That's awesome! And much nicer then the bed on my truck.

jeh · 03-06-2014, 09:08 PM

It's not really mine. We saw it on Facebook and thought you guys would enjoy. I guess a single person could use a stepper bed...

jeh · 03-07-2014, 09:04 PM

Well, I ordered some more goodies for my truck. A Billet Specialty steering wheel is on its way this week. I also ordered a 4/6 ECE drop kit and I think I screwed up on the spindles. The guy I bought it from already put disk brakes on the front but I wasn't sure what year they were from. According to the measurement ECE provided I ordered 71/72 spindles, after a little more research I'm pretty sure mine are 67/70. Guess I'll wait till it comes in and see the results.

Awesome, your moving at a pretty good pace Jason.

I was hoping when I get back home next weekend that I would have the bed put back on and the suspension done but the spindle issue might hold me up a little. What's bad is if they are wrong it's about $50-$60 to ship them back and another $50-$60 for ECE to ship the other ones to me. The weight of the spindles makes shipping a killer from CA to WV. Like my buddy always tells me "That's part of Hot Roddin"

sduckworth13 · 03-07-2014, 10:07 PM

Jason, I messed my order up on my drop spindles too. I wanted the modular spindles and I ended up ordering module ductile iron spindles. I didn't know the difference. I ended up just asking for a store credit and I'm going to wait till I order the CPP big brake kit and save a little cash that way. I did end sending the wrong ones back which cost me money and then as you mention I'd pay again to have the right ones shipped to me.

Saturday update pictures.
My buddy sent me a pic of my truck this morning and said they weren't waiting for me to get home next Thursday!!! I was happy, happy, happy when I saw the picture.

sduckworth13 · 03-08-2014, 08:37 PM

Awesome, the bed looks great Jason.

jeh · 03-08-2014, 08:41 PM

Thanks Scott, I can't wait to get back home Thursday to see it all together.

Bed looks killer man! It goes perfectly with the mud grip tires.

Thanks a lot guys, it's kinda like being a kid again. When I drive home from work here in PA Thursday I will probably keep asking myself "are we there yet, are we there yet"

jlsanborn · 03-09-2014, 10:09 PM

Bed looks awesome, can't wait for you to get home and update!

Thanks man, this week will probably drag on forever!!

jeh · 03-13-2014, 05:18 PM

We'll I finally got back from my 9 day work adventure, now I can relax for a couple days. (That's what my wife thinks) Looks like the little brown truck was here while I was going. If everything goes well I should bring it home Saturday evening

jeh · 03-13-2014, 05:19 PM

Also got my 4/6 drop from ECE.

Bennett68C10 · 03-13-2014, 09:50 PM

Nice steering wheel, looks familiar

Your truck is going to look great with that lowering kit.

sduckworth13 · 03-14-2014, 12:04 AM

Looking good Jason, it didn't take long at all for those parts to arrive. I really like the steering wheel, thats one I keep going back to when I'm searching.

Thanks Scott, they didn't take long, I sure hope I don't have to sent part of it back this evening.

sduckworth13 · 03-14-2014, 08:39 AM

I hope you don't have to either, but I hear that ECE is easy to deal with if you need parts exchanged.
