Nice work. After seeing so many 20" or bigger wheel and tire combos I really like what your going with.

Re: chassis is done!!!

Looks good, but is that exhaust tail pipe that has that bend in it before the rear end? I've never seen that before. Looks like that was to go over the rear axle housing.

Re: chassis is done!!!

That's the first shortie that I've ever seen with helper springs. Are they original or did you add them?

Re: chassis is done!!!

Very nice!

And like mentioned, not many 1/2 ton SWB trucks with the overloads. Your's is the only one I have seen besides Krue's.
