I know the feeling.

We have an icecream maker sitting on top of the cabinets, and it is sooo full of dust/cobwebs, the spiders have a hard time getting in and out of it.

Andy is rather handy with that grinder. Did he give you a grinder without a handle?

Looks good Mikey!

Wish I had some time to help yah out brother.

Those tires are so frickin tuff! I never thought that a set could look like those and still hold air and get hammered off road and still drive some long distances on the hwy.

I like the museum idea.

well suspension is mostly done

holy approach angle batman!



well first impressions werethat it is tall the back of the bed is about an 1" below my shoulder the front is about a 1" taller then the rear.... the push pull steering with soft suspension and no stabilizer is scary..... but it rides like a caddy and flexes a bit more then the old springs did.....i need to put on my wheel spacers i just got so i can give it the true flex test(rear tires hit the springs)
what still needs to be done:
CROSSOVER STEERING!!!!!!
cut a hanger bolt so it doesnt punch my fuel tank
replace u joints in rear shaft (new angle = squeak squeak clunk clunk)
get new front shaft built
level the front with shackles
figure out if my e brake cable is gonna break due to flex
put on wheel spacers
put top and doors back on (will not fit in garage anymore)
build new front bumper
wheel the piss out of it

If she needs a support group, Alea had started one. I drove her crazy for a bout 2 years. She can help, one step at a time.

Truck looks killer. Nice work!
