Well after much anticipation I have finally been able to get my truck back into the shop and on the hoist for the rebuild.

The truck is being rebuilt for SEMA 13, it was originally built back in 02 for SEMA and I figured its time for a rebuild.

Just a little 390 with K1 crank, H beam rods, IMM heads and Diamond pistons.
As you can tell I have a long road a head and I will try to keep everything up to date for you guys!

Thanks guys, the combined census looks to be in the low 400rwhp range. In fact I have made a judgement call on the cam to go more for sound over performance (I can see you guys shaking your heads) lol. I made the call solely based on the fact that this will more then likely spend most of its life parked and driving around shows rather then out tearing up the street.

Well everything slowed to a halt while waiting on parts to show up. Anyways we got the wheels in after waiting for 3 months only to have the powder coat be no where near the color of the truck so we sent them back and waited another 6 weeks. Now they are here and beautiful, all polished up! The front suspension will be in Monday as well as the tires for the front. Custom 4 link bars went out yesterday so I expect them Tuesday.
Stubby little axle
