Saw this truck on cl. Anyone know anything on it?

Wondering what is involved and what it would cost to build one like it.

M1008 = $4500
12" lift with rear springs = $2K
395's = $1000
Wheels = $1000
I'll let you do the install and fab to make it work = $0

$8500 to get it like what's shown. But I'm betting you'd hate life if that was still a 6.2. Probably would want 5.13's in the axles too.

 

[asg13]

Got the truck. Thats a plus. Is there a manufactured 12" lift? Or need to be fabricated. I can install. Have access to a fab shop too.

super lift . has 12"

crossover steering kit as stock push/pull even with correction parts will SUCK at that hight .

and don't forget drive shafts . the fronts going to be a pita for the short yet steep angle with 12" lift.

also cut fenders and or still 3" body lift .

and even dana 60 / 14ff axle combo will be hurting a lot from the weight of the tires.

Not sure how dependable it would be either. I drive the truck rarely but when i need it, i need it! Just get bired with it sitting there and atart pondering ideas. I know those 46s are unreal heavy. But it would turn some heads haha

 

[Warthog]

I'm confused. Are you buying the pictured truck or are you wanting to build one like it)

 

[asg13]

Not buying. Was just curious about it. Building one like it. I have a m1008. Just came across it. It looked interesting.

I owned a civy Chevy with a super lift 12" lift with 44" Super Swampers.
I hated it.
I lowered it down with a 6" lift and 35" BFG's and drove it daily. It was like a completely different truck.
To get reasonable driveshaft angles with a 12" lift was achieved by using a 2 wheel drive Turbo 350 with a divorced transfer case.
The truck did look good, but rode like ****.
Allot of money was spent building it, and lots more spent to lower it down to a reasonable height.

The original 6.2 is going to puke all over itself running it with that motor and stock gearing!
KK

Unless you have a beefed up 454 for it, I would not run a 6.2 for this. I ran 37s with 4.10 gearing and it was a dog, flat roads r great but with a hill it would start getting hot.
