Nice numbers, going to be lots of fun. I've gone with Hedman 1 3/4" primary, 3" collector long tube headers. I like your 3/4 length shorties, what are the specs on them, and what make (look like Hedman's)? Your Dad will love it.

Nice progress Superfly! Your cab looks awesome! as does the rolling chassis and motor/tranny!

You would have to ask nate but I am sure 4 link would work. I have 2.75 inches between the bag mount back of the wheel. As far as teeth think the trucks look nice you should see my pts teeth.

What size rear tires are you running? Awesome work by the way!

nibs · 03-20-2011, 03:01 AM

Not sure if you said this earlier, but what is the width and backspace on those rears?

Truck is beautiful btw!

What is full offset? I dont know much about rims.

belowme51 · 03-20-2011, 04:52 PM

full offset means that he was able to get as much lip as possible. pretty much the center part of the wheel was attached to the hoop as far back as the wheel width would "safely" allow. the backspacing of the wheel will decrease the lower the offset.

**superflysteiny** · 03-20-2011, 09:37 PM

finiahed the metal work in the bed this weekend here are the pictures.

**superflysteiny** · 03-20-2011, 09:40 PM

This was the hardest part of the build do to the fact that the truck was already painted. I had to be super careful. I like the result

VA72C10 · 03-20-2011, 09:46 PM

looks really good!

**superflysteiny** · 03-20-2011, 10:10 PM

thanks man

belowme51 · 03-20-2011, 10:47 PM

looks great gonna come out great with the red liner!

**superflysteiny** · 03-21-2011, 12:28 AM

I changed my mind on the red liner I think it will be to much for the truck. I have decided to go with black. What do you guys think. Still doing the red interior and satin red paint inside the truck.

jwalk · 03-21-2011, 12:38 AM

Yes, I think a black bed liner will look the best! The red interior will be awesome! The bed looks great by the way!

Agreed

**superflysteiny** · 03-21-2011, 12:55 AM

Thanks guys I just dont want to over kill the truck

stickelspeed · 03-21-2011, 01:28 AM

I would build a raised wood floor, put it on gas struts so you can store stuff under it, do a fairly dark wood and polished stainless strips (the smooth hidden fasteners ones from mar-k maybe)... I know that's far from what your going for but... I think it'd really suit the truck.

LOVE the truck btw.

Wood floors are high maintance and this is an everyday driver. I am not a fan of full raised floors as I feel they take away from the way the inside of the bed. Thanks for your input.

black, on the bedliner, looks SMOOOOOTH

**superflysteiny** · 03-21-2011, 11:07 AM

Ya I think the red would have been a mistake

VA72C10 · 03-21-2011, 11:50 AM

black will look better but the interior is going to be a nice pop of color!

**superflysteiny** · 03-21-2011, 11:55 AM

I think so too Mario told me Eric dont you dare paint the bed red it will make the truck look like a repaint. Which he was right I never thought of it like that.

svt 2000 · 03-21-2011, 12:16 PM

i think red would have been a mistake too...glad you changed your mind. Everything looks great.
