Took a break from the truck for a bit. Have been working on it every day for the past two weeks. Lots of progress. Will post some pics later.

Here's a walk around as of 02/25/2017!

So.........

I thought I was going to do a really good job at keeping this thread going while I was building my truck but... obviously not.

Update: truck is out on the road. I've been driving it as my daily driver. I'm going to spend one or 2 days a week updating this thread one step of the process at a time. There's a ton of helpful info I learned while doing this build and hopefully it can help some other guys out. Here's a little teaser:

Is it just me or did all the pics go away? Says something about updating your account to allow 3rd party hosting. Anyways, I wanted to ask a couple questions. How do you like the shocks mounted inboard? How do you like the coilovers you picked, you mentioned maybe you could have picked a different spring rate but maybe you were right on the money. If you like your choice what spring rate did you end up with? And last, how do you like that sway bar? I had looked at those for different project but they could not give me a weight range or torsional specs on them to know if I wasusing the right bar for my car. I do not question anything you have done, just asking because I'm gathering parts to replicate what you have done rear suspension wise. I can't keep up motor wise. :) Thank you for sharing your build.

It is photobucket extortion ... they only want $400.00 year to let you use them for the only thing anyone really uses them for anyway - embedding images.
