    Unfortunately I don't think they have a lift for my truck. I can only find half ton 6 bolt stuff, I'm not sure if it will work or not. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Project: Salty Questions and Feedback

    No problem, I asked for recommendations. That's all I needed to hear. I was debating spending the money on an actual lift. Truth about the keys and blocks is that I found them laying around the shop so I thought I might as well try and use them. Sucks I won't be able to, but at least I know it...

    Project: Salty Questions and Feedback

    Question for you guys, debated starting a new thread for this question. I threw 2.5" keys in and 3" blocks. I know the only weight in the truck right now is the motor, tranny, and transfer case, but the back end is sitting roughly 5"-7" higher than the front. I used my 2wd parts truck as a...

    Thanks, got the idea from a buddy of mine. I'm planning on using the truck as a truck after it's built so added strength is always good. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Thanks, yeah I'm going on 7 months now. At least it's keeping me out of trouble. A bit of a pain to find tires for the rims I picked up. 16x10 Eagle alloys. I think -24 offset. I really like the General Grabbers SRL (AKA Red Letter). Going for 315 75 16 when the time comes. Sent from my...

    Got the motor back together lookin good. The aluminum brackets I cleaned using a steel shot wheelabrator. Valve covers were sandblasted as well as the oil pan. Everything was thoroughly cleaned after and then painted. While the oil pan was off, I flipped the block upside down to inspect the...

    Hey guys, another update, hard to stay up to date on the forum because I'm in school for my millwright apprenticeship. Motor has been pulled and continued tearing down until I was almost at just the frame. I wanted to keep it a rolling chassis just to make it a bit easier to move around...

    Project: Salty

    Lots of work done since last month, what was once a simple frame clean up turned into a full frame resto. Frame is going in for sandblasting in the next couple of weeks. Transmission is getting rebuilt and a shift kit. A buddy of mine that works at the transmission place told me that the problem...

    Update, the truck has entered the shop! Now the real fun begins. First thing I did was make sure the cab was fully disconnected from the frame, Engine, and tranny. Then I removed the body mounts. They sure are crusty, will have to order up new ones. Then up came the cab! To make the truck a...

    Been waiting patiently for my buddy to finish his old Datsun before I throw my truck in the shop to pull the cab off and clean the frame. In the meantime I bought new mufflers and high flow cats. welded them up, waiting on my Magnaflow Tru-X Crossover pipe to come in. for now here is some pics...

    Boosting a 350 Vortec

    Thanks a ton, definitely a confidence booster. Yeah I'll be throwing this thing together myself and I'm giving myself loads of time. Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of next summer, maybe the summer after. Maybe that's a little optimistic! Are projects really ever done? I want to put this...

    Long tubes on a 4x4

    I'm putting a set on my 99 k2500, but I don't know what name they are. I tried eyeballing it and they look pretty tight but it looks like the long tube headers should fit. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Boosting a 350 Vortec

    How many lbs injectors should i go for with 8 - 12 lbs of boost? Edit: I read that the stock is 19lbs

    Boosting a 350 Vortec

    Yeah that's what I thought. 28lbs sounds really excessive and way more than what I need. I'm just looking to get a little more fun out of it. I have a wastegate off of another turbo that dials down the boost to a max of 15lbs. If I'm going to build up the bottom end a bit, would it be worth...
