Re: its about time
 

well here is a shot with the bed on it. i cant decide if i like how its sitting. i may go back and put a 1" block under the rear to get a little rake to it. i was going to try and put some color on it but i havent been able to drive it in so long i am going to slap it together and drive it like this for a while

Starting to look a little bare up front, it sure is amazing how time flies.

Re: its about time
 

Well 15 months and job layoff I squeezed a little work in on the truck. One thing about having it blown apart is when the wife started talking about selling it to pay bills and it wasnt even rolling makes it easy to git that idea out of her head.

Re: its about time
 

i think your upper ball joints are on the wrong side, i think they bolt to the top of the arm, not the bottom.

Re: its about time
 

thanks for noticing that. i was able to swap them before getting to far along so it was still easy.

yesterday finished getting the suspension and steering put on along with the sway bar. truck didnt originally come with one, went with the smaller aftermarket brackets for lowered trucks. I love removing factory rivets.
