Re: Project "BOWDWN"
Very cool build!!:metal:
I think I remember you putting the bed in front of your house and some people did not like that to well.. That was you right? Keep us posted this is very cool! Trav |
Re: Project "BOWDWN"
Nice truck.
You going to run the lights on top of the cab for awhile? That would throw a few people off. |
Re: Project "BOWDWN"
Nice! Do you have any more pictures of the rear suspension?
|
Re: Project "BOWDWN"
Hey thanks blazer86, that was me I got a letter next the very next day about it from my HOA......:lol:
conundrum, I thought the same thing I was gonna run the light, I really liked them when I bought the truck but as I stared at the truck for a little while I decided they needed to come off, didn't really go with the look I'm goin for..... (puropedo)I got some more pics I'll see what I can find. |

Re: Project "BOWDWN"
where did you get the lower plates on the control arms?
|
Re: Project "BOWDWN"
The rear suspension has a pan hard bar or watts link I would guess? I like how you did the links. Simple and clean.
Keep the pics coming! |
Re: Project "BOWDWN"
Cool deal! Have you started wackin' the bed up yet?

Nice build. Subscribing to this one,...

Re: Project "BOWDWN"
Hey thanks guys for your replys and questions, sorry I haven't replied to some of you guys but I've been busy with my truck and family business.......
Higgiec10 I got those the 2 links from suicide doors and brackets also the links are 32" long from center of hole in link ends. (Sqrdy) the plates are from nate from porterbuilt, I liked the plates for the looks but they keep you from goin all the way down... Orange animal, I installed a panhard bar on my truck, I still haven't taken a picture of it but I will soon I just recently installed it aswell as the shocks front and back and painted the frame and soon to start working on the bed within a week or so. I still have plenty of pics that I need to upload and I will keep them coming as soon as I can. STAY TUNED................. |
