Are you planning on making any body/firewall changes while you're at it? Or is this straight lift body off, old running gear out,,, new running gear install, drop body back on.

I probably am going to add my own firewall to it, and use it for prototyping my new taller tubz

Man, talk about some serious changes here. I like that frame a lot.

Nice looking frame.

The only thing I don't like is the inboard mounted 4-link and shocks. For handling, the wider the better. I know that's not 1st priority but it also gives more room for exhaust and driveshaft with those mounted outside the frame.

that is about the only option if you want wide wheels and want to get the exhaust out the back

Ok so there has been quite a bit going on lately in our world. We have been wanting to buy a bigger trailer for shows so we could carry our truck and our product to sell at shows. I have been driving my 99 chevy dually 454, 5spd for 6 years now and it has been a great truck but just doesnt have the pulling powe r of a Diesel so i sold it and purchased a Diesel that pretty much just fell into my lap over a conversation that my wife was having with a friend of ours at Lonsestar Throwdown.. So here is a picture of the one i let go of that i love and then the picture of the 99 Dodge replacement that i am trying to make myself live with because it has a great powertrain! LOL, i would love to have a nice Duramax but this is the only thing that is in my current price range

I spent a few hours last weekend de-badging the Dodge, i think it helped clean it up a little.

Enough about Dodges cluttering up my feed, my next posts will be of the shop and some new to me equipment that should help move us forward.....once i figure out how to use it!
