Keith because it is two of us working together we have been able to get alot done in a short period of time. In fact Raul and I were discussing how many hours we have worked work on my truck and all together we have eleven hours thus far. Some times days go by and we dont even look at it

Big Al -- just incase you don't know, N2Billet is a Billet Specialties dealer. (thanks Keith! ) I went through him to get mine and he saved me some $. You might want to check with him before you order your wheels. A couple hundred bucks will help!

I did have Keith quote me the wheels as well as another three vendors from this site and I ordered from one of the vendors that sold me the wheels $175.00 cheaper than everyone else shipped to my door. Like you said every $$ that I can save counts.

Lookin' good, but I need more pics.

Here are some pictures of yesterdays progress we only worked on the truck for about an hour as I had several commitments to take care of.

The powerhouse that Raul built is installed and ready to be wired some time this week. The front end and rear end are finished. Here is a picture of the back to give me an idea what the lowest point is before the rear hits the bed floor at this point I have about a 1/4 inch before it hits. I hope this is low enough. Plan for this week is to install the E3 leveling sensors and wire the system.

jmedero · 11-06-2011, 10:09 AM

"I hope it's low enough" ......... I hope so too buddy cus the next step is scary. Lol

Lookin good Albert, Put all that pump hardware out of sight I see. Thats how I did this truck.

**lolife99** · 11-06-2011, 01:21 PM

Hey Al,... I see you opened up your wallet and bought a RideTech "MuscleBar" sway bar for the front.
They are really nice,... but also expensive.
(I have one on my blazer)
I think you will like it.

Everything looks great!

Bennett68C10 · 11-06-2011, 04:59 PM

I second that about the ridetech swaybar, I had one on my 72, very nice sway bar
