Hey Td those are excellent photos! I like the way the paint looks slightly dusty there. Excellent contrast!

Can your truck really take one ton of gravel in its bed (I don't know much about lowered suspension)?

Hey Td!!! HAAA!!!

In addition to wondering about the ton, I was thinking, "Gosh, is he really willing to load a bunch of gravel in to that nice looking truck?" Then I realized that I'd never seen a photo of the inside of your bed, so I wasn't sure!

the inside of the bed is super straight but its still in epoxy primer, i wasn't sure if i wanted to paint it or do a spray-in liner so i just left it in epoxy for the time being. now i have no expendable income to invest in it so it'll have to wait for a while :cry:

Thanks Tim,
No I don't mind, in fact I'm flattered...but sadly, there hasn't been a lot of progress lately. :roll:
I'm currently on kind of a "Poverty Break" till after the holidays.

This is one of the latest pics :) I mocked up the grill to see how it'd fit, then blew it apart to start polishing it.
....My girlfriend says it makes it look more like a "truck" with the grill on it...& less like a "Cab on a 4 wheel dolly" :lol:

TD, I have been looking for you for a while, I have your truck posted on my desktop, It looks good Bro., I just dropped my son's truck with the DJM stuff and put disc brakes on it, only to find the limitations of wheels offered for 5 on 5.5. I would really love to know what lug pattern you used and what sizes and offsets your wheels are and diameter of course. I am not into copying another's ride, but this is the look i was looking to acheive. We have some 15X10's on the back now with 275/60's, and thier close, very close. It does have a nice tucked look, but he's wanting to go with something different later.

Thanks Yarddog

Yarddog,

they are 5x5.5, i had American Racing's custom shop build them as a custom order and waited 4 months to get them to my door. ive since heard that they will no longer build them, whether that's true or not i don't know. they are 20x10's in the rear and 20x8's in the front. the rears are 4.50 back spacing while the fronts are 4.25 i have 275/35's on the rears with 245/40's up front :thup:

sorry it took a while to respond, i haven't had time to get on alot lately with Christmas and all going on.
