The blind spot really isnt bad at all. The wheels came off of an 08 cummins but i will be replacing them with some that have some back spacing. I do believe i will have to pass on speed holes lol ive spent enough time patching holes to blow some back in it. I think once im done with the bed i need to start on a winch bumper

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't all(ford, chevy, dodge) the manufacturers after the year 2000-ish change to metric spacing of wheel lugs? Your 4x4 will have a standard pattern, and your new borrowed wheels will be metric, which means the lugnuts will work themselves loose over time and chew out that nice shiny aluminium, basically wrecking the rims. . .

Yes you are correct with that, i just have them on there temporarily until i can get some 16.5s and military take offs. The truck wont see the highway for quite awhile until i finish the to do list. Good catch there i hope i didnt mislead anyone into thowing some on their daily driver.

Well its been awhile since Ive posted due to holidays and purchasing a house. The good news is i have a garage, so no more laying in the dirt. The bad news is if i lift my truck i cant fit it in the garage. Ive found some time to do some tinkering like rewiring the bird nest of wires through the truck. Ive got all my lights and signals working. Ive ripped out the old flag headliner and made my own of carpet.
Dropped the np205 and did new bearings and seals, now she is leak free. Replaced multiple ujoints, and fixed my exhaust hangers. Much more to come next is my ps conversion, ive read about everything i can find on them. Now i just have to decide what style box im going with. Suggestions welcome

Thanks guys i dont think this project will ever end . The previous owner getto rigged a majority of the truck so my list has been endless. I wish i had a before picture of the headliner. It was a super glued rebel flag to the original headliner board. He also had speakers mounted under it that had fallen so were hitting you on top of the head. Im happy with how the carpet turned out. They had carpeted the dash pad and like everything else was pretty bad. Ive removed the carpet and vynal from the dashpad and redoing it with fiberglass using the original pad skeleton. Hope to have some pictures of the finished pad this weekend.
