Thanks for the compliments. I made the truck to damn nice, I am afraid to drive it now! Although it is quite fun to drive because it attracts attention wherever it goes.

It is the original frame. I boxed the frame all the way back and "C" the rear end. I have reverse arch springs in the rear and the front is clip out of a Volare. The Volare clip offers torsion bars so you can raise it an lower it to your liking. Fat man Products is now making a 2.5" dropped front spindle for the Volares, therefore you can crank the tension in the torsion bar back up so that you have a very nice ride. Prior to the dropped spindles, I lowered the tension on the torsion bars to get the height I wanted. However, with less tension the front end bottomed out, even after I cut the bump stops. Now it rides awesome.
