Had 2" spacers with stock springs and it was terrible. Doing it right this time. Will do the fronts at the weekend.
Loving the color on this lines man. Where did you get them and price if you don't mind me asking

Jeff,
first off, I love following your build man. It's coming along nicely. On the air tank, have you check out Casey customs out of Oregon? Here is their link Products - Blank Title they sell rock sliders with built in air tanks. Both sliders hold a combined 2.5 gallons of air and then you can mount an high output visit or arb compressor and another 1 gallon tank under the hood by the firewall on the passenger side. Just a thought. On a side note, where did you get your tree limb risers? Keep up the good work man. Making me jealous everytime I see one of your post

- Greg davis rear bumper. Had this welded up today. Great bumper
- resonator delete. highly recommend (still need to get a proper job done on the piping, I just threw in a 2 foot extension and exhaust tip for now)







Next up I am working on a dual air compressor setup. I want to mount it underneath the truck, but it may be too much work and hassle, and space is really tight. I think the only place to put the tank is where the rear sway bar was, but it's awfully hot up there (directly above exhaust pipes)?

Or in the cab as pictured like this

Local place. $95.00 Anyone doing custom SS brake lines typically offers 7 or 8 different colors on the jacketing.

busy day for me and Tricky Dick

drained the tranny as I had a slight leak at the gasket, button it all back up and seems to be holding

remounted my exhaust as I had the y pipe to muffler too tight and was causing leaks and pulled the exhaust hanger rubber loose

removed most of my dash and console between the seats as I am going to replace the heater core and wanted to get everything out of the way. Next steps is buying a new heater core once I figure out how to get the old one out.
