That is my favorite color combo. Nice truck, and even better that you get to work on it with your son.

Did you have to notch the rear with a 6" drop? looks great!

The interior is a project for this fall but for now its gutted and getting a pair of PRP Daily Driver bucket seats. This fall it will get sprayed with an insulator and sound material of some sort. I'll post pictures when the seats arrive. I spent a number of years as a tech in a diesel pickup truck shop and we installed a number of Red Head steering gears along with a few others and I have found nothing better than the Red Head. The one I got is the quicker ratio one.

Thank You, spending time with him and seeing him learn and get new ideas is really cool.

With out a notch it had about 3" of up travel and rode on the factory bump stops. We put about 300 miles on the truck without notching the frame and you sure knew when you hit a bump. It will be notched before it hits the road again.
