Killer truck........Very killer truck! I dig the cambered up rear tires. What IRS are you running? I just finished bagging a 56 pick up I'll get some pics this weekend at springfield!

But I think we need some more pics of yours!(engine, suspension)

Very nice truck, I'd personally like to see chrome bumpers though. Still looks clean as heck though! Once its all together the painted bumpers will propably tie in nice :headbang:

Looks great! You gotta love the way that thing is slammed on the ground. Looks like your paint and body man did an excellent job. Congrats!

:hmm: It looks kind of strange without the glass in the side view. But I kinda like it :dunno: It's a fine lookin' ride. Hard to believe you can make something that big look sleek.

It's House of Kolor True Blue Pearl over their silver base. It's running a tube chassis with C4 front and rear and Air Ride Technologies' Shockwaves front and rear.
The paint came out pretty nice... and it should have being that it did hard time in "Paint Prison"... Two years worth!

I recognize the chassis....I have some bare metal pics on my other computer.....Very nice I dig the rocker arm set-up, very cool! Did you do the chassis work? Nice pics, interior looks equally as impressive!

I did do all the chassis work at my shop. I own Porterbuilt Street Rods out of Mesa, Arizona. We specialize in chassis and suspension design, development and fabrication. We are currently building three other trucks with near identical chassis and suspension configurations. I will upload more pics over the weekend.

WOW..:eek:


Just love the paint! I would (personally) like too see some tubs and
a "wide" tire in back..but thats the hot-rodder in me,and i just like
the old school looks..big nasty big block,polished 8-71 maybe overdone
but always a great look.I should be at oldfarthotrodder.com lol..:bananna2:

Very nice,please post more pics!!
