Re: project BIG RED (gen3 on air)

flipped the bed over, and i knew the bedsides needed work, but they are beyond what i want to fix... so im just going to find some better bed sides..i also installed a fan shroud....not to much done, but im still chipping away at it.

Wholly crap. That was a solid looking truck... Nice work so far. Seeing the trim on the replacement doors-this truck needs full trim

Re: project BIG RED (gen3 on air)

let me give everyone a up date
i finished running my wiring for the air management, adding a bulkhead so the wiring will be a quick disconnect with the wires that go in the cab.... i also made every wire black, thus adding to the frustration of trouble shooting should this truck get stollen too..then i tore it back down, and took to get powder coated
