Awsome, You don't see many full size trucks flex like that. I'm impressed to say the least.

Thanks
she's surely getting there... theres a bit more twist in that suspension, I just need to coax it out. getting ready to change more stuff in the front end, moving the axle forward a few inches, & gutting all the inner fenderwells & core support & going all tube. The work never ends...

That is SWEET! Sorry I haven't been following your build-up. Tell me something--Was the frame shortened or is that a supercab body on a regular cab frame?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 21-Aug-01 AT 07:09 AM (EST)[/font][p]Frame has been shortened about 30"
It was originally a longbed

Do you have a link to the previous thread about your build-up. I am guessing that was your truck shown sitting in a garage being flexed out.
