Thanks man, I agree, bedliner turned out far better than I imagined. It really pops with the cream colored paint.

Done working on the truck till next week.

I did manage to get it back together yesterday, the truck is just about fully wired (5 or 6 wires left to connect, but they are all run)

Its plumbed, wired and pretty much bolted together.

First time seeing it in the daylight.









I think I ordered everything else I need tonight to finish it up. Front coilovers are on their way along with a bunch of little stuff from LMC and Dennis Carpenter.

So looking forward to starting this thing up:nod:

Naake has a setup there for it that he puts together. Its basically a QA1 coilover with a little different spring setup for the stock frontend but its pretty nice stuff, have heard great things about Mike Naake as well.

Still need to figure out how to get this front sway bar on there as well....

Its been very challenging this week not even being able to touch the truck with School and a fathers day weekend of camping coming up. Ill get back on it though next week. Should be a good weekend with my pops and brother in law anyways.

Oh geez no, I am just a working man for a living. I built up the benches from scratch and did two of the big craftsman bottom boxes for the bottom of the bench. They just slide into the metal frames.

Look like this when I built them.

Really like the understated style on this.

This build will have more of us building trucks IMHO.

Looking good! What would you say to painting the radiator support behind the grill black so that the grill doesn't get lost in the sea of white?

Thanks Chuck,

I have looked at that a few times and agree. When looking straight on with the front end jacked up in the air the white is pretty noticeable. I am hoping that once the frontend is lowered down to ride height and the hood is on it will hardly be noticeable.

The problem with doing paint on it would be that there is no clean line to do the paint as you look at it from different angles you would be able to see the tape line and the change from black to white. Also, looking down from the top with the hood open you would see a paint line.

Ill see how it looks when its all together and go from there.....I am paying attention to that. I think if anything I would do a black wrap behind the grille to see how it looks before paint.

I heard from a little birdie today that the Hood and Door panels have some paint on them...

Should have everything bolted on and aligned early next week.

Thanks to the paintboys Chris and Aaron.

Maybe some black mesh directly behind the grille?
