That looks awesome! Your friend is right. Building is challenging in large part due to the modifications. Especially when you do it in two weeks!

It's good to see another long bed on the ground. Most of them get chopped to a shorty.

Yes I slept bud. lol. Not much. But I did. I just have the drive and passion for old vehicles. It's proof that if you put your mind to it you can achieve most anything.

Update. Tonight was the first run. I didn't want to get out of the truck. It was late and have to get up early. Rode sooo smooth and super fast. Tomm gets a wheel alignment and ac charge so big day!!!!

This is as real as it gets bud. Delmo was suppose to sell the the drop member but things didn't work out. He's a great guy btw.

That's too funny saving pics lol

Getting my wheel alignment now. Yea buddy.

amazing job and so quick! question i am getting ready to install a bagged wide ride in my truck did you use the 1/2 in hole in the top of the frame for your front centerline? or did you move it forward at all?

Yes bud use the hole as your guide. If you look at your center of axel line it shouldn't be centered with that hole. At least mine wasn't. It's an awesome riding truck. I love it. Awesome bang for the buck too.

hydrojunkie · 09-16-2014, 08:13 PM

Went to Home Depot tonight. First freeway cruise. Soooo sweet. It's a stupid vid but just wanted to share it.
