If you don't mind, what are the specs on the color of your truck?

Eric
It's PPG Atlantic Blue from the 04-present Dodge trucks

This may help you convince your better half next time you want to fix one up for the boys..

Thanks for all the kinds words to all. This was a nice payoff for all the hard work, time and arguments my dad and I put into the truck.

WAY TO GO MATT! WOOHOO! That's an awesome win man.
I wish we could have made it man, but I was super busy this weekend.
We have our Church's car show this weekend. I almost have my truck ready - but right now - it has no suspension (oops, let that cat out did I?)

Re: My truck made Top 25 at the Grand Rod Run!!
Thanks guys.

Hey Dalton, I was gonna try to get down there this weekend, but I don't think I'll make it. Since the cat's out of the bag now, let us know what you're doing with Orange.

1FAST68. The wheels are American Racing Hopsters. They're 15x8's all around.

Re: My truck made Top 25 at the Grand Rod Run!!
Sweet!!! Did you change tire sizes or anything like that yet, or still running the same combo? How much did you lower it?

3/4. CPP Front Coils and ECE Rear Leafs.

I did change the tires. That's a lot of what brought on the drop. I am running the same size as you - just 15".
