    Congrats, it's a great milestone isn't it. Looks good to. Joe
     
  4. Looks great, love the grill. Never been a fan of the 55 grill but I like this better. I wonder how beaten down you will get by every 'know it all' telling you its upside down. Front bumperettes are real cool.
     
  5. Yup, I dig the hell out of that. Nice ride!

    Looks great. I saw it at Syracuse, I remember the tail lights. Did you have the hood on then? I don't remember it open, but there were lots of cars there.

    I think its call "RELIEF" :)

    You do all this stuff to make sure you have done everything right and once it really goes around the block, with no leaks or oh craps, you feel like you got this thing figured out!

    Nice truck!

    Nice job uc4me, as long as it's drivable it's enjoyable! I really like the treatment done on the doors, what are the door buttons off of?

    Thanks!

    Very nice. I like the ride height. I have a 56 and am trying to decide how low to go. How many inches to the underside of the running board? What size are the tires? Looks good buddy. Peter

    4 inch drop in the front with 7.10 15 tires
    5-6 inch drop out back, replaced original Dana 44 with a 9 inch and mounted it on top of the springs (removed the helper leave setup) with L78-15 tires

    I have about 6.5 inches at the bottom front of running board
