Thanks guys
It looks like they just flipped the leaf spring upside down in the rear and repaced the front cross bar with the after market one with a 2" drop. I still haven't had time to go through the truck. It's at The Interior Shop on Cave Creek road getting seat done in black leather and black Mercedes carpeting. I can't wait to get it back next week.

Uh....huuuh. Do you mean they put the rear leaf spring pack UNDER the axless? And in the front, when you say "cross bar" you mean a 2" dropped axle, right?

Any chance I could ask you to post some suspension photos?

Youngrodder & noslacktx - great looking trucks guys.

noslacktx - you used real AN fitting for everything cept the w/p-radiator ... why - it would have completed the race look under the hood.

I love the braided line look. It screams RACE ME PLEASE!

Both trucks are over the top.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 
Thx Ratty

Just never was a fan of the huge fake AN fitting covering the radiator clamps. Have seen some pretty cool copper/brass pipe that guys are using now. That's pretty cool

I use a #10 on the w/p & aluminum radiators ... completes the "look". Of course ... I weld aluminum so ... makes it a bit easier ... for me.

You hit a home run on that truck.
