9" looks great! are you going to keep it that high off the ground? I am kind of liking the chop-top-fenderless-4x4 look. when I chopped my truck I thought for a second I might save myself some frame rebuilding and keep it in 4x4 mode but then I looked at the front view with the fenders on and it was lame. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Zibo -

I remember this on ebay, sold for less than 3K, right? At any rate, 9" is bitchin. I just purchased a 29 PU project (hopefully image attached). What do you do with the wood, etc. when chopping, cut and dowel? Any info, or images would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, now for the proper intro:

My name is Ed, I live in the country, in a white house, with a white picket fence and (2) kids, and my wonderful and understanding wife Amy. I've been raised with car's, my first was a 65 GTO that I purchased when I was 13. My father and I did a full resto that was completed by my 16th, rough, I know! Over the course of the past 18 years, yes, I'm 31 I've had everything from Harley's, Biscayne's a 29 5w, with Merc Flattie and now my 29 PU.

The 29 was basically an abandoned project. The guy purchased a complete Brookville chassis, with a Jag rear, built a small block, and ordered everything he could, and lost interest...bad for him, great for me!

I'll be spending mucho time here!
