Here we go with Day 3 of the weekend thrash. In the first two days they did a ton of welding to finish up so much of this thing and then started taking it apart, prepping it for paint, and finally shooting some black on just about everything. Now it’s time to get it started going back together!
It’s time for even more welding, but this time it’s on the bed and chassis of this beast. This bad boy is being treated to an awesome weekend thrash with friends, all of whom are jumping in to start finishing stuff that is just temporarily assembled. It’s going to be a big weekend and it’s going to be awesome, but there is a ton of welding to do. No problem for Karl though! It’s got a special payload planned for the first trip already, but there is a ton of work that has to happen before it can happen. Check out the latest progress!
The custom air ride and steering are already done, and Karl designed and installed dual shocks on each front corner to make this thing ride just right. It also got some sway bar love front and rear because otherwise this thing might lean over onto its side around a freeway on ramp. The front got custom mounts for the stock GM swaybar that came with the Topkick Chassis. In the rear it got something super simple, but totally custom. Now it’s time for dual rear shocks. Check out how Karl tackles this one, and what he has to think about before he can just start cutting and welding.
This project has been a fun one to watch, it started when Brent from Halfass Kustoms and Karl from Make It Kustom got together to make Karl’s ramp truck project into an LS swapped and air ride equipped cab and chassis in just a few days. Their goal for this project was to make it run and do a burnout before Brent had to go back home to Manitoba. It’s a lot to do in just 4 days, but they made it happen! But a lot has happened since then!
That’s right, just 4 days to get the cab mounted and the tilt function working, fabricating and installing an entirely new steering system, mounting and installing the engine and transmission, cooling system, engine wiring, cab wiring, cutting the rear chassis and installing a step notch and full fabricated 4-link suspension system, and so much more. No, it won’t be a finished ride at the end of the series, but it should be able to be moved in and out of the shop under its own power so that Karl will be able to make the big ramp happen.
