Re: Goldie coming along

Very nice....... Is that rear bumper low or is it just the angle.
I have been looking for those filler pieces that go between the rear bumper and the bed

Re: Goldie coming along

Let's see the bed. Curious if the pumpkin is poking through? Mine touches the underside of the bed floor and pushes the boards up a little,but isn't as low as yours.

Very classy.
Did you decide to white out the upper cab or just keep the white roof panel?

Re: Goldie coming along

What location are your rear bags? Plates off the frame and onto the arms further away from stock location or same spot as coil spring. If same spot as coils, what bags? Mine bottoms out on deflated bag (stock location) and won't go lower or push tube into notch. My 3rd member kisses the flor and even if I cut the floor, the bags wouldn't allow it to go any further. Any pics of your rear set up?

That question needs to be answers by Curt Ukasik the owner of RPM Hot Rods. Fabrication work is his specialty. Search his name on the internet. He has won plenty awards from the GoodGuys as well has the builder of the year for a SEMA CATEGORY.

Great work he did under the bed!
