Dumped in the snow:

My daughter thinks it's funny on 2 wheels:

And the high roller:

I haven't driven my truck in nearly 4 months since I started the power disc and air ride conversion. I was so excited to drive it yesterday and it looks like I won't get to drive it again until this weekend.

At least it's out of the driveway for a change!

What year is your ride? Got airbags?

jimmydean · 01-16-2007, 08:05 PM

It's a '69. I installed Slam Specialties RE7's in he front and RE6's in the rear. I added 2.5" drop spindle discs and a power booster.

I have a ton left to do, but it's back on the road. I will order tubular upper control arms later this month. When those get here, I will trim the front cups and notch the frame. It will be about 3" lower at full dump, but you can see I need to get my new exhaust done as well.

jimmy, you got it goin on man! nice job.

jimmydean · 01-16-2007, 08:31 PM

Yes, my wife was wondering what the hell I was doing "this time". She says I'm like a little kid because I play with the switches all the time.

I need to order a pair of ViAir 380's because I can't play as much as I want with it now. I will do an A/C compressor conversion at some point, maybe this summer.

I also have a new grill and front bumper waiting to be installed. I want to paint the truck before I put anything on. I want to start on the inside too.

Man, I have a huge list. But don't we all?
