good work as always!

That bites about the mirrors lol


I definitely think it looked meaner as the dually but fully understood your reasoning for converting it back,

i cant decide if i like the flares or not either!

Its about time for the 86 project! You've been talkin about it forever!

Thanks guys. The problem is not my addiction. It is the town. I am only SUPPOSED to have 2 unregistered/ insured vehicles on my property. The "new" red truck makes 5.

I am still deciding on the flares, I can always take them off.

I bought the red truck to drive while I redo my ranger. I have a funny feeling i will be redoing the red truck after the ranger(and it may replace the ranger)

As for the 86.. I still need to buy a DT360 for it.

the PSD bronco project is in line too.

the red Dump truck is also a project

the lightning I still have to put aluminum heads, cam and SC on and try to find a 5 speed for it

And I have to part the pewter SD and the Yellow F350

Too many projects, not enough time

I am a Subcontractor for the power company. That is me on the left

3 reasons really.. 1. PENdot not allowing me to raise the GVW, 2. the truck BARELY fit in the garage and 3. I HATED the way it looked with the cap

Let me know when you start the ranger project I really want ideas for our ranger and the work you do I love so that's why I want to see it done.

This was my first time reading through this build and as usual, you do very impressive work. The dually setup was cool, but I think it looks better now. My favourite build is still your blue Bronco.

I went truck pulling last night.
Looks like I will be putting a different clutch in.
I smoked it all the way down the truck last night(13" HD organic)

I am thinking a dual disk so I can use it for it primary use(towing)

I got 20 out of 25 trucks. I was also 1,100lbs light, the lowest HP and the Oldest truck there

Sounds like you did pretty well despite the clutch, Brad.

Hey Brad,

On those Dee Zee Tough Steps, do you need to drill holes in the frame to mount them? Or do they just bolt on with holes that are already there?

That's what I figured, I just wanted to be sure before I decide to get a set.

I'm planning a lot of work on the 97 this winter and I'm still undecided if I want to get a new set of nerf bars or the tough steps. (the nerf bars I have now are all dented up from the PO)

I put the Dee Zee steps on mine specifically because they do mount to the frame and we use them on every entry/exit.

Now as a complete package, it looks fantastic as usual. I really like the fender flares on there. Now, you say keep the snow and leaves out if the bed. Don't you put your trucks away in the garage in the winter to keep them away from the salt and winter conditions?
