i swear the po of my truk used beer cans to scrape ice off the back window
that would go along with bolting a ladder rack to the cowl too

It's really coming together nicely bud. I bet you're like a kid at Christmas, waiting to see it back in 1 piece. It's sure going to turn some heads

That's for sure, today i'm installing the front bumper/ grill, can't wait to see that chrome bumper installed .

[dubie]

it'll probably give the truck a lot more dimension by bringing everything closer to the ground

It's funny you say that Jean-Marc, because I was going to ask you to do that once the bumper was on hahahaha.

[JML55]

Well it was a long day today, took a good part of the day to get the grill and bumper on. Sure is not the same with new paint on, seams like everything that was previously mockup don't fit no more. And there was a few things that still needed to be finish. Well since the truck was outside for a few pics and the weather was nice i took it for a spin around the yard, video to come. Had a misfire code on the engine, ended up been a bad plug. Runs much better now.

[apache200]

thank you for the info. cant wait to see the pics of it with the grille and bumper on

[Kim57]

That is looking great.

Yeap a little too low, I cut the coil spring down a bit too much it looks like , the front tires are rubbing on the fenders.

[dubie]

what size of tire are you using up front?

225-50/16 on 8" rims, those are S10 extreme wheels they dont come in narrower . Got a couple options change the coil spring, or go with different offset wheels.

Looks sweeet...Jim

[apache200]

Thanks man, hope she drive as good as she looks

i am loving the way this thing sits. There's so much chrome on the front, it makes it look like it's weighing it down.

Thanks man, but it was sitting way too low with the tire set i have on now. So instead of getting new wheels ( maybe later i'll get an other set of wheel with different offset) i swaped the coil spring last weekend , its sits a lot more level now and no tire rubbing issues.
