More pics, More Pics, oh my GOD, i have to calm down, that fricking thing is beautiful, gorgous, I mean perfect! Make note to self, go out & scratch up the truck in the morning, so i can paint it gloss black & then get those wheels off of there & order them TTII's.

Really nice truck, you should be proud.:c2:

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

Outstanding Effort. Simply Buuuuteeefull.

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

I don't know how I've missed this BEATUIFUL truck for the past 2 days! What are the specs are the front wheels? Wheel and tire size, with backspacing?

Re: truck i baught off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

I second that.

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

Super Sharp

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

Sweet! Keep that camera clickin' man, the more pics the merrier this bunch will be!

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

Beautiful truck! Now here's a guy that pays attention to detail. Did you install a hidden gas filler? Did you paint/POR/powdercoat the frame? Wheel/Tire size with backspacing is possible.

You should be very proud of your accomplishment, because you have one beautiful truck!

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

I couldn't get your truck out of my mind, I had to go buy one like it.

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

That truck is looking really nice. Thats how I want my truck to look like in the future. Whats the weather like in kelowna right now, it's freezing over here in edmonton, almost to cold to work on the truck. Maybe i'll see your truck when i'm down in kelowna this summer.

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

Am I reading this correctly, did you say you chopped the rear axle, or is it still stock?

Thanks for sharing - that is one hell of a truck!

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

yes. it has a narrowed ford 9 inch in the rear 373 gears with a locker unit and duchman axles.those wheels will NOT fit the stock rearend.atleast not with that backspacing i should say. hope that helps ya..rob
