[Jerry Zaiden]

http://www.camburg.com/images/2006%20f-150/newF1.jpg

Here are a few pictures a what has been started a week ago. The plan for the build is to use state of the art parts to build a stock truck into a TT Prerunner. We will be using Geiser Brothers fiberglass body parts, Bilstein 9100 and 9300 series race shocks, Eibach Springs, Hella Lights, Nitto Dune Grappler tires, American Racing ATX wheels, Avcomm intercom system, AEM Brute forace air intake filter system, Dirttech rearend housing, Yukon gears, Beard seats, and many other new parts. Watch as the build progresses!

truck looks awesome...are you guys building this truck for someone specific or is it just a serious shop project?

[Jerry Zaiden]

Here are a few more updates on the truck..

We started the cage, cut the front of the frame off, widened up the upper A-arm mounts to fit a 9300 series Bilstein Coilover and 9300 series Bilstein Black Hawk.

That cage would look so much better if it was tucked in a little tighter and wrapped in the finest Corintian leather. Kinda like this.......

[Kritter]

where would the dimple die plates to tie it into the cab go?

I still like it...other then those main hoops.

[partybarge_pilot]

Oh there plated, it's just so tight the plate was to small to put dimples in. They were done all in one shot too, no splices.......

[Jerry Zaiden]

That cage would look so much better if it was tucked in a little tighter and wrapped in the finest Corintian leather. Kinda like this.......

If you look at what we are working around in the newer 2004 F-150 you would see why the tube is an inch or so away from the pillars. At the top it is touching and at the bottom it is ver close to keep the AC vents. Before you criticize wait until it is done...When it is done and you dont like it then go build one nicer! :)

Now a question for you...
Why would that builder put the tube on top the dash when it can go under it?

[Jkrell]

where would the dimple die plates to tie it into the cab go?

I still like it...other then those main hoops.

Whats wrong with main hoops? You like the halo design better? That more structurally sound from the engineers perspective?

I prefer Jason's cage design over the red truck, Stock cabs bulge at the base of the a pillar, you have to sacrifice at the bottom a little to have it in the right spot at the top. Also, it looks way better through the dash.

[partybarge_pilot]

The front is not a hoop, there the same as the Burglars with a couple extra bends to make them fit a little better. Tube in front of the dash just about disapears with the windshield in. All vents are intact plus you don't have to butcher the dash.

You know, if you go buy a smart level you can figure out the extra bends and not have to sleave stuff.......

You know, if you go buy a smart level you can figure out the extra bends and not have to sleave stuff.......

The reason for sleeves in a cage is you can get a tighter fit without cutting out more of the sheet metal. We have built cages with multiple bends (up to 11) in one tube. This takes a ton of time and is not always the best way to go. When you do this the tube needs to fit into the truck. If it does not fit then you would need to cut out a ton of the sheet metal. We also like the fact with a sleeve you can get a tube to fit the way it needs to be fit with out fighting it for hours. We also feel that after crashing trucks and seeing how the tubes bend we would like the added strength on the extra tube inside the zones where the tubes have bent in the past. The last reason why we would run a sleeve is because it lets us fit the tube better where there is a diagnal. in this picture you can see how we sleeved the tube near the back of the cab. This way we were able to weld the tube all the way around inside the truck then add the tube and weld it all the way as it comes through the back of the cab. Then in the zone where the tube meets ontop the axle the fit is a very clean and tight.

http://www.camburg.com/images/2006%20f-150/8-14/_MG_0952.jpg

[partybarge_pilot]

HMmmmmmm, so you were testing the cages every time you crashed?

Wait, so your sleaved one isn't as tight as the non sleaved one in the pic, doesn't that kinda contradict the above statements?

If your plating the cage to the cab, who cares how much sheetmetal you cut out?


"in this picture you can see how we sleeved the tube near the back of the cab. This way we were able to weld the tube all the way around inside the truck then add the tube and weld it all the way as it comes through the back of the cab."

Just cut a bigger section from the cab and do it all in one shot. You going to have to fill the hole anyways, a little larger hole doesn't take that much longer to weld. Plus you don't have a sleave in the tube........ Or the one above it.......

Could you show us some pictures of the one you built so that we will know what you are talking about?

[matt_helton]

yeah barge, show us the cage you put in the torino. lol

[JESSE_at_TLT]

Damn, what did the Burg do to deserve your wrath partybarge?

[Jerry Zaiden]

A few more updates!

Working on the front shock mounts, roll cage roof bars, and a few more tubes out back.

[Kritter]

Whats wrong with main hoops?

not tight enough to the pillar...still a nice build regardless.

[gwm]

not tight enough to the pillar...still a nice build regardless.

Isn't that a matter of preference?

Jerry, I really appreciate the step by step walk-through you are giving us. There are a lot of people out there who wouldn't do it.

[bw1482]

yeah barge, show us the cage you put in the torino. lol

yeah,Let's see it.

[Jerry Zaiden]

not tight enough to the pillar...still a nice build regardless.


Once again CRITIC strikes again...lol...


The tube can't go any closer due to the fact there are computers, wires, AC vents, etc in the way. On top of that there is sheet metal we can't remove due to the parts I just mentioned. If you look you will see how tight the tube is to the pillar. The pillar itself bows out away from the tube top and bottom in this year / type of truck.
http://www.camburg.com/images/11.jpg

Now in these trucks built by Geisers and Newline two top builder in this industry they also opted for this amount or more space even without utilizing the stock dash...
You can do it better than the top builders in the industry? Like I said before go build one better before you criticize something very nice!

Geiser Built TT Prerunner for Baldwins. They don't have the stock dash or stock computers/wirering to deal with.
http://www.camburg.com/images/1111.jpg

In this next picture you will see the Newline built truck for Scott@PCI. You will see there is as much or more of a gap. This in my opinion is a very good idea as it is also used as a grab bar. I had the oportunity at the Baja 500 this year to see how well this grab bar works in Scott's camp.

http://www.camburg.com/images/111.jpg

[booger]

yeah looks cool,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,are you going to supercharge the motor or pull out the old and in with the new ,,, what about the tranny?????

[Jerry Zaiden]

yeah looks cool,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,are you going to supercharge the motor or pull out the old and in with the new ,,, what about the tranny?????

Maybe a Supercharger? We will see... As for the tranny maybe a T400.... I am drawing up and adapter plate in my spare time.

A few more pictures for you guys!

the paint isnt shiny enough...but still a nice truck
lol, jk jerry

it looks asweome, my dad has the same truck but stock. i should try and get him to have you guys build it:D

[partybarge_pilot]

Your such an expert... Go build a better one!


What, Me work? That would cut way to much into My being an internet know it all.
Come on Jerry, you've only got a week to toughen up before the annual Tree Bar BS fest!

yeah barge, show us the cage you put in the torino. lol

Thats B!tchen Torino to you!

yeah,Let's see it.

Watch it Whitey or I'll show your girl the pics from the last Paris trip......

[Kritter]

Once again CRITIC strikes again...lol...


Dont get salty jerry its only an opinion...I still think Jason builds a mean truck and I would have copied newline or geiser as well...both build awesome trucks.

[kvadnais]

uh, what's up with the pecker matching over fab methods here? i follow this thread to watch camburg's f150 get built step-by-step. (ya know, hence the name "Watch the progress of a Camburg 2006 F-150 build!") =]

now im not completely sure of camburg's intent on this f150 project, but i doubt they'd cage it, 4-link it, and slap a front-clip on it if it was only slated for "demo/show truck" duty utilizing the stock interior, etc. so i assume its going to get thrashed in the same manner their ranger has. i've seen that red f150 in the attached pic over at jd fabrication, and it's going to be a really nice truck. based on the camburg pix, their's is going to be way sick as well. both have very high-quality cage installs, but in reality it doesnt even matter. these trucks are two different animals. burg's f150 is being built to take a serious beating/punishment... or "race-only" conditions if you will. and while that jd red f150 is being built "torture-capable", its build profile is slated more towards daily driver/street friendly. last i heard the red f150 is under-axle wrapped deavers and burg's is 4-link'd. red f150 running stock drivetrain components, and apparently jerry's planning on putting a T400+dirttek rear-end in theirs. red f150 has rear seating, and most of the upholstery is going back in it. im guessing jerry isnt going to outfit a race truck with oem carpet. (im only guessing though :)) look, you could go on and on about this, but unless that red f150 is going to get trailed to a race and see the same torture the burg's f150 will, all this is a moot point... (in my insignificant opinion anyway).

[partybarge_pilot]

It's getting a 9" in the rear. And it will get tortured. The last one they built for this customer has seen nothing but Baja miles.

BTW, Supercharger+pemex+heavy right foot= melted pistons! Good thing the last one was still under waranty......

[SoDrty]

Geez, they'll call anything a trophy truck nowadays..
J/K ..looks to be a super nice prerunner...like the symetrically triangulated rear cage..
you definately want to bail your 4r75w.. it's weak on a good day..
I went through mine in just under 18K miles, daily driven!!
And you have a buyer if you make more than one of those adapter plates!!

[nateb]

Just let these guys do their job. It's their truck not yours. Looks really good and I wish I will be able to fab like that some day. Keep it up

[McClintock]

Just wondering, front looked dialed and complete.

[tre5]

what kind of arms are they? they look all futuristic... blurry and all. Is that so they dont spontaniously combust? Truck looks good I am envious.

[fatnbald]

unobtainium

[JOSH]

how much wider is that front clip than stock?

[RooTs]

Jerry,
Are those "dune grabber" tires going to be available to the public in the near future?

[Jerry Zaiden]

The front clip will handle a 94" wide trackwidth.

The Tires.... I don't know...

Wow you guys are really cruisin. Very clean work as always Camburg crew.

[CMazzulla]

Is this front suspension going to be a kit? Or just one off...?

[WeldnFab]

I believe this front suspension is going to be Production kit. I think thats the intended idea.... of this build. Other than building a kewl truck in the process.

Sweet wheels, what kind are they....

[BajaFand]

They look like APP Starburst wheels, but APP never made them with a beadlock. Also, APP hasn't made any of their own brand of wheel in years, they only make aluminum wheel forgings for other wheel companies now which is what they did before they actually had their own brand of wheels.

[McClintock]

Not APP but an ATX rim, not sure if they're out yet.

[MH20]

American Racing Trax, not sure if the beadlock was added by AR or someone else though.

[Mark Newhan]

Looks very nice Jerry and Jason.

[Jerry Zaiden]

Thank you Mark!



Here are a few more updates.

We have been adding more to this truck than we thought we were going to do. The new upgrades are a custom C&R Racing Products Radiator with dual SPAL Fans. We also added a VANCO remote mounted Hydra boost brake system. The next big wrench in the build of this truck is a HOWE Rack steering system. You will see the progress of this as time goes. We are utilizing a Howe power rack but without the ram on it. Then we are using a large Howe Ram and connecting it to the steering slide. Pictures of this will come soon.

Nice!!!!!

[yellowranger1]

I saw this thing at the expo...that glass makes it look mean. Makes me want an F150...

[fastgmc98]

Wow
Wow,

Very nice build

[Me and My Toys]

OK, Please don't be too hard on me. All I've worked on as far as cages go are the Buggies I worked on at Sand Limo in AZ. My question is, How do you get in to weld around the joints where all the tubes meet in the center of the roof.

[hitman]

drop the cage downthrough the floor or cut a hole in the roof. or cut the whole roof off.



or just weld it "close enough" to 360*

[Andhi_partsm]

Hi Jerry,

Very nice built up.... :cool: :cool:
especially for me, since I can not get those "FANCY" welding and accessories that goes into your truck....


How much travel would it be in the rear ?
How much travel would it be in the front ?
Seems to me that you are still retaining part of the front chassis. How much wider than stock does your new arms ?
How much drop and compression are you expecting ?
What kind of steering would you utilize ?
Do you move the engine back, or is it still in the same locations ?
If so, do you increase the lenght of the front sections ?
If so, do you increase the total wheel base, compare to standard ?

[welderbob]

super nice looking welds on the upper four-link mounts

[Jerry Zaiden]

How much travel would it be in the rear ? 26-32"
How much travel would it be in the front ? 18-21"
Seems to me that you are still retaining part of the front chassis. How much wider than stock does your new arms ? The arms are built to clear the fron glass. I think they are 5" over.
How much drop and compression are you expecting ? 16" Compression rear and 12" front is the min.
What kind of steering would you utilize ? We are going to use a HOWE TT rack with a 2" ram with the How TT pump.
Do you move the engine back, or is it still in the same locations ? Stock and will have a Supercharger with the new AEM Fuel mangmnt.
If so, do you increase the lenght of the front sections ?
If so, do you increase the total wheel base, compare to standard? The wheel base is moved forward in the front by 2" and in the rear by around 4".

Here is a picture at SEMA of this truck. This truck is about 1/2 way done. It should be done soon...

Thanks for the quick response...,

I am building a ranger myself in Jakarta, INDONESIA. However, there aren't any shops here that does what you do in the states.

Please PM me how to contact you, I might want to discuss about A-ARM for my own.

By the way, I have to ADMIT how Simple, Elegant and SEXY of the newly built pick-up...

[negro3030]

wow, that truck is beautiful, love the paint, it looks mean as hell, I will definitaly consider Camburg when I build my F-1, love the craftsmanship...

[AzBajaman]

That's a sweet looking truck.....please post more pictures......when will the truck be completed? that one nice looking FORD....way to go guys......

[Jerry Zaiden]

We just started back up on the truck... Next is a whole new steering system. Stay tuned for more info as we get this truck going..

Great looking truck Jerry. You guys have always done awesome work.

I was wonder what length shocks are you running in the rear? I was wanting to to do something similar with the upper shock mounts when I link my truck.

[Jerry Zaiden]

The coilovers are BILSTEIN 9300 series 17" and the By-Pass are 9300 series 18" Blackhawks. I will try to post more pictures soon.. We have been working on the cagework around the floor area and rear seat area.

[movindirt]

Thanks Jerry! Can't wait to see more pics.

I like how you guys went through the floor to hit the frame with the floor tubes, not many do that, nice touch

[SEANY]

I have a question, I am getting ready to build a fullsize chevy pre-runner and i am wondering if i should get rid of the whole frame or just cut the back. I am going to link it and all but i dont know if i can get enought travel out of the front off the stock arm mount. Any pointers would be great

[bcampbell04]

trucks looks amazing. this thread just keep getting better as the truck gets built. can't wait to see the complete finished pictures. quick question, will it be hard to get the shocks off and out with those 2 tubes in front of them? i figured you would just pull them out from the bottm, but it got me thinking. thanks

It al depends on what you want. The point of this truck for us is to have an awesome prerunner with a stock truck. Kind of like a big brother to the EDGE. The truck has the rear of the frame removed just like what we wanted to do with the EDGE but we did not have time to do the EDGE this way. You will see pictures soon enough of the full tube chassis Camburg TT in the next year or so.. We will keep you posted..

Thank you for the kind words..

As for the removal/installation of the shocks it is very easy to take them on and off.
They come off from the inside.

thanks for answering so quickly. i just thought if you guys boxed in the rear area with sheet metal panels or something, they would be weird to get out. but after looking at the pictures some more, i see how you will do it easily

[JRod]

Is this truck for racing or R&D or both? I'm only asking because I am trying to figure out if/when you guys (camburg) will be coming out with a kit for sale similar to this one...

[Jerry Zaiden]

This is a prerunner not a race truck. We are building this truck for R&D. We will have 3 kits for these new F-150 trucks very soon. The first kit is a vailable, 3" Bolt in coilovers. We will also have uniball upper arms available in a few weeks. We also have a new 5-7" Performance kit. This is a new upper arm and spindle combo that yeilds 12" of travel. This kit uses a custom fabricated spindle with 1" upper uniball, brake lines, full heim steering, upper arms, and 2.5" res coilovers. The third kit will be a full long travel kit. This long travel kit will be available with the standard wheel bearings as well as a billet hub set up with larger wheel bearings. Expect to see this long travel kit in the next few months.
I will try to post some pictures of the Performance kit soon. We will also have more pictures of the Camburg F1 Prerunner soon as well.

[tre5]

I havent measured my travel with the King bolt ons, but I think front travel is supposed to be around 10 1/2" - 11 1/2". Thats not much less than your 5-7" performance kit. What is the difference? Also, what is the advantage of the upper uniball arm? Is it just to get rid of the ball joint on the stock arm? I think that the shock was set up to stop traveling before it binds the ball joint anyway. With the upper arm, and a uniball, will you have to drill out the spindle? Thanks for the info, and the pics of your progress on the F150. It looks pretty darn cool.

[welderbob]

the truck looks asome

[TeenyCar]

Do you have any pictures of the lower and upper radiator mounts? Are you guys hard mounting them or is there some sort of rubber cushioning on the bottom? Looks like it will be fun.

[nmdzrtrat]

Hey Jerry,

We are chomping at the bit here... How about some updates, please! The Camburg Crew sure does great work. I hope to be buying some of your stuff here real soon. My '06 f150 super crew wants to go see Baja the right way ;)...

[Jerry Zaiden]

we have been very busy in the last few months.. We just need to finish up the steering then this truck will be done. I hope to get on it after the Terribles 250.

Here are a few pictures of how we mounted the C&R radiator.

[E&S Racing]

Looks good Jerry..

[bcampbell04]

still looking great jerry. almost finished

[RC RACING]

Looks pretty good. Keep up the good work guys.
When do you think is going to be completed??

[Jerry Zaiden]

I hope in 4-6 months. It just takes time and we are building 6 new kits for other trucks right now. That takes 1st priority. This truck needs to get done so I can drive it :)

It is very close other than cosmetic stuff. interior, paint etc..

[cosmo]

How big is the front coilover? 2.5? Rear top spring looks like you might get into coil bind?

[Jerry Zaiden]

The coilovers are the new Bilstein 9300 series. They have the larger 3/4" bearings and topcaps as well as the lower rodends. This will be plenty of control for the slow speed stuff. The Blackhawks will also be plenty of shock in each corner.

The springs will not coil bind when set up correctly. As pictured the coil springs are just there to hold ride height. They are not the final product.

Jerry,

Is your new 7.0 Performance Coilover System loosely based on this truck? And when is it going to be available for the 4WD? I want a good system for my '04 4x4 S-Crew!

[Jerry Zaiden]

We have a 2.5" bolt in coilover and a uniball upper arm for your truck. The problem with the 4x4 is the new spindle will not allow lift so we use the factory spindle.

[Jerry Zaiden]

Here are some new pictures of the F-150.

I'm assuming you didn't drop that off at Earl Shibe. The black paint looks great.

Price looks pretty reasonable- what do you do in the rear and what kind of wheel travel/tire size are we talking? with or without glass...

[Jerry Zaiden]

A new truck like this is around $28,000 + the $100,000-$125,000 to build it. The range in price is for finishing touches such as paint, interior, stereo, etc...

Want to buy it? Let me know :)

On a cop's salary? Can I put it on a 30 year payment plan? Otherwise, I would have to sacrifice some scruples and go straight "The Shield" style...:eek:

I'm trying to figure out how to do it up LASD style when they used to run the class 7, but I don't have the first clue how to get that ball rolling.

[Brandon@Grove Racing]

That is a very nice machine!

[bcampbell04]

looks great jerry. i really like the mounts for the lower arms, look really mean and strong. can't wait to see it at a race to check it out.

[J.COLEMAN]

Looks nice!

The F-150 looks great, I saw it at SEMA last year, it just keeps getting better. NICE WORK!:D

When are you going to start a post with he '08 TUNDRA you guys are building?

What class are you going to race it in? Inquiring minds want to know...:cool:

The new Tundra build is on Camburg.com under whats new. It will be a new Toyota Tundra 4x4 double cab 5.7L 4x4. It will run AEM filtration, American Racing Wheels, Beard Seats, BILSTEIN Shocks, Deaver Springs, Hella Lights, Nitto Tires, and?
We will be protected by Sparco Driving suits and Ironclad Performance wear. The crew and drivers will be energized by lots of Monster Energy Drink. And we will have live tracking by IRC so you can watch us live at home to see how we are doing. Blue C is helping with race marketing and the big party :)

I will start a build section in a week or so when we get started on this truck.

[chase]

build looks awesome!!

[loufish]

Thanks to all the Camburg guys for letting us watch this project come around, well done!

I've built about 11-12 cages and every single time I'd have someone telling/asking me "why didn't you put the tube here?..I would done it this way...how come that's so close/far?...etc, etc."

Most were friends(who didn't understand the design considerations the customer asked for) but I still had tell them to Shut the f@#k up!!

[92pathy]

that truck is flippin awesome! nice work guys

[JTDezert]

Jerry,

Great looking truck. The only thing I keep hearing about it is from my little brother (JROD7). He just keeps wishing he could do that to his truck.

Nice looking truck though!!!

JT

[rlury]

You guys build your trucks so clean, love the new truck its coming out sweet!

[Jerry Zaiden]

Thanks guys! We will be back on this truck very soon... We still just need to complete the steering and some wiring.

After it is completed we will get some great photos and video then this truck will be for sale! Who wants it :D

[JRod]

So Jerry- What ever happened to this truck? Please don't tell me it's collecting dust somewhere not getting used... LOL!

[Jerry Zaiden]

The truck is just about done. It is at the top of the list to get completed, all we need to do is finish the steering. We are going to be selling this truck soon. I would like to keep it but with the new Trophy trucks on the way I don't see any time or space to keep it.
We are going to advertise the truck soon for $125,000 completed. Want it? :D It is a brand new truck with 500 miles on it....

[Mike @ pit b]

Hey Jerry, What do you guys use for a pre-runner? One of the rangers?

[motoxscott]

Our version of prerunning is looking at the course map for a few minutes and then loading the file into the GPS ... haha

For the most part we don't pre-run. The occasional races we do pre-run we've used Jerry's 4 seat buggy or my brothers (high rev photo) tacoma, or hitched rides with Myers Racing in their buggy.

BITD pre-runs are pretty fun, I'm actually builing a Bronco just for that reason.

If you see my mug on the news because I hit the lotto, you can guarantee I'll be calling the next day to buy it... LOL!

Until then, I'll just keep waiting for you to call me to use my truck to R&D the 4x4 Long Travel Kit - :D

Well that truck looks like it turned out awesome. Good luck to you guys at Camburg this November. Wish I could go this year.... Have fun at the 1000.
