"Made Bail"
I had started a thread on my build previous but removed it for some reason. Cant remember. So, again, my truck. It ended up in this state after a long chase with the fuzz! Blew the motor (but got away) and tore it apart for a rebuild. Long story short it was parked in '95 in a field to wait after the first attempt at a ground up. I returned Oct. 10, 2008 to retrieve it for it's much overdue 2nd chance at life. Since October "Made Bail" has recieved a 2x4/2x6 full frame with a Fatman Fab Mustang II front clip (reworked) and a Suicidedoors heavy duty four link. Slams front and rear. B.A.D's newest in 22x8.5 and 22x10. 10 bolt S-10 rearend. Fronts are 265/30 and rears are 295/25. Front pan is from Grant Kustoms along with his new hood hinges for 67-72 trucks. Cool hinges if your trying to tuck big wheels. A 66 C10 smoothed dash was welded in, shaved the drip rail and unshaved the doors. I like the door handles much better. Molded in a bottle top popper where the org fuel neck was for convenience! In the near future Im hoping to throw in a 327/700r combo and drive....for now this is my truck. Might not ever paint, then again?

Re: "Made Bail"
Pic below is "ride height". The fronts turn lock to lock! Last pic is how it sits at the present time.

Re: "Made Bail"
Here's the only pics I have of the hinges for those who have I.M. me. I'll see if I can find a pic before they were welded on. These hinges are two piece. One plate welded to the inside (under) the cowl and the other to the hood. A bolt at the center pivots the two. Nice, clean and sturdy. $60 through Grant Kustoms.

Re: "Made Bail"
What made you decide against the pro-street style tires? Did they not fit under the stepside fenders?

Re: "Made Bail"
They did fit and looked nice. I would've needed a 20 x 12 or wider wheel. Really needed a x 14 or x 15. Then B.A.D. showed me a wheel design noone had and I liked the wheel so much I had to roll that direction. I have the tires still. Brand new.

Re: "Made Bail"
Look good! I've seen your truck at the Somerville show and I beleive others around Houston. How much you pay for the wheels? Does BAD make 24 x 14 wide wheels?
Keep it up!
