Thanks Tom, I have been wanting to give it a try and since a lot of modern vehicles run Hydroboost I figured it should work nicely on my old truck

No problem buddy, might be a while before I get to the actual install though, just collecting parts now. If you have a big cam in your big block like I have your going to be in the same situation as me, too much cam and not enough vacuum for brakes

I haven't got as much done over the past couple of weeks as I would have liked but I did manage to get the bed on and laid out on the garage floor

Thanks Scott, I also managed to clean all the dust off my engine and put my 454 logo plates on the valve covers.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with it. In the photo I haven't clearanced the bedsides for the tires yet. She is tight and I could never drive it like that. I couldn't believe it would even go down when I tried it. To my surprise she squeezed down and rested the rear on the bumpstops. I will tackle that next, just need to do some figuring before cutting.

Thanks Jason just hoping my paint turns out half as nice as yours, but since it will be my first paint job I highly doubt it

Thanks Tom, I still have a ton of work to do before I can think about painting it. I haven't even started the bodywork on the cab yet and I have to have to raise my bed floor and figure out what to do with my wheel tubs. Seems never ending

That laid out shot looks freakin sweet!!

SeTx67 · 03-25-2014, 09:28 AM

Those wheels are really growing on me. I can't stop looking at them

67ctener · 03-25-2014, 09:31 AM

Perfection. Lines and stance are simply perfect.

jlsanborn · 03-25-2014, 10:47 AM

Looks soo killer! You've gotta be jonseing to get that thing painted. There should be a photo of that fat motor on every page!

knomadd · 03-25-2014, 12:01 PM

That looks good!!! Your engine cleaned up nicely too! I bet it feels great to see it as a truck again.

**superflysteiny** · 03-25-2014, 12:54 PM

Thanks everybody for the all the really nice comments, it really means a lot to me. I absolutely love the stance of the truck, my hats off to the crew at Porterbuilt for bringing these high quality products to the market so a guy like me without any fabrication experience can have a truck that lays frame. Now if I could just find somebody to finish the bodywork and paint it for me, I would be set

rwade · 03-25-2014, 11:15 PM

Have you mocked up your steering shaft yet? You have the "touring" drop member right? I'm about to get to that point and if you have some pics and measurements it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Wade

Wade I haven't mocked my steering shaft up yet, I was going to do that after I started taking the front end back apart for paint, at least I need the Slosh Tubz out of the way so I have room to work. I do have the Touring Dropmember up front, Nate sent me some pics a while back of what the shaft would like like from another customers truck. If you want to pm me your email address and I'll send you over the pics he sent me.

SeTx67 · 03-26-2014, 10:24 AM

After looking at your hood issues I believe mine was made by the same company. The gap is way off on the passenger side and it's high on the drivers side just like yours was. Wanna do mine
