They are pretty close together and that was due to that watts link. any wider and it would hit the bars. this truck is never going to haul a load or tow anything and a lot of this build is based on a hot rod, I dont know until i take it out but i dont foresee any issues....i hope

I've got a few things done recently. Still working on the endless process of body work, got the cab primed with epoxy primer and I'm working on getting the bedsides off and taking the bed to get blasted. Almost every panel is ready to go into primer, just need to wait for some warmer weather.

It's been a little bit since I posted anything in here. Been doing non stop body work and getting everything nice a straight. Got the old bead rolled out and working on getting the inner fenders built. Almost to the point spraying the whole truck in a high build primer and blocking it down. More pics to come for anyone interested. Need to fully weld the inner fenders and bend out some of the distortion from rolling.

Looks good. This your first go around at body work or have you done other projects before?

It's my first time doing a whole vehicle and doing this much. Plus I'm not very good at it so it takes me a lot longer and it should, maybe going black was a bad choice.

This is exactly what I’m working with on my build. Do you have any more pictures you can share of the watts link and 4 link from different angles?
