sorry been long time with no updates got litle done before hurting my back and now being out of action for 3 weeks

bought 2 sets of rear flares for my truck so front would match rear (openings are longer and lower) only got one on so far to make sure it would work

 

looking good..

 

id like to get my self a crew cab like that

 

sorry for no updates

just got the 6.2 stuffed in place with the 5spd and new hd clutch installed, also got the 2wd steering box attached for crossover steering and put straight stick steering column in truck

 

got new 4 core radiator in truck and having wheels made so hopefully will have BIG update when they come in

 

FINALLY got wheels back from welding shop, mounted the tires by hand 1 pry bar 1 sledge hammer 2 people (me and dad) 45 mins for all 4. I also thought to try the airsoft bb for balancing trick instead of the golf ball idea i was going to try after I heard the golf ***** may damage tires from inside and would be less accurate at balancing, so in went 2500 .25 gram airsofts for about 22.5 ounces of weight inside each tire.

 

Lookin sweet!

 

should also note in the pics i have yet to flip my front hubs in. so the front will be same width as rear instead of sticking out so far (the fronts actually stick past the fender flare the same amount as the rear sticks out with no flare)

 

Looking good!

 

thanks guys just waiting on a different machine shop to finish with my disk brakes for the front so i can flip hubs in.. took another pic of it though

as you can tell its not REALLY tall 88" to top of drip rail on cab on a truck with 44" tall tires (actual height)
