Pig Punishers 1st gen build

Thanks. Where is Rockwall Tx? My wife is from Floresville.

 

Repainted my grill center, brushed the crome with scotch-brite to dull it and restored headlights today. Pretty happy with the results.

 

truck is looking awesome! keep it up man

 

Got my header ordered today I went with the obx stainless steel. I also ordered a pioneer head unit, I need the single din so I can put a cb under the head unit, any ideas on subwoofer placement for 1 8" subwoofer. I'd like it to be as hidden as possible.Also what do you guys think of the color of the grill center, thinking of doing my wheels the same color.

 

Dude your truck looks awesome. I want a set of those Silverado Steelie's now

 

Thanks dude. Picked those up for $100 bucks on clist.Just needed some cheap 17's

 

Toyota wheels have a 106.1 mm center bore while GM wheels have a 78.1 mm center bore. Did you use the wheel spacers so the hub doesn't contact the wheel bore? Do you get vibrations at highway speeds this way?​

 

No vibes,and yes the spcers are to clear the hubs, I figured lug centric is what it is, so it doesn't really bother me. I do plan to machine the bores out though.

 

let me know how u like those headers

 

I haven't heard much, good or bad about the obx headers.As long as they seal up good it'll beat the shit out of my stock busted up manifold. Maybe i'll finally be able to get the exhaust to run through my thrush muffler LOL

 

Got a few things going this week. Heres the new heads unit ready to install with my old CB mounted underneath.

And installed in the truck.

$85 for the head unit. already had the CB and the wiring kit for the head unit from an old yota. Also scored a UWS toolbox on Clist for $75, kinda rough will be getting painted matallic grey.
And with the lid painted.

 

how did you sand? or did you just start spraying?

 

I used scotch-brite red pads to sand, wiped it down with denatured alchohol, then used paint for aluminum wheels, so I sprayed it directly to aluminum, no primer, we'll see how it holds up

 

I did not even think about the pads. I tried hand sanding mine when I painted it black but it was too tough to get inbetween the diamonds with the paper, so now I've got some chipping on the sides. oh well. live and learn

 

Yeah it's a real PITA to sand, the pads work pretty well, and if it doesn't hold up I'll just try something else.

 

My header arrived. Looks nice, but definately not a complete kit. the only gasket that came with it is the header gasket.

First the old manifold





And now the new header





I haven't gotten everything buttoned up yet. Won't fire her up til tomorrow. OBX stainless header $275

 

^sweet!!

Nice head unit and like the color of the tool box

 

This is almost as good as sex.

Rockwall is about 45 mins east from edge of dallas.

Well, at least my house is lol I don't really know, since I'm hardly ever out that way.

 

Thanks, just hope the paint holds up.
