Finally finished (well almost)
Four years and a few dollars later I finally got to drive the Mad Cow this week. I have shown before and after photos. Dropped in a crate 350, new front disk brakes, Edelbrock and HEI, removed the gas tank, seat is out of a F-150 (split bench), dry cell battery, Rhino lined, etc. Need advice on where to put the spare.

Re: Finally finished (well almost)
Put the spare in the garage. If you go on a long trip throw it in the bed, or buy a AAA membership.

Re: Finally finished (well almost)
I was going to mount the tire in the bed but now that you mention it I do have roadside assistance and I won't be driving too far! Who needs a spare anyway!

Re: Finally finished (well almost)
Here's a few more photos. I'm having A/C and Brake issues but everything else is pretty much dialed in.

Re: Finally finished (well almost)
Great looking truck! This body style in a short fleetside 4x4 is my all time favorite! I have never seen that color combo on one of these trucks before. It looks great! Do you have any more pictures of the build? ...Joe
