Edited: 11/15/2011 9:55:09 PM by bagged95s10

This is my old highschool mini i bought stock when i was 15, it was featured in tailgate 2003 and SSM in 2002, in 2004 i bought my xcab project from a customer/buddy of mine and used my engine and parts to finish it. Now that it is done its time to finish what i had planned....

Here's a few pics of it from 2002ish

this is the chassis i built and robbed in 2004 for my xcab, i will be building a new SBC for it and rebuilding the frame from firewall back with 2x4 mandrel bent rails. its already has a 3.25" tradition body drop i did yrs back or i would stock floor it. the front suspension went on my 97 xcab so it will be all new flat plate arms with big brakes. i still have the 9 yr old wheels with new tires still on them.. they are 18's with a staggered tire size, ide like 20's for the rear but ima go with what i got for now and prove u can still roll smaller wheels and have a killer ride. the SBC will be nastalgic styled with a 6x2 intake and 9super7 chrome carbs with velocity stacks, finned valve covers plenty of polished parts and power, should have metal work/ new firewall ect. done by end of year and start the chassis ASAP stay tuned....the wheels 18x8 boyd coddington rollers

nicee

mighty fine work!

I can't find pix to compare it to but if I can remember correctly, this paint looks like the one that was built by Jimmy's Rods in Florida. It has a newer envoy front end or something similar. I believe he is in Anybody know what truck I'm talking about?

nope... way off. Brain Fart!

That truck always reminded me of mine Very nice build with a lot of detail! Dont know what happened to it tho..

I heard it was finished but never saw a complete truck. LOVE your paint/graphics. Will you change it or repaint it the same way?
