Even though the cab is tight and rust free.The corner supports had a thud sound to them.They where packed solid with dirt.It bugged for sometime .Both side's now have extra drain's.

Having time to rack the truck up in the air has been a relief the whole build had been on the ground.

The truck got aligned and preliminary tuned for the break in period. Than will retune the engine after around 500 miles, Got about 65 miles on the clock this week and The Snortin bull had it's first event today.An NSRA inspection day.

Got 250 miles on it this past weeks. Doing so tuning and running a wide band to watch tune.,The Snortin' Bull has ball's flat out hual's. Moved the front license plate up, it looked like a tongue hanging out and cuaght the ground often.Parked next to my S-Duty it makes ford's look ugly.

Been on the road driving for the most part of two week's. Truck is parked out back in the alley behind our shop. Guy's keep seeing it and asking if it's for sale.It make's me fell good to know these rig's we are building are publically liked.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Looks great!
Someone asking if your trucks for sale is an ego stroke for sure! |

The right door relay to latch was a problem.It kept jambing.In the past if you look hard a sheet metal screw was used to hold the pivot together.This flexed and trapped everbody as it would not release latch. Had to get a new one. At the same putting a lock cylinder in rh o/s handle.

Re: The Snortin' bull
That spare tailgate, was it an idea similar to this perhaps?
I saw this and thought it was kind of cool. Would one way to utilize a bad tailgate. http://i.imgur.com/ufxEw9d.jpg |

Both financially and more importantly..... Emotionally, to know what you have and are doing is noticed. I think these trucks are definitely getting more attention now. The tailgate idea is great for your style truck. I want to find the letters off a Stepside tailgate for the same reason. |

The truck with almost 500 miles on it now has been for the most part tight and rides and drives nice, The tailgate though over bumps rattle and clanked, I had some leftover sections of inner door weather strip left over that fit the edge of the gate and snugs up to bed, Tacked them on problem solved.I also found putting the chains and hooks inverted helps relieving chain smacking around.
