It's a speed metal play on "Rust Never Sleeps". "Creeping Death" sounded way cooler. Plus being a Metallica fan... it just fit. One day I'll get a vanity plate that says "CRPGDTH". Or something like that.

Truck looks great!
Thanks mang! I am truly lucky to have a gal that is just as comfortable welding and wrenching as she is shopping for shoes. She loves to hunt and fish too. I am a very happy man.

I was thinking about that this morning. It's only down about 1.5" now in the front. And that was from a coil chop my dad and I did. Rear is leaf sprung. I've already done a 2" shackle drop back there, and removed he overload springs (which got me another 3/4"). If I drop it in the front more, I'll have to go ahead and do a leaf drop too. That might have to wait until this fall so I can save up the cash to do I. Prolly go with all CPP stuff.
