Finally after many hours of fighting oil leaks, front end issues, recaming the engine, and finally just got the hood back yesterday from being painted to match, it is pretty close to being done (Not Really) I thought I would update the picks of the truck with the hood painted and the frontend raised to a little more of being even.

I still have it, couldnt get it to match up to the raised runner heads without vacuum leaks or rear oil leaks. When it was on it ran awsum, I just ran out of patience with it and needed the truck to be running.

looks a lot better, you must have raised the front end up to level it out? much nicer leveled out.

Front end is an aftermarket setup from Scotts Hotrods, (Dont buy from them) the suspension has been completely redone with coilovers and a Thunderbird Rack & Pinion. As well as the rear suspension has been completely redone with a 4 bar setup and Coilovers.

Hey, love the truck, where did you get the hidden hitch?

I noticed you said not to buy the front end from them, was there an engineering problem or was the thing made out of inferior parts?

Major Hassles with them, took over 6 months to get all the parts, they are a body shop and they have no real experience engineering frontends so they copy someone elses design and try to use that for all vehicles. Got lied to more times than I think I can count to. They still owe me money for items I had to get elsewhere.

The hitch itself was a regular hitch that came on the truck when I got it, some slight modification of the frame rails and it slid right it, I both bolted it in place and then welded it.

That is one nice truck. A real head turner!
