New look- Spring 2010
For those who are interested, here are some new pics of my truck. It's gone a big change in its appearance from last year, lots of chrome and shiney stuff, removed some of it in favor of the monochrome look. Also some things i've added since the cracked head and valve seat issue in may-
-lowered from leveling springs/4" block to stock/addaleaf and 2" blocks
-lots of window tint
-AirdogII-165
-Single stage nitrous (to be hooked up)
-removed 7" miter in favor of 5" exhaust with powdercoated black 6" tip
-Removed Stealth dual HPOP in favor of Swamps GenIII HPOS
-Home made traction bar setup
-Ujoint scattershields along with other various racing mods
-Removed Detroit locker in favor of Truetrac, Mag-hytec pan
-Smoked cab lights in favor of clear
-05 Ford OEM mirrors with recon Smoked signals
I am sure there are more however here is a picture of last April

I like the new look better. I was never a fan of too much chrome on these. The darker color seems to work better with your truck. Those are probably the longest traction bars I've seen. Used to just seeing them on the cars.

Thanks. The tubes themselves were 81" before i welded the threaded ends on them, or installed the johnny joints. They are probably 7' total. They work good, but had to be that long to keep the same angle as the driveshaft

Other than the traction bars, it looks more sleeper. Once you hammer down, they would find out otherwise.

Looks good Chris needs another leveling something in the front it looks a little nosed down with the addaleaf other then that it looks good. Ever thought about painting the doors and mirror to match?
I figured you had done something like that since Kenny had done his in a similar fashion

Of course we worked on gassers and with no computers so chips and tuners weren't an option. We had to do old fashioned motor stuff, which is why I like following your threads.
