I'd feel to bad if I killed someone with a horn

Thanks man! I don't know what brand the whistle is but I got it on ebay. I have it running from a quick connect on my tank so if the horn button gets stuck I can just disconnect it. I also have a an adjustable pressure regulator to control the volume (the whistle is rated from 60 to 120 psi). I have it set around 80 I think. Not obnoxious like train horns but loud enough to hear over the motor. As for the suspension, that company no longer makes that kit so it doesn't really matter. If you want I can PM you the info.

I just started working on it last weekend. I got a set of CPP spindles that bring the wheels in .5" on each side and depending on the tire size I go with It might work. I'm waiting on an answer from CPP to see if their modular spindles will bring the wheels in any more or not.

creep · 05-26-2014, 05:48 PM

I ended up getting a set of CPP's modular spindles and brake brackets to bring the wheels in another 5/16" per side. It looks like that might have done the trick. I got the suspension buttoned back up and the wheels installed and jacked both wheels up and they cleared my fenders without having to trim them any more. I still need to put it back on the ground and cycle the suspension but the airline I was using to fill the truck's air tank with sprung a bad leak so I couldn't put any air in the truck to get it off the jack stands.

Here's a teaser pic...

creep · 05-27-2014, 01:02 PM

The truck is now on the ground and it looks like everything clears OK. Now I just have to clean up my buddy's barn so I can get it out and test drive/shoot some pics.

likaroc13 · 05-27-2014, 01:10 PM

Glad you got it worked out, & the wheels look good on there. Looking forward to more pics.

creep · 05-27-2014, 01:14 PM

Thanks. Hopefully I get some good pics next weekend.

JakeDW · 05-27-2014, 06:31 PM

I went with a 245/40/20. I was going to go with a 245/40/20 but decided to get a smaller diameter to try and dial in my speedo.

creep · 05-31-2014, 02:05 PM

I meant to say "I was going to go 245/45/20". Derrrr!

jdoisher · 05-31-2014, 02:18 PM

Maybe I have some mob steel wheels for the new project!!

I just called them to order mine. Their website is a little wonky.

Thanks, man. I'm looking into some new centercaps and maybe some beauty rings for them but I'm really diggin' the way they look now so I don't know, I might just leave 'em the way they are.

creep · 06-07-2014, 07:19 PM

Some more pics...

Looks nice. I was looking back at pics with the 15's. Minus the whitewall & smaller diameter, it still has relatively the same appearance. Obviously that's because the center caps didn't change, nor did the wheel color. It works though. Another one of those long beds I just can't help but like!

C@rnut001 · 06-07-2014, 09:09 PM

Your truck is looking amazing. Keep having fun with it and sending us the new pictures that you take of it. I have to say that I love it!

Thanks, that's what I was going for. As I said, I might get new caps but I really like the looks of it like it is.
