First Pictures

These are a couple of pics I took after getting it off the trailer and into the garage. I am still trying to figure out how to work within the threads. I am not very good with this so please excuse my delay in responding.

Your truck is awesome, i can't believe the condition it is in after sitting for that period of time! Great job on the re-build. What disk brake kit did are you using?

Here is the front shock setup:






This was pretty easy and seems like it will work well.

Change in front shock setup

I didn't like how the shocks were at a funky angle. So, I added the bracket from the maverick. This looks really great to me:









I also did some por-15 painting as well. I painted the inner fenders apron and some of the inside cab:







Getting close to being able to put some paint on the cab and getting the motor going. I am so ready to do some driving!!!

Mocked up and fabricated radiator brackets

Got some work done the past 2 days:





The brackets went together great.... But after putting the grille on I had to add a 1" tube due to conflicts with the cover above the radiator.



Still doesn't look to bad.

Got primer in the mail as well.

Decided to go with Eastwood:



Still a few weeks from spraying primer on. After doing research, I still need to purchase a few more items anyway...

Mock-up of rear shocks

Here is how I'm going to mount my rear shocks:





I ended up coming up with a design so I could use the same shocks on the front as well as the rear.
