BIG DAY TODAY!!!!!!! pictures..
 
Today was the first day in over a year and a half that I took the truck out of the garage. I never got to drive the truck even before I bought it and today I got to drive it down the road.. It was so cool to finally see all the hard work and time spent pay off. The neighbors all came out and even took videos with their phones.

Truck ran great but I still have lots of work to get done on it. I also burnt an airline on the headers but it was cool to be able to air it up and down for the first time.

Just wanted to share my excitement with ya.. :four:

Yes they are but I tucked them in to far so I added the flashlights to go with it.

I did feel like a kid. I had to do a burnout in front of my house too, you know, to break it in.. LOL

That is a bad ass truck! Burnouts are mandatory on the first ride. Gotta break in in right!

Thanks!!!
Mine pretty much sat on the jackstands shortly after the day I got it. I never even tried out the air ride till yesterday and prayed it worked.. My next days off are Wednesday and Thursday so you know where I will be. Slamfest is the end of this month and hope to make that my first ever show. Then its the Pumpkin Run and the one I have been trying for, the Daytona Turkey Rod Run...

Dodge Ram 20" spare steel wheels. Kinda hard to locate four of them but I really like the look and I wanted steel wheels for this truck, not aluminum.

You can just hear Tim Allen grunting in the background. Argghhh.....oohgghhh.....arrghghhh.

Awesome to get it on the road. My first truck I was too excited so I drove with no doors, no fenders, no hood, and a 1 gallon can on the floor board as a gas tank!!! You have much more patience than I do.

The lug pattern is 5x5 1/2 so you either need to have your rotors and axles drilled or buy billet wheel adapters. I got mine from billetwheeladapters.com for a really good price. Just make sure to check the backspace and they are wide rims...

Cool truck MOTO, I remember the first drive in my 66. All those hours of sweat, blood, and tears finally coming together is a cool feeling.

khan1369 04-12-2013 06:26 PM

Re: BIG DAY TODAY!!!!!!! pictures..
 
Sweet truck.

Just a question, how thick were your adapters? I am trying to figure out how the backspacing works out with those bad boys on a 70...
