!! This truck is worth no where near what...
