Looks good! It is funny that your truck is the same paint scheme as

Still at it! Just picked up some 315/75r16 Maxxis Bighorn's and 16x8" plain steel wheels and painted them Antique White. I want to put a couple miles on the truck to see how much the front end will settle before I get new rear leafs, I want it as level as possible. While the truck was out of commission I got a MSD Atomic fuel injection setup, had to order a kit from Tanks, Inc to mount the fuel pump in the tank then I'll be driving again.

I'm anticipating the EFI being straight forward, if I write about it it would be in a new thread. I always want to take more pics but my iPhone is my camera and my music. I can't work without Hank III on Pandora!

Stopped by Deaver in Santa Ana and had some rear springs made up. Factory F350 springs had 7 thick plys plus an overload, and about 1" of travel, give or take. New springs have 11 thin plys. I gave them the weight of the truck and the weight of the rear axle alone and told them I'm not hauling anything in the bed and I wanted 2 1/2" of lift. Also had the pin in the center of the leaf moved rear-ward 1" to fit the tire better in the wheel wells.

End result I've got 46 1/2" (within 1/8" amazingly) to the center of the "dent" all the way around, except one front corner is 1/2" low. Looks like the *** end is sagging a little but the ground isn't that flat either. Been out of commission for too long, installed MSD Atomic fuel injection, 3g alt upgrade, Mark VIII fan, every aspect of the power steering replaced all in the down time. Great feeling to be back on the road! YEE YEE!
