Default the other love of my life.

i like to build trucks, this is my third one. its coming along. its only got its first coat of primer it needs quite a bit more body work. the frame is almost done. i have to redoe the rear susp. im not happy with it. its setup to lay on 20s but im gonna run 18/20 combo. which i have. and will put on tomm to take pics tomm. its too hot to change wheels right now just for pics.
im gonna keep this thread updated for the people that are interested. i know some of you have pmed me about it.

I noticed there's something wrong with your suspension, maybe your struts? Do you go somewhere by putting it on a flatbed tow truck?

*just kidding*

thats funny because when i would get the 05 towed a couple times. i would leave it laid out till they got there and they would get all worried about how they are gonna get it on the flatbed.
bumper cap not fitted inthis pic and by the way those tires are 32" tall lol

Pretty slick, but I think it needs to be lower...
Plus that wheel gap is killing me on the inside!



My only real critisism are the rear drum brakes, any chance you're doing a disc swap in all this?

Do you do all the fabrication yourself? Are you a gas line tech by trade?
