In the far distance, I can hear faint sound of a sawzall.......

mcbassin · 08-20-2009, 07:50 AM

Looks pretty darn good the way it is right now. Also looks pretty expensive. You pick this thing up just the way it sits?

72BlckButy · 08-20-2009, 08:06 AM

Uh-oh..... this my friends will get interesting.

Nate, what's the current suspension setup?

Rear: Custom Porterbuilt "DROPMEMBER" (Weld IN)

Sheetmetal bed work by Nate. with wood bed.

ACCUAIR Dual Compressor set up with Key FOB remote

BIG Brakes: (leaning toward smooth rotors to maintain OEM style look)

Wheels: Still Debating It will be a 20 front 22 rear (Like to hear imput)

Paint: Will Stay with all moldings and Trim

Motor/Trans: Factory numbers matching 350 with numbers matching tranny.

One day the tootsie will roll......and it will be sporting all the trim just like your truck

Nates "New Hoodhinges" There will be a small line for these when they are done..

I will PM you later with my wheel and tire choices for you...

Me and Nate had this conversation earlier today....spending your money is so much easier than mine!

I would stay with 17 or 18, you will not like the ride with the band aid tires.
