Hey, that 4 link system you emailed me pics of looks great. Did you buy a kit or did you just by the required parts and build it yourself? It looks like it was a very strait forward installation.

REPO1...........this was a kit from Art Morrison.....all I did was put it together, other than welding in the crossmember and stuff.................HUCK..........I realize some people don't like to cut on these trucks and I really understand that, but I really wanted to tub this one......I am using stock tubs and welding 2 together, to make it look more stock in the bed...........I haven't cut on the frame any, so if it had to be, it could be put back stock..........as for this looking better than most "after pix".............hmmmmm....don't get me wrong, it looked good from a distance, but the rust was starting to take over on the bottom of the doors and fenders and bed floor.......it was just still in the bubble stage, where the paint hadn't busted yet.........I really hope it doesn't offend anybody that I chose to cut my bed floor.....that wasn't my intentions at all.......

So thats who's truck that is. I used that pic for my website for the longest time. Its the closest pic I found showing what I was wanting to build with my truck. I understand about the cutting up an original truck. I started out with a real solid truck and the only original parts on mine is the cab, doors, steering column frame and 1 trailing arm. EVERYTHING else has been changed.

If you've got some pics of that work you've done i'd like to see it

Your truck is too pretty to convert to ProStreet! Leave it alone and go find a beater to modify. By the way, nice neighborhood.
