SWEET!!!! Nice progress! Are you going to paint the firewall with the engine in place?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-02-2007, 12:23 PM

Not sure when shes gonna get painted right now its just get the truck done and on the road paint will come later...

Looking good.

Looks good! A lot of good work went into that firewall, just remember that primer is not a finish coat and oil can absorb, thus making it more difficult for your new paint to adhere to.
Sorry man, just hate to see all that good work go south.

Great progress.... looks great!

i agree even if your not gonna paint the whole truck now would be the time to paint the firewall jams and inside the cab. you will be glad you did

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-03-2007, 04:24 PM

The firewall,inner fenders, and underside of the hood will be painted before the trip to reno but notheing else...

What make are those tubular front arms, and have any close up pics of the shock brackets to fit those car style shocks?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-03-2007, 10:23 PM

The arms upper and lower are from air ride tech they are the strong arms.. I got the hole kit from nathan porter of porterbuilt customs and the shocks and brackets came with the kit. If your thinking about the kit get it from nate..

71Dragtruck · 09-04-2007, 03:17 AM

Do they have a web page or contact info? Thanks!
I just checked the system out on Air rides site, looks like a real sweet setup but I can't run air bags. I couldn't tell from your pics that it was bagged, but still a very nice setup with the shock change over and double adjustables, would love that setup with coil overs.

a couple other companies make tubular arms, belltech & CPP are the first that come to mind
