Got a good chunk done today on the truck while i watched the Star Wars marathon on TBS today :)

Mocked up the front end and got new core support built and holding the grille in place. Got the hood half mounted, got radiator mocked up and hald the mount finished, and built a nice simple tube bumper that is hidden underneath the stock truck bumper.

Nice work! Almost a shame to cover up the beams with the bumper.

I havent updated this in a while. I will try to do so over the next week. Truck progress is slow but its moving along. Collected alot of parts and will be on shocks and have motor and trans in it soon.

Here is a few pics of it at "bump" sitting on the air bumps.

Who makes the fiberglass front fenders that you are using? how do you like the fit? and do you have pictures of how they mount?

Hannemann is who made the fenders. They are 3" buldge with 1 3/4" bigger wheel opening.

I do not have mine mounted yet. They come as just skins so mounting is up to you.
