forgot to add that we might get a dropped i beam to lower the front 3" ...that with the wide tires in back should look awesome //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

we redone one of the cab corners today, still needs to be finished welding and stuff... The truck is officially going to be white and orange, interior will be orange on top with a pinstripe seperating it and white on the bottom....wont be a ratrod any longer..... The firewalls painted allready. Put a patch in the floor to and painted it..

this one has been sitting for about 16 years and we pulled it out of the weeds, put a new fuel pump we had laying around on it and put some gas to it and it crunk up within 30 mins......were not even doing this truck a ratrod no more (dad changes his min every day) so its going to be done regular. IT will be orange with a pinstripe seperating it from white on the bottom. Did some more bodywork....Have pics up in a couple mins
