Love the 4 link setup. Is that 100% bolt on? Custom made or kit?

Re: Project 74, Shorty
I like the color. Is that a woodgrain or marble strip going thru the tailgate? I remember they used to have those on the specialty trim suburbans back in the day. What's the color by the way?

The top color's off a 98 ford escort, I believe its called brilliant orange, the lower color is Copper orange color, I don't know the name. The strip is a candy black, I actually used foil paper to make the pattern, I saw it in an old paint magazine I found.

Re: Project 74, Shorty
Hi All, its been a while, just wanted to give a quick update. So I decided to go with a Porter Built rear step notch and pancake the front cross member. The truck stance was to high, so I had to bring it to the ground. Let me know what you think.

Re: Project 74, Shorty
Much better choice with the Porterbuilt. It might be the angle but it looks like you would have driveshaft issues with the airbagit set up?

I'm going with a two piece drive shaft, I'm using Porter's carrier bearing cross member, so I should be fine.

Wow, truck looked great before. Now, you are just hitting it completely out of the park! Loving the paint on the tailgate. Looking forward to the fully painted pix.
