is that a supercab on a regular cab frame?? im thinking about replacing my regular cab with a SC and was wondering what clearance the back tires would have,cause im gonna make a tube cage/flatbed and i was wondering how big it would be back there......you got a nice start, keep it up......i like the idea about a shaker hood, a tunnelram and a aircleaner riser would take up the extra room, i think a shaker would look tough as nails on my 76 F-150

the bed idea sounds good, and I have an odd question, how tall are you? If you are sitting about six foot or less then a good chop to the roof may make for a sweet looking truck. Less domestic and more mean. I does require some custom glass though. If you're too tall though I wouldn't recommend it. You are likely to send you're head through the roof when you go over one of those big rocks you mentioned.

If i did that the Rednecks would beat me, revoke my membership, take away my belt buckle, bleach my neck, and then throw me out of the south, as you well know down here a chopped top and street tires on a 4X4 carries a penalty of death. ok now i gota use photo shop to see how this is gona look, thats a pretty good idea, as for the redneck stuff I AM A CARD CARRING, CHAWI'N, SPITTI'N, STOMPI'N REDNECK! (i just dont say git-er-done)

Personally, I would stick with steel wheels, and you have another vote for the blower

hey, the upper left do look good, but with a set of steel rims you could make your own real bead locks. good for some serious rock crawling, but I'm not sure on street legality, you'd have to check that out. here's the people that make the converters, all you need is a welder and you're good to go.

On the subject of rednecks, I may be a northerner, but...
I've used a chainsaw to cut up a couch... IN THE LIVING ROOM.
I DID rebuild a tranny in the bathtub.
I've welded parts in my kitchen.
My kitchen sink has been used as a parts washer.
:lol: How many redneck-points in that good for? =)
