How much is too much?
What is the most you guys would spend on your trucks? I've got about $30K and I'm half done with it! I'm new to the site, ref'd by Porterbuilt's website. I plan on re-doing the frontend to his set-up after I save some $.

Re: How much is too much?
Thanks-I have a Edelbrock 435hp polished crate motor and a built 700R4 transmission going in as soon as the bed is done. I've had it torn apart for 2 years now, I just want to drive it! Some more pics.

Re: How much is too much?
I'm new here too. That's a sweet ride. Ur doin' it right. I see some things in your pictures that I'd like to do to my 67. Sorry, no pics yet (I don't have a good digital camera, but soon hopefully). What have you done to get your stance? I have 2.5 drop spindles with 3" lowering spring up front. 5" lowering springs out back with 2" blocks and a small c-notch. I need a little bit more front and back, should I go air bags, dropped cross member (not sure how that helps), or what other options? Also, love your inner fenders and hood hinges, totally sick, where'd you get them?
