Awesome work. I gotta ask..........what kinda helmet is that you're wearing?!? Doesn't look like any I've seen before for cutting.......

narx66gmc · 10-23-2010, 11:52 PM

is it body dropped? And, it looks like you are using factory arms with the dropmember, is that correct?

Thanks and the truck looks awesome!!

Mad Rods · 10-24-2010, 11:11 AM

Actually that is my dad doing the cutting in the picture...I'm not sure what brand it is but it is a grinding face shield that has a half flip up dark shield for cutting also.

No body drop....My suspension consist of Dropmember with factory 64 upper control arms, modified 80 lowers with bolt in bag plates, Airlift Dominators 2600, factory spindles and still has 6 lug drums. Rear is Kp links 8 piece step notch kit, Airlift 2500's, Porterbuilt panhard bar, 2 in. Drop blocks and a couple custom touches by me. Still need shocks and nice wheels...

nice work kat ! yeah it adds up quick!

ruffrida2005 · 10-24-2010, 11:31 PM

Looks really good man. I dont think I've seen anyone use the trailing arms with the bags like that. I like it.

You gonna keep those stock drums up front?

What did you study at UTI?

Mad Rods · 10-25-2010, 09:12 AM

Thanks for the compliments.... I plan to go 5 lug disc all the way around and drop spindles in the future with brake booster and run 22's. I went to UTI for collision repair and refinishing technology in Houston Tx.

Any progress?

Mad Rods · 12-17-2010, 09:56 PM

It's been a bit slow, I did body work on the bed where the stake holes were and where I capped of bed rails. The front bed rails are almost done. Now I need to remove fenders to work on them. I have also been working on a "c10 tailgate bench" I got the idea from Dino, figured I would try to build one. It is gonna be a Christmas gift for my dad.... Post up picks soon.
