Josh,
Have you got a name for your fab company?

looks like you got another good looking project. I wish I had time for my stuff.
I can't even find time to fab up my new mailbox, let alone work on my trucks.
I have a sheet of .125 diamond plate to make side steps in my 02 150. I plan to cut holes in the lower bedside and make a flush mounted step so I can get into my toolbox. I'll try to get pixs as I go along, It maybe a while though.

Looks good, keep up the good work.

The steps look good but, I've got to ask about the fabbed cowl induction hood?

He featured the cowl in a thread about DIY cold air intake- that was a pretty long thread too. I am sure he will fill you in on it when he gets back on line.

I like his creativity-

Like previously mentioned. I wish I had the time to build.....

Looks pretty good. I've also wondered about the hood?
No matter what keep up the good work.

Curious, how much did the front bumper go for?

Are you attaching the steps to the body or the frame?

Good!

Just use the same holes with longer grade 8/10.3 bolts and make a plate that goes over the bottom and top flange where the pump is. Sort of like a C with right angles.

I'am looking into buying a hood scoop like that and am looking at 5" rises. How much of a rise is yours? Looks good, it looks like you have alot of plans for this truck.
