Thanks guys, Yeah the name change threw some people off. Figured STOCKISH fit since thats how I like my trucks. And my trucks licene plate will read STOCKISH as well! fabguy, I hadnt planned on attaching the rear frame rails to the front crossmember, however, it wouldt be a bad idea, maybe a little overkill though? My plans were to end them at the firewall but nothings set in stone quite yet.

Hey Sid, Plans are to bolt the dog bones through the chassis, but depending on any issues I may attach the bracket to the rear of the kickup. Again, nothings set in stone.

FarmerSid · 03-23-2014, 06:16 PM

So what did you get up to on the truck this weekend? Really like the wide tires on the back. Gonna copy that.....

STOCKISH · 03-23-2014, 08:50 PM

Didnt touch it this weekend. I took my wife to Charleston SC this weekend just to kick back and relax. It was a nice change of pace. Did you get your care package yet?

**chev3600** · 03-23-2014, 11:03 PM

Just when you think you know somebody.... They change their name. You wanna try to get some stuff done next weekend and get reacquainted?

STOCKISH · 03-24-2014, 09:49 AM

Hell yeah man. Want to work on yours or mine?

Not yet man. Maybe today. Who did you send it with?

STOCKISH · 03-24-2014, 10:30 AM

UPS ground. They guaranteed it by Friday? Hope you get it soon. Hate to have lost that stuff, that was my biggest worry.

mcbassin · 03-24-2014, 11:15 AM

Nice progress Josh! I thought I was on the wrong thread for a minute....dang name change thru me off..

STOCKISH · 03-24-2014, 02:48 PM

Thanks Mike, I appreciate it.

FarmerSid · 03-25-2014, 06:46 PM

Hey Josh. Get anything done today? Empty mail box at my house. No call either. Just an FYI. Might wanna find the tracking number.

Talk to ya!

Sid

STOCKISH · 03-28-2014, 10:27 PM

Slight progress tonight. Made the crossmember to stiffen the chassis and mount the batwing to. Hope to be a roller tomorrow!

TNACUSTOM · 03-29-2014, 02:45 AM

MARTINSR · 03-29-2014, 11:02 AM

**oldman3** · 03-29-2014, 06:52 PM

All right, waiting...Jim

STOCKISH · 03-29-2014, 11:20 PM

It rolls but pics won't load for me. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks Matt (chev3600)

STOCKISH · 03-30-2014, 12:09 AM

Here are a couple. Shows crossmember with the batwing finally bolted to something!

And the ride height pretty much spot on now.

**chev3600** · 03-30-2014, 10:29 AM

Nice. Couple more brackets and mounts and it'll be a "driver"!

STOCKISH · 03-30-2014, 10:53 PM

Thanks Matt, I got the bigger sleeves pressed into the batwing bushings today to accept the 5/8 bolts. Everything is nice and tight now. Slowly but surely.

Rods57 · 03-30-2014, 10:56 PM

Looks great, love the look of those wheels

STOCKISH · 03-31-2014, 01:03 PM

Thanks man. I appreciate the comments.
