And then winter hit us hard in the mid west and my momentum froze in its tracks. So to get out of the snow, I got on the fence about lowering the bed and putting 35's or 37's on it. Then work work work, life and another stall in progress. But summer is coming and so I will start again on the possibly changes.

Sold blue to get it outa the maintenance line it kept jumping in, now to finish the red truck. Need to change a long side tie rod end. Work on lowering the flat bed and once that is done put the new fuel tank and sending unit in. Then contemplate putting the 37's on it. Clock the steering wheel, wire up the tail lights after I change them over to LED.

Sounds like a plan, just give me a call/text or a holler on here and let me know the date you can come my way. And make a list of anything else pieces and parts wise you might need.

Ok so a long time ago I got all the giant 6" C channel riser pieces removed. Got it back down to a managable height and but the 37's on it.

Yeah Alan the paint's hanging in there great, thanks again for doing such an awesome job on the body work and the paint.
I just got a few things to finish up on it, but I might have a common 351M low oil pressure problem that needs addressed.
Yeah RC I got a few projects, don't we all.

Rich,
I just stumbled onto this thread this morning and read most of it. Made any more progress on your list of "a few things to finish up on it"?
And when does the rest of the world (us) get to see it?

Did you not read the part about "low oil pressure issue". 
I hope it is just a sender, which I have setting on the shelf. But I feel deep in my soul that is it something worse. Maybe I can pull off rolling in some new crank bearings. But I just need the FREE TIME to get back on it. Plus the silver truck, plus 3 early Bronco's. Plus I was working 40 hrs a week, well now I am down to part time to just get more free time.
I would love to just jump in and drive it down to OMR and make the cruise, but my luck circle is not that big.
