Btw TX. What ever happened to those billet clamp pieces you made for the tubular A Arms and the E Leveling rods??

That looks much better!

Nice mod on an overlooked area.
Excellent work!

Xeen · 12-30-2012, 03:49 AM

I take it you are going to instal some long thin defrost vents in place of the square factory defrost vents?
Im also guessing you are going to remove the center dash speaker hole?

I really like the smoothing of the toe board supports. I may have to borrow that idea.

I was thinking two piece dual pipe inlets, that way you can get more defrost coverage, its not much more complicated to fabricate but would be way more effective.

Beautiful job on the metal fab work, I`m liking where this is headed.

original-71 · 01-11-2013, 03:48 PM

looks great John if i know you, this thing is gonna be a bad mother you know what

sduckworth13 · 01-11-2013, 03:58 PM

I like your idea with shaving the cowl and removing the speaker grill so much, I'm going have to put that on my list of things to do. Nice job on the truck so far.

Nice Porterbuilt order you have there, you stated in your first post you were going with the Touring/Mild kits from porterbuilt. I'm assuming you went with the Touring front dropmember and the Mild rear dropmember, correct. If so I can't wait to see how this looks cause I plan on running the same on mine someday when I have the funds for it. I really like the metal work your doing and the attention to detail. Looks great.
