Thanks a lot guys...the truck is really coming along nice.

Here we cleaned up the rest of the frame to get it ready for sand blasting, and fabricated mounts for the gas tank.

It's a TANKS inc gas tank, but we had to do a good amount of modifying to mount it.

Very nice, curious if you guys top coated or added something to get the chassis paint to a semi-gloss sheen and if so what you used? It all looks great!

Thanks...we used "No Rust" on both the frame and axles, no changes to it, just how it came out of the gun...has a great semi-gloss look to it.
