Thanks for looking guys, and thank you for helping me on this journey modding my truck!:-drink

Please excuse the missing fender emblems im still waiting on my Billet Badges.

Nice looking truck. Love that blue.

Well you've got it looking good. What's next? Go fast parts?

Thanks guys! Yes go fast parts are planned. I've gotta start saving for a BTS then its on to some 250cc/200% hybrids and all the little stuff to support that.

Very nice job! I love that blue color too and the Harley lights really set it off!

I like that color.

Thanks! Hopefully this time next year I can say its laying down 500 horsepower.}>

Great looking truck.Those tires and wheel really look good to!

Looks nice Brandon, keep it up,

Dont forget about the rods being an 03. Truck looks awesome :-X22 Did you make the ladder bars?

My HPOP fittings did the same... on heck of a leak for sure. Truck looks great!

Thanks guys!:-drink
Yea I made them from a pair of pto links off a tractor and got the brackets from Ballistic Fab. There is a write up somewhere on how its done if I can find it. The rod issue is no problem I've got a complete forged rod motor on a stand in the garage. I plan on buying some studs and valve springs at RRE if the funds allow for it.

Well done. Completely different truck. Keep up the good work on it and keep us updated with pics!:-X04

This is a nice truck. Just saw it linked from a different thread. :-X22

@BlueScab any updates?
