I second that!

Wow, it's been ages since I last posted any progress on the truck. Like many others on this forum, time and money aren't always in abundance but I've been working on the truck quite a bit lately. I finally saved up enough funds to purchase some Billet Specialties Legacy 2Gs and BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW tires. I also finally got my AccuAir eLevel system installed. Next up is to install my booster and master cylinder and finish plumbing the brake lines. Here's a short video after the AccuAir system was installed.

**lolife99** · 07-18-2013, 10:35 PM

Man,... those wheels are KILLER!

67_ShortFleet · 07-18-2013, 10:48 PM

Looks awesome!

Jay,

That is going to be one sick ride my friend! Keep up the great job!

Low Elco · 07-19-2013, 08:42 AM

Duuuuuuuude... That EXACT wheel and tire combo is what I want on my square. Whole truck is just killer. Congrats in advance!

**thelonerife** · 07-19-2013, 11:32 AM

Nice! I want to the air system on my next truck build.

Mieser3 · 07-22-2013, 08:13 PM

Here's some pictures of where I mounted everything for my AccuAir system. Please ignore the bird's nest of wires as everything will be nice and neat on the finished product.

Mieser3 · 07-22-2013, 08:15 PM

I also mounted a drop down battery box behind the passenger side rear wheel to clean up the engine bay a little.

Mieser3 · 07-22-2013, 08:17 PM

And some pictures of the new wheels and tires.

67_ShortFleet · 07-22-2013, 09:59 PM

Looks great! Nice work!
Are the control arms stock width? Do you know the width of the rear end? I'm wondering if your wheel backspacing would work on mine.

72BlckButy · 07-22-2013, 10:34 PM

Amazing.... Simply amazing.

I'm not real sure about the control arm width. I purchased them way back in December 2010 so I'm not sure if Nate was producing the narrower arms at that time. I will measure the rear tomorrow for you. I do know that I could have probably went another 1/2" to 3/4" backspacing on the rear wheels and been fine with no clearance issues.

Gus350 · 07-23-2013, 08:53 AM

Dude your truck looks killer!!!! I dont know how I missed this build But i'm on for the ride now . The brake lines look great what tools did you use such as a bender or flare tool. I'm about to start my brake and fuel lines next week.

great job
Kevin

Number98 · 07-23-2013, 10:03 AM

I have to agree with everyone else, your truck is looking slick!

**Hart_Rod** · 07-23-2013, 10:58 AM

I used the Eastwood flaring tool and bender below. The flaring tool is well worth the money.
