Looks good dude...now you gotta get some SAS on that sucker!
And while you are at it, you'd better check under those chrome fender flare thingies...that is what rusted out my rear fenders....but I would have trimmed them anyway, but you don't want any rust to grow there!

Definitely take that trim off, inspect, clean and repair where necessary.
Then do the same thing under the tailgate window trim (pull it up from the outside and check for rust along the top of the gate).
Anyway - truck looks very clean... But Brian is definitely correct about that chrome trim..

You got the diff on the wrong side!

I hated all that grinding...took forever until we broke out the big 9" grinder...
Take your time and do it right.
I'm up to my armpits in wires tonight, wiring up things to the rear Blue Sea fuse box, including installing a hidden kill switch!

got my welder and have been doing some welding on the shock hoops. the welds arnt the best but they will hold for sure. im still deciding how i want to run the rear shocks, i know i want to do the / \ setup, but on driver side the shock will hit the exaust pipe and i will have to cut it off (need a new muffler anyways) and the passenger side it will hit the e- brake cable..... so many decisions!!!!!!!
