That's one of our older designs, but you should be stoked cause the older ones have a little bit more adjustment. When you're ready to switch to C/O just call me up. It'll be no problem.

Nice work on your truck, and a score on that big window, I actually grew up in Marysville, down there several times a year, I could sure use those doors in the background of that picture, was that in Marysville/Yuba City area?

thanks

thanks! that wont be the ride stance though :(

Re: My 1959 apache project
 
that's ok, it's still a cool picture for your build file.. I did the same thing when I layed the body out on the floor of the shop and stuffed some rims and tires under it. it looked 100% slammed and I loved the look. But in reality, we can't all have THAT low of a truck if we want to drive it on normal streets.

What brand and size of tires did you use?

Your making great progress, wish the weather and work would cooperate around here, I am still working on that bed side and wanted to ask what that black primer you used is? I see its epoxy but is there a brand you prefer?
