Wanted to share with you all my autocross truck! Glad to see more of these trucks are out there hitting the cones (actually, going around the cones lol).
Just got new wheels and tires on it so I feel like it's finally worth sharing now that it looks like a real autocross truck haha.

- Procar Prosports 1790 fixed back bucket seat
- G-Force 6-point harness
- Ardent Fab custom seat brackets (product developing)
- Ardent Fab custom harness bar (product developing)
Suspension:
- 5/7 drop
- Cut front springs (were lifted springs, cut one full coil)
- Front upper control arm limiting tab removed from front bracket (to achieve maximum negative camber; -2.5°)
- Ardent Fab custom C-notch

Misc. repairs/maintenance/modifications
- Repaired head liner
- Replaced shag carpet with vinyl floor
- Overhauled front suspension with MOOG parts (control arms, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc.)
- Overhauled entire cooling system with stock Murray parts (radiator, hoses, heater core, etc.)

I'm going to try to update this list as I go as well as post links to my videos of the events I go to. I'll try to be as detailed as I can to share what I've learned and discover what works and doesn't work.
I really hope to keep seeing more and more trucks out there, especially ours! I really think the GMT400 platform is really going to blow up big in the near future just as the C10's have.
Enjoy and check out my Instagram for even more updates on the truck and my metal shaping and fabrication work at @ardent_fabrication!
