I finally registered my truck today!! I am driving it to work tomorrow :-D
Awesome.
I'll be be honest. During the final build pics I wasn't a fan of the paint. But when is all together. It is really nice.
That is an admitted down fall of mine. I have a hard time seeing the finished product.
Tim I got your text roughly mid afternoon and said out loud "about friggin time!"
Honestly, nice work man.

I am getting the bed lined this Sunday. It'll be about a month before I can get a new top made for my truck. I may finish the cab floor on Saturday. But in the mean time I am driving the truck to and from work the way it is
Going with a colored liner?
just black
I extended my front bump stops this morning to try and keep the driveshaft off of the tranny pan during heavy bumps.
Waiting anxiously for MPG report... I know you don't have a speedometer. There are several apps for your smartphone that will work as an odometer.
I'm be interested in that as well...Quote:

Where are the pics of the bed lined? Lets go Tim
didn't get it done yet. body man let me down :-(
I mounted my GPS in my M715 and drove it to my brother's. 60.6mph !!! As far as I know my truck still has the 5.88's, so that must mean my motor has a 3200rpm spring.
At what speed did it cruise confortably?
45-50mph
That´s about 3K if my math is correct. A bit high for the stock gov spring, but you maybe already defueling at that RPM.Quote:

I got some new equipment now. I got in my HTP Invertig 221 TIG welder, new-to-me 10 Ton floor jack, and a JD Squared tubing bender (ordered). Just a few more tools and I'll be able to do everything in house.

you just think you only need a few more tools, Im a big tool guy, my problem right now is space for it. I need to move and get a shop. there are always new tools to buy :)
I am running out of space myself, but I keep buying...
I've read your post a couple of times and may have missed this. What rims are you running? I like the way your tires look. Awesome job on the build and updating the thread!
Marsh Rims 16x10", 5" backspacing. 385/70R16 Toyo Open Country M/T's
I have successfully narrowed my first Dana 60 front axle housing. It is for my Dodge M37

Why did u need to narrow it?
What did u use for ur alignment shaft?
Makes me think I need to score an old pump shaft from work for this incase I ever need it.
