Great looking truck. I really like the color combo you chose.

*FUNMUDDER* · 07-20-2005, 08:56 PM

Where did you get those hubcaps? those are awesome. Hows the fuel mileage? Is that stock suspension? Your truck is sweet.

Have a good one.

I just want to see that thing on a GN trailer

Git'r'done

Nice truck, I'd certainly be afraid to use it though its that nice

vtblazer · 07-20-2005, 09:18 PM

Great mods, very cool parts combination.

Lookin' stock/original is a good thing.

Yep, one of the best lwb's yet!

1STtimePRo'71 · 07-20-2005, 09:27 PM

Good Stuff

**special-K** · 07-21-2005, 06:51 AM

Excellant truck!!Looks factory,only better.You can slap wheels on anything and people will look and say,"nice".You did everything else and it shows.I like the 285/75s on stock wheels.I want to get some 8x16s custom made.I have similar plans for my Highlander(CustomDeluxe/30).That`s a truck guy`s truck for sure.So you couldn`t bring yourself to pop holes in it for some clearance lights?

Matt67C10 · 07-21-2005, 09:27 AM

Great truck, love the colors. It looks awesome

big70chevy · 07-21-2005, 09:37 AM

Sharp truck..... Really like it!!!!!!

Bram · 07-21-2005, 11:22 AM

Thanks for all the compliment everyone!

[QUOTE] D. PASSMORE
Wow! That is one of the nicest LWB 4x4's that I've ever seen. I see the tow hooks, how about a skid plate?

Nope no skid plate as of now, maybe in the future though?

[QUOTE] FUNMUDDER
Where did you get those hubcaps? Those are awesome. How’s the fuel mileage? Is that stock suspension? Your truck is sweet.

I believe I found the hubcaps on EBay.
Fuel mileage hasn't been checked yet; I haven't burnt a full tank of gas through it even. I can tell you this though it won't be great, but having the Gear Vendors overdrive will help. At 65 mph I'm at 3 grand, when I kick the overdrive on it drops to 2100.
The suspension is a Skyjacker two inch soft ride.

I'll get some pictures of it hooked up. I'm ready to pull with it, I just want to get everything broke in before I do.

Excellent truck! Looks factory, only better. You can slap wheels on anything and people will look and say,"nice".You did everything else and it shows. I like the 285/75s on stock wheels. I want to get some 8x16s custom made. I have similar plans for my Highlander(CustomDeluxe/30).That’s a truck guy’s truck for sure. So you couldn’t bring yourself to pop holes in it for some clearance lights?
I think a custom 8x16 stock looking wheel would be the way to go.
The clearance lights were considered, and I still want them, but you’re right I couldn't bring myself to pop holes in it......yet?

browndawg71 · 07-21-2005, 12:25 PM

now that is a truck!!!

*Randy70C-10* · 07-21-2005, 12:31 PM

Wow, that is sweet!!

barn9 · 07-21-2005, 05:37 PM

Nice job Bram, that looks great! It looks too good to cut holes in the roof and add clearance lights, I would leave it just like it is if it were me. Good stance, great color choice, and one hell of a truck!

BLAZERMAN · 07-21-2005, 08:48 PM

THATS SHARP!!! Is the toolbox/tank combo custom built? Can you show pics of the TH400/Gear Vendors setup?

Bram · 07-21-2005, 09:53 PM

Blazerman, the toolbox gas tank combo is aftermarket, but the sides are custom built. The drivers side houses the fuel pump and filter.
I will get some pictures of the 400/205/overdrive this weekend for ya.

ljbear · 07-21-2005, 10:02 PM

Not much to add, Great truck!

als70chevy4x4 · 07-21-2005, 10:10 PM

thats gotta be in the top ten nicest trucks category I've seen on this board.402 or 396?Some interior pics would top it off.
Later

Bram · 07-21-2005, 10:14 PM

als70chevy4x4, Thanks, actually it's a 454. I'm going to get some more detailed pictures, including interior this weekend.

Misled · 07-21-2005, 11:45 PM

ssjones · 07-22-2005, 12:36 AM

I could look at pics of that truck all day. Great job!

67cst · 07-22-2005, 01:07 AM

that is imaculate...exactly what i want to do with my 71

Americanrider · 07-22-2005, 12:57 PM

Nice job of tucking the front D60 in there.... What spring pack are you using in the front?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-22-2005, 01:34 PM

Very very nice truck I usally don't like stock lookng rides but that one is awesome..

Bram · 07-25-2005, 10:12 AM

Here are some pictures of the interior.

Bram · 07-25-2005, 10:24 AM

Here is the overdrive mounted behind the transfer case.

You can see my electric header dumps.

The whole undercarriage was sprayed for added protection. This truck is a daily driver, and I live 3 1/2 miles one way down a nasty dirt road so I thought I'd give it all the protection I could. Only time will tell.

Bram · 07-25-2005, 10:30 AM

Here are a couple of shots of the engine compartment.

A litle cleaner.
