Some of you might knew, few years ago I start collecting parts for my Hot Rod tuck and I think its time to make the truck build thread.
After 2009 my first win and carnage with my project T-25 (my Ram 2500) I decide its better to start from zero than remodify my running Ram 2500 to something I like. The project T-25 will be towtruck for hotrod project.
Some q/a about frame are in this topic: http://www.competitiondiesel.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98036
The truck will have approx 500-600hp 12V Cummins and manual 47RE and it will be only 2wd, street race and Sunday fun toy
This is how the truck looks like now:
Its old russinan truck cab sitting on 98 1500 frame, but in near future it will sit on Gen 3 quad Hemi frame.
Here are the current specs:
Engine
98 12V Cummins, IHI block and head, cut off intake with tubular manifold, better than stock cam (still open whos), mechanical transfer pump, 180hp HP pump, 5x18 injectors, M122 supercharger, HE551VGT turbo
Tranny
98 12V 47RE- 2wd, with manual valvebody (suncoast),
converter stall and manufacturer still open
Extra overdrive unit
- GearVendor (I still looking dood deal, if you have let me knew)
Frame
2005 quad cab short bed 1500 Hemi
Front suspension
Gen3 2500 front suspension from 2wd truck. 13inch 2pc brake rotors with custom adapters and SRT-10 brake calipers
Adjustable coilovers
Rear axle
DANA70 with 4.1 ratio converted to disc brakes (from 01 Dana80 dually).
4-link and coilovers
Cab
The cab will be streched approx 6 inch and roof will be 2 inch lower, the tilt-away original windshield mechanism will be reused.
The front grill,fenders and bumper will be my design
Bed
No bed, open frame rails
Seats
Black leater racing seats, 5 pointseatbelts
Wheels tires
I think best will be 20 inch steel wheels , but for beginning I will use 20 aluminum for show and for racing 16 or 18 inch steel wheels (something like Nascar syle)
This will be very looooong project and I have high hopes (I have dream about hotrod build too long time)
