    Here are some pictures of my truck I am building. I am putting a stock longblock 6.0 liter with a cam swap in it. I am going to run a blow through 830 annular on it. It is going to have a th350 with a 3500 converter. Its going to have 39.5" boggers on it when I bring it back out.

    I have had the truck since I was 16. I am 32 now. It used to be my daily driver/run the hell out of it in the mud on the weekend truck just like any teenager with a jacked up truck would do. I have had several naturally aspirated SBC's in it over the years but decided to try something new with the 6.0 turbo deal. I am building everything myself from the motor mounts to the turbo kit. I plan on getting the turbo kit done and then stripping it all back down for paint and body work.

    Here is one back in 1999 after I re-painted it for the second time:

    Thanks for the complements. I hopefully will get the wastegate put in and get the cold piping done tomorrow. Then its back down to the frame for paint.

    That's going to be a fun ride for sure. It must be nice to have all of that room to work with.

    Could I get the numbers from your tag on the turbo? I've been trying to I.D. the one I have.
    My CHRA doesn't have the ribs behind the comp. like the other ht60's I have saw.
