I gotcha Between the dust, overspray, and new pieces that were added I couldn't tell you'd done it before I love POR-15. I used it on my '77 for everything underneath and it's held up very well for several years now

I understand that man

Your truck is one of my favorites. I know theres a lot more radical trucks all over but man. That thing is clean and i love that color. And in response to a post in the chat thread about wheels...20s would be nice 22sand would be better. Either will look great. But please please no matter what size get something with a decent lip on it. That truck would look nasty tucking wheels with a fat lip. And i think some chrome 2sput would set that truck off perfect. It really is one of my favorites ever, can beat an obs with bags. Is that interior stock? Ive looked at pics. On here and facebook but for whatever reason i dont remember

im trying to avoid the "over modded" look. sometimes less IS more. i agree on the wheels!! hehe - thanks for the compliments.. most of the interior is out of the truck,, but is stock, the seats are 4th Gen F body ws6. (all to be dyed, painted, re-wrapped this fall//winter)

front end and wheels go back on this coming weekend. (along with painting the rear part of the frame and possibly the front part of the frame)

i'm hoping to have the bed done and the truck drivable by jun 15 for a local show

i'm gonna have to use a flash to re-take this pic to show my clearance... tank was lifted 1.25"



driveshaft is SUPER CLOSE to the cab...but clears when laying frame.




sitting in my stepdad's wood shop...where she'll be camping out a few days until i get the raw metal painted.



pretty decent camber huh?!
