Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Come on over to the shop Dan. Your always welcome.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I keep going back & forth with what I'm gonna do. Part of me would REALLY love full IFS & IRS, power rack & pinion, etc. but I know I'd be into it for several grand by the time it was all in and sorted out. Special bracketry for my old style, "no holes" Camel hump heads, PS pump, lines, rebuilt R&P rack most likely, AC brackets too "while I'm in there" new column...I know myself and I'm not going to be happy without all of it.

On the other hand, who is it, POL or CPP that has a full suspension kit with new lowering springs, shocks, sway bars etc for about $1200? I ALREADY have the CPP disc brake & manual MC kit.

Yeah, & it's killing me not to have already done something. There's this little thing called "budget" too, lol.

Started boxing my frame and the welder died. Last few wks it's been, if it can go wrong, it will. Get down, that truck is looking real good, very nice job.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

That would be cool but a little too rich for my blood. I'm going to look for that though. Thank you for the compliment...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Thank you, I really love it! The process is hydro-dipping this is burl wood on black! After it's dipped it's washed then clear coated. check out the process below.

Picked up the new courtesy light sockets I ordered and wired them up. Need to get all the junk away from the garage stove... 30 degrees is not fun to work in.
