Pro Touring advice please.

[Robert Haas]

I have built a war chest so to speak, I have enough funds to bite off this project and would like some advice.

Me and my truck have been together for over half my life. (I am 57 years old)

I have done most of the standard upgrades over the years.

Now I want to tear it down and start over.

My desires are,.

Back half type build with 4 bars suspension, with a watts link

Coil Overs

Curry or other brand narrowed rear end.

Willwood big brake kit.

Rear mounted fuel tank/cell.



So Porterbuilt has been nice and quoted me some numbers but they have a 14 to 16 week lead time. I am just too impatient for that, so any suggestions on another vendor?

Also looking for advice on the idea of just building a bed from new sheet metal and keeping my existing finished bed and making a trailer out of it to haul behind the the truck to race tracks and car shows since I don't think I will have much bed space available after this build,... Thoughts?



starting with this;
