How big is your pic? There's a limit to the size that can be posted, might try shrinking it? Good luck.

well i drove her for a few months, enjoyed every minute of it too. finally decided to start tearing her down after i broke a motor mount nearly killing an 80 year old man crossing the street, when the motor torqued and floored the truck due to the linkage snagging..........and after i was leaving the parking lot at work to have a u-bolt holding the lower control arm break, and having it towed home on a flatbed...........waiting on my axles to come back from moser engineering, where they are being re-drilled to a five lug pattern..........frame and all suspension has been blasted and powdercoated black and silver vein, and i purchased a grand slam disc brake conversion kit, lowering it 5.5" in the front and 6" in the back as well as 4 wheel cross-drilled brakes........the rolling chassis looks awesome! just hope the rest of the truck looks as good when it is done!!

DUDE!! I want to see pics of it now! Screw the old photo, show us the new one!!!! I love seeing pics of trucks that are acutally moving forward, unlike mine that is in a kind of "pause" state.

and as to the"pause state" lol........luckily i got my new cab corners and rockers from tim christian so the cab portion will be worked on here pretty soon, but after that it will be in a pause state since my boss decided the day before christmas to let me go after seven years of dedicated service!!! so trust me i know the feeling, every time i get this project moving again, something or someone knocks me down and my baby here gets put on the back burner!!!

Nice looking work so far. Wish I had any money or time to put into mine. I move stuff around it a lot. And sometimes even get to some of it's parts around. But haven't even touched it to work in like 2 1/2 months. Suck's traveling for work so much.

Ah, you went to my website I see. That hasn't been updated in over 4 months. All that stuff was done earlier. Just looks like a lot. But I'm getting there.
