well my trucks been under the knife for a few weeks now...
stripped the frame to the back of the cab and sprayed with chassis saver.
http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/101/l_88ca941e3552487284d409fc4a2b5679.jpg
and the front all mocked up at ride height
http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/70/l_fcf85f07706540b3bf390948bdd8051e.jpg
should be an interesting build and i cannot wait till its finished :big_banana_Dance:
i've been collecting parts for the rcsb conversion and i'm down just finding a clean white bed. hopefully it'll be going to the chassis shop in the next few weeks to make "the cut"

all it needs now is an alignment,rebleed the brakes again, and weld in a crossmember and brackets for my qa1's.
next on the agenda is to figure out wtf i'm doing with my exhaust and prolly black out the center caps.
