Re: Just another build thread
Hey Matt, keep your eyes open for a decent cab, air if possible. Im tired of crappy ones, and having to give them away to get them out of my way.
Project looks good, not bad for such a young buck!!! Darren

Re: Just another build thread
Just an update , my trash to build a truck was thwarted by me wanting a NICE quality truck
I am currently building a frame table, then the frame will be z'd 3 inches front and rear reuslting in a 6 inch front drop with stock springs and tons of cround clearance on the a arms , spraping the on my 64 has grown quite fustrating. the box floor will be raised 3 inches to match and I can run a blazer tank that doesnt hang down below the bumper. UPDATES WILL BE POSTED ASAP. oh right and IM scrapping the junker 350 for a 2003 6.0 and 4l80e or t56.
