Finished building and installing the front bumper. Winch goes in tomorrow

Well, if it's any consolation, I tried to find a crew cab V3500 or K30 but couldn't in that time frame. And Next is either a Cummins powered square suburban or a buddy's 76 crew power wagon if he sells it...

Well as long as the bridge doesn't wash out and the creek doesn't rise, I'm going to finish it. But I'd be just as happy if we didn't have any zombies...bad enough we have everything else... Besides, I could actually use it for an expo type trip! Got the grill guard on:

Update: Laboring away on the front bumper build. Housing a 12K winch and a couple D-ring points it has a bit of a "V" shape to hidden in the design. That's the "Lift and separate" part of what it is designed to ultimately do... Next up is the 1.75" DOM tubing I am using to fashion the brush...

The hood is on, lights installed, inside electrical overhead panel in and working...more

Thanks! That build is now well into part 6 and about to get into front/rear bumper builds, side rock rail/armor system, some belly pans, more fuel, and of course firing up that Cummins Great site here as well, I've enjoyed it for years

With all the noise that thing is likely to make, It needs all the dynamat the springs can support! Actually, there are other reasons I am sound proofing this vehicle. Tactical reasons. This is not an expo truck unless ramming roadblocks enroute to a hide site constitutes an expedition!

That's not why I'm doing it! I show my hand because I believe it is gettin' a little prettier with age! :)

Fenders and snorkel fitted Body going together Wiring coming in

More panels going on: Started a new "Part 6" to this ever evolving project Found here: http://real-man-truckworks-and-survival.com/index.php?topic=900.0

The work continues Much in terms of hours has been done. I am closing in on the wiring. Getting ever closer to starting the new engine, but still lacking a couple of crucial details. Back into body work and painting of the last pieces. The hood and fenders required modification for vent panels...

Getting a lot done this past week. Dual batteries are in along with the Battery Isolation switch. Today I resurrected "Fraken-Snorkel" and fitted it to the new right fender

Danka!

Good for you! Yea, I would have done things the way I currently am if in the beginning I knew that the "Oil Change" project was going to turn into what it has. Thing is though, this truck has become almost everything an expedition/survival vehicle needs to be. It will be useful to me for the...

Got the fuel system all plumbed in and now the hydraulic brakes and power steering

Cool

Link is in my sig Happy reading, you're about 75% there!

Are you reading it on Duramax Forums or on my site, Real Man TruckWorks and Survival.com? Because if you read it on D-max forums, that is old information and you now have hundreds of more pages to get through to bring you up to date! I am getting close to starting it up for the very first...

Cool! Glad you like the project. Depending on where you are in the read, you are gonna be pleasantly surprised when you get caught up, me thinks. Join in the fray over there, you're always welcome!

I'm using an advanced web site builder called "Simple Machines" that, well, simplifies most operations. That means that there is less storage for me to pay for and faster load times for you. Yea that truck turned from being a back up truck to the 2011 Silverado to being the primary bad times...
