I like the inner fenders you made. What transmission is that hooked up to your motor? Also would you be willing to sell some frame horns cut from the rad supports forward, I cut mine off for a roll pan but didn't realize its illegal to have no front bumper, now I have a roll pan for sale. Let me know if your willing to cut one of your frames I'll bring the tools.

The trans is a 350 , I also have a 400. But I'm using a 700r4. Yes I could get you a couple frame horns, the frame is just in a couple feet of snow though. I was going to dig it out soon so that works I'll let you know when I get it out.

Rust,
Please tell me how you went about getting another SPID made for your truck. Unfortunately the PO decided that he needed cup holders and drilled two large holes in mine.

thx in advance,

RRC 02-25-2013 07:50 PM

Re: Here we go!!!
 
Billet Specialties.....the first pic is Fuelie and the second is Hiboy. I like the first one too , but it never hurts to ask for others opinion.
