Although work hasn't been progressing at break neck speed , we have been getting a little done as time allows. Last weekend, Kevin and myself were able to get the wheel tubs properly fitted to the bedsides and seam sealed everything. Also bolted up and fitted the tailgate. A liitle more work is needed on the gate but we are in the final stretch to the paint booth.

On my end, I still need to get this engine assembled. Trans needs to be dropped out and painted to match engine. I did manage to get all the new Accuair stuff ordered and on the way here.

Yes Mike , it was a productive one . Ran into a few issues but overcame them . We'll be back on it next Saturday trying to get the tailgate ready . After that , it will be sealed and covered in black . Getting close .

Thanks Keith ! It sure seems to progress slower as you start seeing the end in sight . I've got a whole week to work on it once we get back from a family vacation . I plan to hit it hard.

Thanks my man ! Not sure what I'll replace them with when I wear them out . M/T discontinued this size tire last year . Said they could run some more but would have to be a 100 tire minimum order ! Wow !

Racie · 06-05-2013, 08:35 AM

Chris, what tire size are you running? I just ordered a set of 20x12 rears with min offset for a deeper lip instead of 20x15's just in case M/T pulled the tires like they did for the 18x15 wheel line. I will be running a set of 29x15x20 M/T's I've been thinking about getting an extra set and putting them away for spares. The only good thing about running a 20x12 is you can go with a normal radial tire 315/35/20 or drag radial. Still sucks though because you won't have the nice big sidewall and big meaty look and foot print. By the way I have been watching this build for about two years awesome quality and beautiful truck!

Thanks Racie ! I'm running 31x16x20 . That's the size that they no longer produce . They do still produce the 29x15x20. I had a set of those but sold them in order to buy the 31's . I may have to wind up going back with them later on .

The Ivory would look great on the letters, it would tie in nicely.
