Gonna call her BEDLAM.

A little bit of progress this summer. Had centerline make some wheels, picked up some wildwood front hubs to go on the CPP spindles. Picked up some D52 front calipers and D154's for the back. Had the rear narrowed and all welded up. Started rough cutting the bed, fenders, and cab to clear everything. Goofing around with some header ideas as well.

Im going to have my axles drilled for 5x5 as well as 5x4.75 just like the front hubs. They have screw in 1/2" studs, so I may be able to swap from stock wheels to my drag set fairly easily. (When I do rotor hats, I'll pick up some that are either dual or tri bolt pattern.)

Gotta notch and plate the back braces of the rear housing to clear the shockwaves. I might get to that this weekend. Otherwise its going to sit for a while until the piggy bank has time to refill!
