**kev2809** · 12-06-2010, 10:15 PM

man your truck looks killer! whats your suspension setup, especially the front?

and do you have any pics of the inner fender before you cut the inside of the fender? i like how you kept the stock hood hinges.

man, there sure seemed like a lot of haters in here when first started the redo..

djw32 · 12-18-2010, 12:21 AM

The truck looks awesome!

thor · 05-19-2011, 07:38 PM

waynep · 05-19-2011, 11:06 PM

Very Nice Dan!!!!!

68GMCCustom · 05-21-2011, 01:54 PM

always liked your truck trenz. Isn't that intake filter pulling a bunch of hot air in that location tho?

thor · 05-23-2011, 03:58 PM

did you paint or powdercoat your alternator a dark charcoal color? if so, what color? it looks awesome!

jbice70gmc · 09-30-2011, 11:47 PM

Man your truck looks damn good. We have a mutual friend that has been helping me with my build (JJ from Pasadena). I cut my cups down to about 1/2" and I think I may have cut to much. Does your bags rub on your lower control arms any and if so how bad have they worn?

jbice70gmc · 09-30-2011, 11:49 PM

Here is what mine look like now.

keanevann · 11-20-2011, 01:52 AM

**lolife99** · 11-20-2011, 02:13 AM
