That's thing will be totally killer when you get it done I think 4 link is the way I'm going. My truck will just be a mild cruiser. What size of tire are you running on the rear? Thanks for the info!

I almost went the four link route. Found a killer deal on the adjustable ladder set up so that's why I went that way. Rear tire is a 31x18.50x20

Took a few minutes to finish the steering wheel adapter. It's roughed in and came out great for a thrown together piece.

I decided I didn't like the core support panel where the intake tube was. So I got to shaping and made a little scoop and when the filler hits it and smooths it out it will look much better. I also made some power window regulators with some Saturn motors which I've seen done on later model trucks, but seriously took a lot of bracket making to get it right. They move smoothly and fit perfect!!!

Finally got my billet dash insert back. I used the factory bezel which was chromed and had a billet 1/8" insert made to suit the 2014 gauge setup. I also added a boost and wideband gauge with painted dials to match the factory ones I stead of the bright orange dials. I have to make the glass shield but will have that handled by the weekend. Next project will be a monster one but I'll surely get some more foot room. I'm closing in the steps so there is a larger floor area.

Being the old stick in the mud that I am, the nice thing about what you have done is it still looks like a Fridge! Especially if you squint! LOL!

Lol...I'm trying my best to retain as much exterior character as I can. I want when done to have that look that people wonder what was done? Obviously under the hood and the bed area will be overboard...but interior and all body lines are hopefully enough to keep the purists on board..lol
