thank you! the entire front has been rebuilt w/ 1 coil cut off the old springs (belltechs rode too rough) and the rear is stock sagging leafs w/ 2 removed. the rims are 15x8.5 w/ 295/50's all around. still too much of a gap for me. spindles and flip kit are coming soon as the frame gets tore down and painted...

I am feeling the pinch guys. Just had a power steering pump go bad and on the first drive after fixing it, my tranny started slipping. Picked up one with just a few miles for $150 from a dirt track racer and thought I was in business but now that I am under it the mount is bad and once the old tranny was removed we noticed the flywheel was cracked. I never noticed it but the tranny kick down cable was broke too. I examined the exhaust as well and noticed a hole in one muffler. now my rims and suspension install must wait.

^^ very very nice truck, what kind of tonneau cover is that?

[jared78]

It's an aluminum frame that I built that sits inside the rails and over hangs the bedrails about an inch, and I had the upholstery shop cover it with black vinyl. thanks for the nice words!

[sams442]

I dig that flame job on top of the white! Nice Truck!

[jared78]

Hey sams 442. Truck looks good. polished americans on white trucks, thats always been a good combo. You gonna leave the suspension alone or drop it some?

[flamingbig10]

thanks sam

[sams442]

I think a 2 inch drop front and back are in order. I like a little rake where the rear is a little higher than the front. How about you guys?
