You really earned that truck. Great work.

Russell Ashley · 05-27-2011, 07:48 AM

ME, nice work. That's an interesting build you have going. Where are you located in L'ville? I'm in L'ville too and would love to drop by your place and see what you are doing first hand.

ME. · 05-27-2011, 09:58 PM

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Russell the truck is in bethlehem if you want to come by check it out.

ME. · 07-02-2011, 10:50 PM

I've been slackin on the pics lately, so here you go. I put the other window in, built a small frame for some of the bed floor, modified a old driveshaft to fit, made a firewall/ trans tunnel out of 1/8 diamond plate just in case of a catastrophic failure I would like to keep my feet, and it can also be removed.

MrTucker · 07-03-2011, 09:12 AM

Man - I wish I had the time/knowledge/$$/equipment to do some fab work like that. Great work!!

This is true. My DD 4x4 3500 cummins weighs 7400lbs dynoed 405hp 932tq (before the twins) and I can get 22mpg on the highway if I dont beat on it. Not bad.

ME. · 07-03-2011, 09:37 PM

I have finished a lot of stuff: rear trackbar, radiator and support, put seats in it, finished most of the floor, steering is done, front brakes and many other things to get it road worthy.

I have put about 50 miles on the truck so far and have a few more things to do. I need to change the gears in the rear and make the valvebody full manual also install some rear brakes. I plan on driving it for a while with the body like it is and doing the paint, and other cosmetics later.

Pop's C-10 · 07-03-2011, 10:39 PM

I keep thinking I'll come see it when I can drive over in my truck but that seems to be getting farther away. Can't seem to make any progress lately. Yours is looking really good now.

Does that black Dodge in the background have twin stacks in the bed? If so, I think it drove right past my house a couple of days ago.

ME. · 07-04-2011, 01:02 PM

Nope, no stacks on the dually and I'm a single stack guy anyway,not a big fan of two.
