Thank you Adam! Everyone is loving the black! I thought the black carbuertor was a great touch too! Just trying to make it to the finish line 10 years in the making!

"Old Air Install"

Unfortunately my grill had to be taken back off to install the AC Unit. Luckily! My co-worker builds at least 2-3 of this trucks a year! Don't think I could have completed this thing without him! NO! I know I couldn't have!

Just in time for Summer!

[Orangetonicclicc]

10 years in the making! So close!

Pictures are sideways for some reason?

My Co-worker's Jay's 9th project in 5 years. He claims he's keeping this but he also has an Orange one like it for sale but it 2 wheel drive and lowered, if anyone interested!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Powder Coated Chrome hinges and black powder coated door panel sills I think the black will make my chrome door panels pop!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Things are finally coming together!

Everything looks top notch

Final Stretch putting the finishing touches on completing the motor and still trying to figure out my wiring to my electric fans. It's been awhile since I pittled with it. Hopefully I still have my notes in my message box! Finally complete on wire damage repairs from the fire.

I'm loving the look! Next up the suspension (relocator, shocks, lowering blocks, and front sway bar,) aslo need linkage for my powering gear box!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Belt on and I changed the remote power steering for a canister style. Didn't know what I was getting years ago! Lol! Changed my steering column out for a factory version as well. Now I have back up and neutral safety switch connections....

Driver side caption!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Lowering blocks, shock absorber, and pan arm installed!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Another view of the rear suspension mods
(Once again this stupid thing turns if side ways! Sigh)

[Orangetonicclicc]

Underbelly also installed the drive shaft!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Close look at shocks and 1.5 lowering block

[Orangetonicclicc]

Front sway bar and front drop shocks (sorry for it being blurry)

[Orangetonicclicc]

Sits perfect for me! Look great with the rear bumper!

Everything looks great, it looks like the panhard bar needs to come down on the drivers side so it is more horizontal.

Thanks Scott! We did some adjusting while it was in the air but final adjustments will be done tomorrow now that it back in the ground. I researched a few pages and put my rear shocks on the outside. Was a little Leary but it seems to work great. Haven't tested it driving it. Saw a few forum member do it that way? What's your thoughts?

I guess try and run it that way, but if the rear seems a little loose you might have to end up having the relocate the drivers side down a bit.

It might even sit higher on one side and cause it to have the notorious lean to the bed.

The guy that's helping my complete my truck is more of a factory build person instead of all the custom things. So it's new to him. Some if these parts and issues are his first experience. So it's a learning process. Just don't want to bd out of any more uneccearry issue.
