The first few I am doing at a reduced price to put my calling card out there for some under my name only!!

somebody else get in line after me, this whole thing is only costing me $50

EDIT! Anyone else notice i might be having a problem w/the gas tank getting close to the pavement when we get the rear bolt-in notched and its bagged?? its currently sitting on the bumpstops w/o any springs, and the tank looks 3-5" off the ground, thats going to suck!!

If you have XP, you can download this and right click on the picture on your computer and select "Resize Pictures" and use the small setting to make a smaller copy. Then you should be able to put it in your post using the manage attachments button.

Skunkwerx like your ride. Do you have any more stats on that thing as far as wheel and tire size and air bag procedures? I wish I could just bag and wheel my 72 swb cheyenne but the Home Owners association would probably kick me out of the hood!! Well, the little lady too.

Take a little road trip to Rockwall/DFW for a day or 2 & your H.O. association will never know what hit 'em

Now the wife on the other hand..... they're a little tougher when it comes to pulling a fast one

Hey hey, now you are pushing it. It is bad enough that I am doing yours and am going to pay for my guys to help me on Brandi's truck. Mine is not far away, hers on the other hand is going to need some help!!

*72CSTC5* · 06-11-2007, 07:59 PM

Got some more sheet metal stripped and working on the last of the bodywork of the exterior of the cab before I go inside. Rt rocker and floor sections by this weekend hopefully and then on to the front of the truck about what we talked about. Do not want to let the cat out of the bag on that one until it is done.
