Cool build.
I like the spotlights.
Were they aftermarket or factory option?

That's the money shot right there. Damn that looks good. It just re-affirms that we are doing the right thing when it comes to our 58 GMC short fleetside

Looks good.
I like the contrast of the orange covers.
Maybe you can paint the fins on the old style covers.

This was supposed to be a bolt in kit off ebay wish i wouldnt have gotten it but im just building a cruiser so no worries.

[dubie]

Is it because of the quality of the parts? I see Chassis Tech has a bunch of kits for sale on Ebay for pretty cheap, but do you get what you pay for?

We're building this truck as a driver anywhere during the summer months kind of truck and the 4 link with a M2 front clip seems to be the direction we're headed in.

Wow, that looks really neat! Looks like it would take a good exhaust man to snake the pipe through?

I was being cheap and thought to myself bolt in sounds really easy but should have gotten a universal one instead don't care for the lower brackets they hang low and rods are thin.

[dubie]

i noticed the bottom bracket hangs a bit low. What did you use up front for the IFS?
