After not working on my truck for about 6 months cause' I opened a new grocery store I am now starting to see some progress!!!!

I still have to paint the cowl hood and tail gate. The front will sit 3 inches lower when I install the new 468BBC/th400.

Here's what it looked like before.

Progress in looking good. Great job... It should look nicer once you drop in the big block.

(Do you think you'll need to drop the back anymore once you get everything installed?)
BTW, good luck on your grocery store endeavor.

Thanks, the color is 06 dodge Bright Silver
I woulld like to lower the rear some more, so the rim is even with the lip of the fender but I cant because the rear tires are really tall. If I lower the rear any more the tires will hit the top of the fender when the suspension travels. I could get shorter tires and lower it but when I get shorter tires I'll just bag it.

BTW boxrodz: thanks but its not my store I'm just a store manager for a local grocery store chain but I feel like I own it sometimes.

I miss the look of the Orange Truck also but I'm really happy with the way it turned out this time.
Thanks
