Not a ton of changes but we wanted to make if more friendly for her to drive. She did not like not having no power steering so that was first on the list. The "new" build consist of a few changes but keeping the over all look of the truck. We are adding a LS3/4L70E, Power Steering, 1" Forward/ 1" Narrowed Porter Built Control Arms, Narrowed Rear End (6"), Mob Steel Wheels with her same hub Caps (18 front 20 rear) with Tall Tires. (we don't like the rubber band look lol) The frame has been powder coated along with the suspension components. The Engine will maintain the LS look with a carb style intake and Air Cleaner. Under hood will be Painted and detailed to a degree. I'm on Instagram mostly but I'll try to get back here and post pics!!

I got some rusty white hubs caps off of e-bay! We started cleaning them up with a little CLR! Looking for some chrome hub caps too!!!
One of the four I bought had been primered so I took some paint thinner to get it all off.

Got a bunch more free metal yesterday to do the rear of my bag mounts!
Went to the junk yard and got a spare wheel (also waiting on two rear wheels) flexplate, and non tilt steering column (all of the tilts we gone!) until I can find a tilt.
As soon as my notches come in its on!!

You're making some good progress.

I hope you are planning on replacing those bolts attaching the rear end to the trailing arms with U-bolts.
