Now about a year later, after having multiple random shutting off issues and chasing non existent problems. Well come to find out, thank god to the internet, a guy on Facebook hit me up about what he did. Come to find out during Covid, when Holley was producing the Terminator X’s they had some...
Eventually, truck got done and finally got to drive it. There were some hiccups like always but no biggie. Got the truck done by new years of 2021/2022.
Well day one I lost all brakes, and had two bad leaking axle seals. Well come to find out, both hub nuts backed off and destroyed the snouts...
Now after all that, had some time to finally get to the random stuff I needed to get done before my truck left my buddies shop.
Built a front bumper for the 4 KC’s, mounted the front one piece, and made my way to the back and mounted the dual spares.
Oh btw, this is a different backhalf than...
By the time that all got finished and whatnot, my motor was all finished up from Moruzzi and the TH400 from Culhane was also ready. Had a buddy do the intake while I was waiting on motor and trans to be done.
Mounted it back in the truck, had to chop the mounts and move it about an inch forward...

Had to mount the LS and TH400 in there and start making a skeleton around them out of 3/4” tubing.
Well while in there and got the panels and trans tunnel...

Got the shocks where I wanted them and started to cycle. Initial plans were 35” tires with 15” wheels. Well that got thrown out the window, went...
Months go by, still didn’t know what I wanted to do and I wasn’t throwing another 22r in.
Pulled the motor, pulled the front stock kit and lift spindles off. Acquired a 5vzfe (3.4) and a 5 speed from a buddy. Swapped it in and thought that’s what was gonna live in there for a long time.
From...
Now where this is where it gets going.
A buddy with a yota was going links, so for a small price and dam near free, we took his backhalf and grafted it to my truck. Took it out and wasn’t horrible but was definitely not ideal.
F67, 12” shackle, King 3.0 3 tube 18” bypass
22 gallon cell.
Few...
What a trip down memory lane trying to get most of the pictures together. But I’ll try and do this in sections so it’s not all crazy haha.
