I will keep posting to get yall up to date to where the truck sits currently! We started this build the week after getting the Tamale Trolly built. This truck will be completed in January. We start MZSpec#3 next week. (No cage or any of the extras in #3) so it should be a 3 week build roughly!

dont worry about flooding with pics. I will most def look at every one.

Your timelines blow me away more than anything...

Couple Questions-

1. how are you running the TT rack with a standard mz a arm kit? Are you building some sort of rack extension for the tie rods to pivot off of?
2. how are you planning to paddle shift the TH400?

Fortunately, ive learned from every company in the industry. Never take on work when you cant work on it. We have a few cars at a time and only take on the work load we can handle. There are 8 working hours in a day, try to be as efficient in those 8 hours as possible and keep checking things off the big ass list.

I heavily modified the front cross member and made a bulkhead to bolt the rack in.

I cad drew a steering rack adapter and 3d printed it(will be posting pictures)

A company SHIFT makes a paddle shifter kit, i ordered one, dissected it and rebuilt it to my liking as well made my own paddle shifters that bolt to a 6 bolt momo wheel. My shifters also multifunction as a horn button on the right side and a PTT on the left side. Will also post pictures as i finish manufacturing that.

Great name. Great start.

 

[Gtscustoms]

Back sheet metal panels
Sleek(no visible hardware interior headliner panels)
Big boy shocks showed up. (2.5/4.0 rear)
Howe Rack Adapter plate (3d printed)
DBM trans cooler
Bedside time

 

[Gtscustoms]

Modified the gay fiberwerx bedsides because they designed them to sit 3 inches below the back window atrocious as could be.
Also decided this truck should not have visible hardware on the bedsides, so i glassed in the bedside to match the back wall of the cab and mount directly to back wall of cab.
Built out the trunk for spare tires as well as a rear fuel cell hold down
Made the trans mount for the TH400
Made some beefy bump pads with removable top plates
