It's cool that you took it to the salt. How did it do?

Cool salt images for the record 😎👍

Thanks, The gearing took the truck from a closed ratio to wide ratio with OD I'm making it more street friendly and less on kill.

It’s been a minute since the last update—I've mostly just been enjoying the truck up here in the mountains since Bonneville, with only a few small changes along the way. Over the winter, I relocated the battery and swapped the air hat for a rounder, more vintage-looking one.

During that time, I got to know the crew over at Colorado Hot Rod Heaven. They’ll be doing some sheet metal work on the car soon. While hanging out with them, they convinced me to narrow the rear end and drop the truck even more—ended up going 5.5 inches up front and 6.5 inches out back.

While the rear was out, I converted it to Ford ends to eliminate the C-clips, and switched to coilovers in the back. I also fabbed up custom front shock mounts so I could run an OEM-length shock up front. We added a proper air filter setup too, to help tackle the dusty mountain roads and old stagecoach trails we drive around here.

With the new setup, the truck rides incredibly smooth—and it's been a blast just driving and dialing it in.
