Well after many thoughts of which bumper to do , I decided to go with a C10 stepside rear bumper. I saw Roger over at Iron works kustoms ( which I love all his work he does) on a 54, but he did the same but with out the license plate cut out, which I would have love to do but it just wasn't practical for me to do. I thought about using a motorized flip down tag but it would have been below the scrub line. So I ended up going with a stepside C10 rear bumper flpipped it and sectioned out 3 1/2" from each side. I still need to finish welding it completely and shave the bumper bolts. Iam still not to sure if i want to raise it a inch or two so let me know your thoughts

That looks good as is...nice. work

I really like how you did that bumper. You have a good eye for what looks good! I’d leave about an inch between the bumper and gate, but that’s just me

That bumper looks good, it has a kind of a roll pan effect and will make the truck look lower from behind. If you are using stock tail lights I'd mock it up with them in place, it might influence your decision regarding bumper positioning. How does it look from the side?

Finally installed the air ride ( not permanently but the sensor need to be drill and tap and adjustments to get it right, also preplanned how I want to run the air lines) made some brackets and put the compressors, one behind each steps of the bed. Went with two 3 gallon air tanks which i put one on each side between the door step and frame

[slammed57]

getting ready to put the exhaust in so I built some cribbing, I do have jack stands , but feel this is a safer alternative. plus I can cycle the suspension to check for Clarence issues

Time to turn this horse crap into horse power! bought some 3" 409 stainless steel from GBE mandrel, great guys to deal with and great prices as well, also went with dynatech split flow mufflers... yes it will be loud, but they sound so good with loppy cams I will be tig welding the entire exhaust. it will be a challenge, between the pan hard par, the air bags and large differential not a lot of real state to work with...

[slammed57]

Went with Marman clamps to change out the mufflers (if I get tired of it being to loud) and also cut the old style exhaust flanges out ( Always had issues with the exhaust flange gaskets or the flanges them selves bending and not sealing right) So I cut the ends off and putting Marman clamps there as well. They seal great and last a long time. also going with these industrial flex fittings

its not tig welded, just a pattern done by a cnc machine that gives it a tig look. just an option that billet specilties wheels offer.

[mongocanfly]

Ahhhh...ok...

[joedoh]

that rear wheel looks like a dryer tub!
