Since we could not return to Diesel Power Challenge after two consecutive wins, we accepted the entry into the Ultimate Callout Challenge in the beginning of November with the intent of competing with the quad cab since the original UCC competition was going to be Dyno, 1/4mile Drag Race, 1/8th Mile Trailer Drags and Sled pulling. After the Trailer drag race was dropped from the challenge, we decided we needed a lightweight platform for the event to increase our chances of placing top 5 in each event. This is thread is backdated to November when we purchased a virgin 06 Reg Cab out of Oklahoma with the intent of dropping the power plant out of the quad cab in it, making minor suspension changes and saving 1500lbs. After getting it on the scales as a completely stock truck, it still weighed 6900lbs, then one thing led to another and the first week of December we cut the back half of the frame off and started a complete back half chassis build. Here is a Picture heavy version of the build.
Before we gutted the truck...
Tear Down Night, took a few hours to strip it to bare bones.
The back half of the frame weighs 280lbs for anyone wondering.
I'll keep adding pics as they upload to photobucket.
