Just finished reading the thread from start to finish. This truck is beautiful. All the little touches you've put in have made this thing amazing.

Thank you guys , only a few items left to complete on it before road testing begins . I'm actually holding out on those until I get my new lift installed in the shop . Been needing ( at least that's what I told the wife) :)one for years and finally bit the bullet on one .

Love this pic! Tucked and it looks like you have room to turn.
Do you know how much narrower your track width is than stock?

Yeah , I've been going back and forth about buying one for the last few years . You know , when I was younger I could slide a piece of cardboard under a vehicle and spend the day working underneath it . Now I'm hurting after 30 minutes ! :)

All I have to say is WOW that BBC sounds awesome :metal::metal::metal: what are the specs on the cam if you don't mind me asking. Also it looks like your running an 8" dual diaphragm booster, how is the vacuum for your power brakes? I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with mine.
