Mine working on 6 months, 18 pounds 12 oz, 27 inches. He can't wait to walk an tear up the house like his brothers. My 72 is on pause for now. My wife got her hours cut back, so I have to be more consertative with the truck money. Priorities man. Take care and good to see your truck is looking sharp. Mister E

Senor E, long time no see!!! Glad to hear from you.Jackson just turned 5 months old and has two bottom teeth just poked thru his gums he is a blast. Sorry to hear about your wife losing some hours at least she still working. we are all feeling the pinch. I am looking to redo the suspension on the truck just deciding wether to go with air ride or just do coil overs.
Here is a pict of him...

I went to a little bit of hell trying to figure out what to use my friend who did almost all the work figured it out, we bought a hose from advance auto and then cut it. Here is the part number he used,,,(E) 71040 $12.99
I will take a pict of it and post it for you..

Jackson's a stud. Two teeth huh. None of those on Julian..good thing too since momma is still breast feeding. So your looking at air ride or coil over...May as well go air all around and give her the stance the situation calls for. I'm not saying to lay frame but just that 6 /8 drop that we cant get awat with using a static drop. MisterE
Here is a current pic of Julian.

I spent about an hour shinning this old paint job up and I think it came out pretty nice. I am too old to be doing all this manual labor
