I also had got some new leaf spring clamps, never was satisfied with my home made ones.. anyway i also finished up my new brake lines, they are done! I cleaned up my driveshaft and painted it and installed it, I cleaned my exhaust and painted it with bbq 2,000 degree paint lol it looked bad and at least it will look good for a little while.. lol starting to get the itch again! wooohooo lol

thanks!

ok worked some on my cab and front fenders this past week... I do not like bodywork! lol but im making progress at least.. still lots to do!.

Body work is like finishing drywall, both are tedious and raise a lot of dust. Looks like your moving in the right direction.

ROUGHCOUNTRY.COM ASK FOR DAVEY THEY WERE CHEAP LIKE $25 I THINK

What did you ever do about the steering column

LOL IM HOPING TO LOSE A LITTLE WEIGHT BEFORE I GET THE TRUCK DONE.. I THINK THAT WOULD BE EASIER THAN MODIFYING MY COLUMN..

going back together, slowly but surely.. im gonna try my best to have it road worthy by slickstock, cause I WILL BE THERE!!
