Frame and suspension are looking awesome Steve, this truck should handle really well. Kyle does some really nice work, wish I had the funds to send my truck to him to do the paint and body, I know I have no interest in doing it

I had interest, but quickly figured out that I better stick to my day job on that.

Me either. Still haven't made up my mind, and probably won't till I absolutely have to order them.

Got the axles and rear end back yesterday.

PBFAB.COM · 02-15-2013, 05:09 PM

Do you know what size rear wheel and tire combo you will be running?

The wheel will be 20 X 12 with about 5" of backspace.

Tires will most likely be a 335/30ZR20, and 275/35ZR20 up front. Those are 28 and 27.6" tall.

Just now found the build and caught up on it. Going to be an awesome truck in stance and handling performance!

Crash_OK · 02-16-2013, 08:24 PM

Steve,

I dropped by Kyle's shop today, I guess I just missed you by a few minutes... The frame is looking great. Looks like you are buidling a very nice machine.. Looking forward to more progress.

shawno72 · 02-16-2013, 08:41 PM

Hey I got that same Moser box earlier this week

I'm not at your level so you're still not bottom of the totem pole!

This will be my first ride on coil-overs. I'm looking forward to evaluating the ride and carving some corners with it.

Dang it! Sorry I missed you. You don't live that far from me, we should car pool out to Kyle's place and save some bucks! I don't know how you get as much done on your truck as you do with it being so far away.

No wonder it was delayed.

It's always fun to get boxes with new stuff, isn't it? The bad part is parting with the green stuff to get everything done. It's crazy doing two projects at once, and I want to tear into a third here soon.

It's funny cause I have been watching them on Ebay for like a couple of months and I kept watching the number available get lower and lower so finally I had just get them. Yeah the money thing, that's the hard part

Zoomin · 02-21-2013, 10:20 PM

Time for a bit of an update. After cussing and discussing a number of variables, I decided to move the bars and shocks outside of the frame rails. Nate actually got me rolling on making the switch when he pointed out that I would most likely have ample room to make the move and improve the handling, which in the final analysis was the factor that was most important to me.

Fortunately Kyle completely understood the reasoning behind the switch and enthusiastically went right after making the move. Pix follow.

This shows where the links and shocks were before.

Here's the after.

I love this picture. Looks like it's ready to carve a curve.

shawno72 · 02-21-2013, 10:26 PM

Looks like a wise choice. You can tell by looking that the wider track of the bars and shocks will give more stability out by the tires where it's needed most. Besides, it gives more room for the exhaust

Frame looks great!!! I love that last pic too....I can't wait to see my frame as a roller.
