Better pics without the sun glare.

And no, there will not be a "formal" photoshoot without the garbage cans.

Re: 1961 Indian

That's a great stance. Just what I had invisioned. Makes me more determined than ever to keep working even though I'm a long ways off from being on the road.

Re: 1961 Indian

My coils were busted up front too... The truck looks great w that stance!! The wheels look great too. I was amazed that a 4/5or6 drop doesnt bury 15s anymore than they do. Keep up the good work!!

Re: 1961 Indian

I got a little tired of the exhaust vibration from the turndown's before the rear axle. Now that the suspension is finished, I had tips ran all the way out by West Coast Muffler in Concord. I rattle can'd that in high temp semi gloss black. With these megaphone tips this thing now sounds like a ski boat underwater at idle.

Broke out the rattle can again, flat white around the rear window. Also bought the sticker kit from Brothers Trucks for the tailgate.

Re: 1961 Indian

In case you haven't noticed, I've got a little bit of A.D.D. with these trucks. I decided to sell this longbed and will be starting an Air Ride Porterbuilt short frame in the next couple of weeks.

More to come -
