Reuben,
I still have the yellow truck that Dennis helped me with. I have the two blue 77's also. As for my son.....well he decided he was a Cummins man and thats the only reason we sold the red truck. We bought my wife's grandpa's 97 12 valve four wheel drive extended cab. He has added 4" stainless exhaust , fuel plate, home built air intake, and a gov spring kit. Lifted the front 2" with a leveling kit and added 35" Nittos on black Rockstars. He bought a ranch hand grille gaurd and had it re powder coated. He just started on the stereo and added a cb radio. It's different than anything I ever owned but it's his and how he wants it so i let him pick his mods. Both of my boys love it so I know what my 13 yr old will be looking for. My youngest is looking at a cummins conversion on a 1999 single cab 4x4 ford super duty. He keeps shoving info in front of me on it and how we could do the conversion. I think we will just find another dodge. Keep up the good work and thanks for doing it.

Yeah, I'm still in Korea, brother. I work on CRC and live in Yangju. Thanks for the compliments on the truck.

Frank,

Sounds like your boys have it all figured out. That's awesome! Thanks for the kind words on the job, but I love doing it! Abigail says hello, BTW. Take it easy!

Re: 1987 swb
Hey squaredaway - how's it going? I'm new to this site (As a member). Beautiful Truck! I just picked up a Blue 87 SWB. I want to do a 5/7 drop, but was wondering if you had to remove the factory bump stops or if you ever had any weight on the back forcing the frame to hit. Let me know - if you have any pictures of your flip kit, even better. Thanks Bro!

To tell the truth, I haven't driven the truck enough. It has never hit frame with me driving it. I'd take some pictures, but the truck is literally on the other side of the globe, brother. Sorry, wish I could help. Welcome to the site!

No Problem, man. It's all good. I just checked out Bigarmz post to get a better idea of your drop. That stance is killer. Ima do the same drop, but with a notch.

Re: 1987 swb
I'm happy to give this update...
I'm getting out of Korea early it seems! I'm getting stationed at Fort Polk, LA, so I'll have this old girl on the road before August! I'm really excited, I haven't seen this truck since October 2011.

Thanks, Keith. Actually, it would be quadruplets!!! Fan2zee's truck is pretty much an identical twin and BigArmZZ bought that truck after he sold mine to Frank Monroe. Of course, you know the story of yours! haha Good job building all of them!

You're just showing out now!!! I swear everything that passes through your hands is sweet. Have you ever counted how many vehicles you've owned? I know of at least 8... Keep building them though, brother!

BTW: Mama's not gonna let me get rid of the truck, even if I wanted to. She loves it. She's an Appalachian girl... Man, y'all grow 'em right...
