    this is nowhere near showing real time of what has taken place with my truck, but it is a recollection of what all has been done to it since I got it. I believe I got it like 1.5 years or 2 years ago.

    Sat like this for probably 5 or 6 years.

    Few fuel filters, lots of language, and some pissed off nights, I drove the truck home on the old gas and oil haha.

    Dropped on my probe 16's. These are staying, no need for bigger!

    It hasn't been easy, that's for damn sure. Stressful as anything i've ever been through, and not because the work being done.

    sweet thanks. been thinking about what to do with the front. and the lower radiator hose will hit the strut rod bracket after body droping and zing. thought about doing something like you had at 1st with the bent tubing, but wasnt sure how it would ride, dont want it to shake. so thaks so much for the info. gonna pass the info on to someone else here, he is having same issue. THANKS BRO

    Sharp man!! I like where the body was cut around the tranny. I've never seen it cut there before and it looks real good.

    you mean for the tranny tunnel? we got lucky, the top part was cut out to lay the truck out on the trailer and then we cut it apart to fit the tranny in and learned the rear top piece actually fit back in there so we just had to fit the side pieces. It will get a full sheetmetal floor next winter though. Have some plans.
