Here is a link to my truck. Been in the works for awhile, but things are really coming together. My Flickr Photos can be found by searching "good beginnings" on the site www.flickr.com/or you can go to my pictures directly here: prochargedrides.com/pub

A few shots taken over the weekend. Several things going on at once, I am waiting on carpet to be delivered, and have started the re-build of the rear end. It's going to have a 3.73 locker and custom aluminum cover along with Cal Tracs bars when done. Next will be the custom dash with Autometer Ultra-lite gauges.

The drop consists of 4 inches in the front with 2 in. springs and 2in. spindles. 6 inches in the rear with a flip kit. I have c-notches yet to be put in, but I drove it without them installed for nearly a year.
As for the motor, my dyno software gives me approx. 650hp at 5600 rpm running 10lbs of boost. The torque numbers are close to the same which should make for a wicked ride! I will post a spec sheet on what the truck has or will have when completed. More pics to follow.

Hey looks like we have alot of the same taste. I just don't have to money. Quick question. Where did you get your front end conversion from? I was looking into that and was not sure if I should go new or find a donor. What parts do you need to replace? Thanks Your Truck is going to rock.
