Man i didn't realize that you posted back about the glass. All the glass on my cab is good. I've never taken it out before. Is there anything else you need?

ratty 46 · 03-04-2011, 11:47 PM

Great build. I've alway dug the step side body on these.

I'm scribed!

Trimmed front fenders for tire clearance & drilled out spindles to a 5/8 hole to accept rack bolts. Man that drilling ate my lunch!! To make it worst it was only 2 holes

Thanks Dino!
Threw the hood on today(no hinges yet). Fenders and core support still need to be shimmed and gapped properly, but it's almost together,body wise. Can't air it out in front due to those wide a$$ ugly wheels and tires its sporting as of now

I scored a set of steelies now need to save for some Cokers! That's if I don't find something else that will fit as of now for a good price.

If you don't mind me askin', how much $,$$$.$$ do you have dumped into the fornt suspension/steering as of now? I need to know how much money to hide from the wife and kids! LOL

Mad Rods · 04-05-2011, 05:38 PM

I would say somewhere between $1,800 & $2,000. That's with the dropmember, bags, plates, rack, and steering joints.

Here are the steelies how I bought them. The white pair have a deeper dish than the other 2. I spent a couple hours hand sanding them today. They are in gray filler primer as of now. The wheels are slightly different but to accomplish a slight deep dish staggered look without rubbing in the rear it is gonna have to do. Painting them tomorrow if the wind slows down.
