Paging Dr. Low!!!

Hey, I just saw your license plate in the other post, I like your rear end. Do you have any pics of the back of your bed? Is everything welded up? And small L.E.D.'s? Looks good from what I saw. Thanks
Brandon

hey crank - yes everything is welded up. as a matter of fact it is all one peice of sheet metal from side to side & top to bottom. (no more tailgate) as for the lights, they aren't led's, they are just generic street rod light cans (rectangular) , w/ a peice of lexan cut to fit in the hole and then glued to the lens. They do look kinda like led's though, thats what I was going for. I'll take some more pics tomorrow & post em here so you can see them better.

Thanks for the pictures. It has a body drop right? Aren't you cutting your legroom for your tall 6'1" self down pretty good? Thanks again.

Yeah, It's a 3" body drop but its perfectly comftorble to sit in. The body drop on the cab was done by sectioning the entire bottom of the cab w/ the firewall still attached. Cut along the back of the cab 3" below the body line, then over to the rockers, along the rockers, all the way up to the seam at the top of the firewall. Then you cut 3" off of the back cab part & 3" of the top of the firewall. Weld it all back in then put a 3" peice of sheet metal in the gap from the floor to the rockers & thats basically it.
