Hey Ryan. Truck is sure looking sharp. Hows it running ? Do you know how I move my build thread or who I ask to move it over here. I seem to be spending most of my time here checking out what everyone is up to. I took my 56 to the pull last nite . Had a ton of fun. Going to put a update now. Not too many people on the 55 to 59 side into this kind of thing tho .

PM a moderator and have them move it for you. Oh no, you went to a pull? That was a bad idea. That's a bad bug to get. :lol:

The easiest to see what mod is online is to go to the bottom of the main forum page where it lists all the members online and click on a RED name and PM them.

Sorry, I haven't gotten around to adding pics to this thread. Photobucket is being a real PITA lately! Here are some pics of it in KC and just some of it. I'll post up pics from the show as I get them resized.

That's no SHOW truck?! It should be hooked up to 1 or more of those other trucks and dragging them around like a waterskier.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 
it might be the fact youre using a little too mush bandwith on photobucket , it could be solved if you oprn up a second accound under a different name and email adress so the load gets shared between the two

I stole the wheels off this truck to put on my 95 F-350 and put my old 16.5's on this truck. Now I have to start thinking about building something to store it in for winter as it won't be residing in the shop full time.

The living room isn't big enough?

better make provisions for the smoke when building the storage like a small extractor fan right about where the exaust is or you have to enter the space wearing a boilersuit over time

If I could park a truck in my living room I'd do it and probably be in divorce court. :lol:

Smoke, first this thing would have to smoke. :lol: It hazes a little bit but isn't bad.

i know my stock mercedes diesel used to soot up the garage in the wintertime

Yeah, it's still sitting on the floor. I haven't decided how I want to mount that thing yet. :LOL: Plus then it might rust too. Don't want that!

Don't want to get it dirty. :lol: When I was going down the drive way my UPS gay came up so I got out of his way and we started BS'n so I just left it there to snap some quick pics. It might be the last time for a while it can be photographed before it comes apart for the next stage....................... :lol:

he may be alluding to some suspension mods that could require a cab removal
