Well, I broke down and finally joined the pro-touring.com forum!
Many probably have seen the truck at local/national events including the Pro Touring Truck shootout, Optima Ultimate Street Car, Goodguys and Sema!
The truck initially started out as a shop truck that we used to carry scrap aluminum and titanium to the recyclers. After finishing "Buck" my 1973 C10 that is finished in HOK candy paint and auto crossing it a few times I realized that I was going to get injured eventually as race cars/trucks do.
We stripped her down, cleaned her up and got to work. We opted to use No Limit Engineering's front IFS kit, with Hyperco springs and Fox Shocks.
The 427 LS is built by Wegner Automotive up in Wisconsin, paired up to a T56Magnum and uses a Dailey Dry sump system (blew up the first wet sump motor at Road America about 3 months after getting the truck complete) it's currently making 633WHP on pump gas.
The original frame is still intact, however we have boxed it in and built a full cage because, ya know I don't want to die.
Of course I had to splurge and go with Forgeline wheels and Wilwood brakes. We then built a custom bed floor, cover and custom wheel tubes out of Carbon Fiber.
