Nice looking highboy. How do you keep the paint looking so nice with those big meats on there. Any interior and engine bay pics.

Welcome to FTE, very nice rig, I like silver also. Make sure and join up with your state chapter. Who did you get your front springs from?

Nice truck! The picture with Rainier in the background is great. Trying to guess where abouts you are from that picture; Gig Harbor?

It has a full spring lift from the 80,s. It's the old skyjacker soft ride.

Paint stays nice because I use the truck as my fair weather driver. Asphalt roads only. To much work was done on this truck for me to wanna play in the dirt.
