Re: My First Truck Build
Looks like a great project, keep up the work and the pictures! I dont think that i have ever seen a truck that new with out power brakes before. When was that option no longer available?

Re: My First Truck Build
I'll buy that single dunlop mud tire you've got if you want to get rid of it. If it's a 32" that is.
Good looking truck!

Re: My First Truck Build
What are you going to use for side marker lights? The law in Ga. says you must have them!!!! It looks better without them!!! Keep up the good work!!!
