I got it on the road today. Took it down and aligned it. And went and put a few miles on it. Everything is good so far. Have the normal wind noises from the wingvents but its crazy driving the old truck and having it ride so good.


I've got 3 of these damn shortbeds

Got the tail pipes done tonight and a few other things. I've never been a fan of the angled tail pipes but with the hitch hanging down and the leaf spring shackles in the way I couldn't really get the tips up high enough to look good but i don't think not turned out too bad

I can't believe that everything lined up perfect with the core support landing on the existing front mounts. Amazing.

I didn't realize people were still posting on here. Not really any updates on the truck. Just been driving it. It has about 35k miles on it now. I haven't had any problems out of it at all. It's probably my favorite truck out of all them I have. The only bad thing is the rust. It's been thru a couple Missouri winters now and the salt is eating it up pretty good. It'll have to get a makeover here some time and get all that fixed.

Apparently Ricky has been living under a rock. Photobucket stopped allowing 3rd party hosting like a month or so ago.

The photo's are probably still on Caleb's Photobucket, but you'll have to do a little searching to find them.
