"i dont want a V6 in a truck" You should have said "I don't want a twin turbocharged higher power higher torque engine because I like my weak V8 cause it sounds good. I'm more interested in show than go"

So I got the right side totally bolted up and lights in. I still need to clean up the edges of the fiberglass by the tailgate. Bed suprisingly feels supee secure and sturdy. Ordered a new exhaust and trying to get everything ready to set the bed to linex. The entire bed, fenders, and bed rails will be linex. The rest will be premiered for now and left to either paint or wrap... not sure which way to go yet.

That is a sad statement. Not everyone agrees with "newer is better", ie warped oil pans, cam phaser and valve train issues, etc.

His build will definitely be a one off custom.

Update.. so i finally pulled the trigger! Stripped the back off last night and got the bed and sides back on and squared away.. for now.. stock bumper fits back on but no way am I keeping it. So much room for tires!!! Wheels are ordered still trying to figure out exactly which tires I want..

After last night my brother and I woke up and tackled the front end... what hurricane? Lol. Turned out great.. the truck goes off to the fabricator friday to get the custom front bumper made for the front end to connect to and tilt off of. Paint booth is set up for the 9th of sept. Looking to do the same ingot silver and then maybbbbe wrap later..
