    nice to see some progress, makes me miss working on my truck :cry: im not really familiar with bagging a truck or building a frame for a bagged truck so im just wondering why u are cutting the frame up like that? i wish my trucks frame was so clean, my driverside frame rail is almost completely rotted out and im planning on building a whole new frame someday

    The middle finger reminds me of family guy. "the bird is the word" lol

    You can find rebuild kits pretty cheap around that 200 dollar range. Just keep looking and dont get in a rush.

    two things....
    1. omg we got the sam freakin aluminum jack.. thats so awesome....
    2. 20R block i hear has crappy compression, you want more power out of it, go with a hybrid(22R block with 20R), the 20R head is a high compression beast... i got two heads sitting in the u-haul in my backyard... hopefully i'll find and 22R block real soon so that i can get me a power beast!...

    sorry i spammed.. lol
