Re: dbombs53 short box
I love the caps, it really pulls the look together, whats the front and rear wheel and tire size? The back looks much meatier. I like the front look with the thinner sidewall. I am torn on ordering 18's or 20's I want a 18" or 20" white wall and the smoothie look in a plus size.

Thanks, rear tires are 275-45-20s and front are 255-40-20s. Rims are not staggered. They're all 20x8.5 all around

Re: dbombs53 short box
As soon as I seen the bed of your truck with the wood and the gas neck, I said to my self that's the truck I just seen at good guys.

11 pages takes some time to get through, but worth it Nice Build!

Re: dbombs53 short box
couple of pics of some engine hood props I put in. They are Locar brand, I had them sitting around from another project I didn't use on. They seem to work perfect with the wieght of the hood. They're mocked up right now. I'll be off for a couple weeks during Christmas, I'll be pulling the front clip off to roll the lips in the fenders and paint.

Excuse the mess under the hood, I've been driving it every day. These aren't gas struts, they twist and have 5 adjustments for height.
