It looks great. Good job.
Nice inspiration for those of us with well used trucks we are working on.

Re: Buddies truck....
Nice, what else can one say. Striking interior, changes the whole feel of it being just another truck. This one I like allot.

Re: Buddies truck....

I know it has dropped spindles up front & I believe a coil cut. The rear has a flip kit for sure.... he might have also pulled 1-2 leafs. We built some shock extenders to get better travel from some standard replacement shocks. He hasn't been running bumpstops & wound up pulling the front inner wheel wells because the tires were constantly buzzing. After asking me about how my set-up was, he learned I used the bumpstops to prevent the buzzing. We're going to put some trimmed down OE rubber bumpstops in which will prevent the buzzing on 85% of road irregularities. Some dips/bumps will still buzz until we raise the tops of the inner fenders.
