Its been a long ride but it's almost done all I have left are the wipers, exhaust clamps, seat belts and sound system.

Re: 95% complete
looks nice,,, how would you compare using the insulation stuff on the inside, or not using any? is it alot more sound proof? can ya hear any road noise?dad is using aftermarket doors on his and they sound like a tin can when ya shut the door.

Re: 95% complete
JCA1972...That is one nice looking truck. Mine is still in many pieces but the painting begins in about 2-3 weeks. Then the assembly begins.

Re: 95% complete
what kind of sound proofing is that? where did you get it? What is your wheel /tire size?

Re: 95% complete
Thanks for the kind words guys. to answer a few questions: the color is GM Torch red.
I wanted to wait until it was all complete to make up my mind on lowering it or not. I have decided to lower the back about 2" and leaving the front alone. The wheels are 17x10 back and 17x8 front. The sound proofing stuff is called Fat mat. I picked it up on E-bay. I haven't driven the truck on the street yet due to no insurance and plates. so I don't know if it will help the road noise but it is pretty thick and it should help. the doors don't rattle at all so I guess it worked.

Re: 95% complete
That is going to look sweet when it's complete. IMO I would have to lower it a little to keep it from looking like a 4wd, but whatever you decide to do, it will be one sweet truck!

Re: 95% complete
Not to derail your thread but..I used a thin foil faced insulation I bought at Home Depot, used headliner adhesive to attach it to the floor board, installed a new OE style rubber floor mat. Made all the difference in the world!
BTW ur truck looks great!

Re: 95% complete
The truck is badazz !!! Lowering it 3" in the front and 5" the back would be off the chain. Get someone to photoshop your truck with a drop like that and you can see what I mean.......Good Luck,,,,2 want do...... jmo

Re: 95% complete
in the pictures it looks like you have directional tires...i may be wrong but it looks like they're rotating the wrong way.

Re: 95% complete
Your right. Man how did you notice that on the pics. All 4 tires are on backwards. I'll have to swap them around.
