Me and one of my daughters were coming home from seeing King Kong that night. Luckily she really likes riding in that truck, so we took it.

**Captkaos** · 01-03-2006, 01:45 PM

Kenneth, the truck is looking good!

You beat me to it. Sorry about that. The ones I used are the SDHH7 Heavy Duty Hood / Trunk Hinge

I believe the SDHH5 might be sufficient, but these hoods are pretty heavy so we opted for the bigger units.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-04-2006, 11:20 PM

Front is 2.5", rear is 1.75", and the glass is raked back about 2" at the topmost point.

Ouch! Well... actually, they don't clean up very well. They spent 4 years in MA, and so the road grime/crud took their toll on them... they're just a polished wheel, which was bad for their life in MA, but means that with a LOT of elbow grease they should actually polish back out. I, however, don't have the patience/time to do that... so I'm going to try to find a home for them once I get another set of wheels lined up. Also, I'll be moving to 18's (these are 17's) and chrome... so I don't have the polishing issue again.

Hey man, that chopped top is Bad to tha Bone. You got the rake JUST right on it. Most chop tops look weird cuz they keep the chop the same frt to back. A little rake like you have sets it off PERFECT.

Great looking ride. Be proud man...

**Palf70Step** · 01-07-2006, 10:05 PM

It's looking good. So when does the rear match the front??

fletch4x4 · 01-08-2006, 12:15 AM

Waddaya mean? Green and blue coordinate together.

Actually, here's the math...

$20 per 7-11 store x 4 stores per week + 2-5 in prison for armed robbery +...

Well, I'm working on it. I'm out of money right now

krue · 01-08-2006, 12:38 AM

Looks good.

muddpile · 01-08-2006, 01:05 AM

I never realized how far forward the roof was tilted. That thing looks MEAN! Love the stance too.

jay-dawg · 01-08-2006, 11:47 AM

Can you fit in there? j/k Looking sweet.

swbls12b · 01-08-2006, 12:37 PM

So who did the body and paint?

Several... but ultimately... Tim Devlin and crew at Devlin Custom on Douglas. While not ideal, I will say that dealing with Tim on this was by far the smoothest, most professional I've ever experienced in the world of body/custom shops. I'm still working out some misc 'issues' on the work that was done, but they are inevitable, and so the real test will be how they're worked out. As for Tim's communication (and sit down for this)... he actually called me on a regular basis to give me updates, ask questions about stuff we hadn't thought of before hand, sought clarification on stuff-- rather than just doing it one way only to find out that's not what I wanted, and even inviting me to come by any time to see his team work.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-08-2006, 02:22 PM

Ken let me know when you get ready to sell them I maybe looking for a set of wheels at that time...

I'll meet you at Dillon's, or driving down K96, or one of the other places we keep crossing paths... maybe down at the courthouse while I'm filing that restraining order so you'll quit stalking me... or am I stalking you. I forget.

jay-dawg · 01-13-2006, 10:41 AM
