Now why would he show you of all people a shot of his supermodel wife? You are already hating on his cars, if he showed you his wife you head may explode. We can't have that you have to finish your truck.lol

I'll see if i can dig up some old pics of the back half. I'll tell you though if i had to do it all over again I'd follow Kabwe's lead on the frame mods. I have a very similar C notch as he shows on his build thread. My truck already had a bad sub frame hack job when I bought it so i just cut it off and corrected the issues before welding it back on. The front wasnt low enough for me so I cut the bottom of the spring pockets out and extended them lower. When it is laid out it, the lower A frame touches the frame minus a very thin bump stop. I used slam specialities RE8 bags up front. I bought the shorter (I believe 54 inch end to end) s10 disc brake rearend including the leaf springs. I fabricated some brackets to mount the leafs to the frame. RE6 bags out back. Again a lot of man hours in that and the 4 link would have been much nicer and hours considered, cheaper.
