Not a lot of updates except for driving the piss outta it. Ended up moving out of Cali and just getting around to getting garage setup again. I have some upgrades for the rear and the steering coming for it.

Been using the truck more lately... Threw some new stock steering parts on it. It's begging for some rear upgrades and a manual valve body Image

Thanks, I'm torn between going full kill with Mqueen glass or keeping the Old skool look. We shall see soon. Definitely needs some good rear shocks

So I had a slight mishap last month. My wife and I were headed out to do some spectating for the v2r and got about halfway there and heard an odd sound/clunk. I shook the wheel and everything seemed good. Motor was running good, guages looked good, so I decided to pull over and do a quick check. Popped the hood and checked all my suspension and bolts. Everything was kosher, however something was missing. When I built the truck originally I always planned on making a better battery mount setup or relocating. Well it decided it didn't want to be on the truck anymore and went for a roll down the trail. It faired pretty well for coming out at 40mph.... I guess it's time to do some more upgrades. Pic of battery. Image

She's resting somewhere in a land far away. Going to wake her up this weekend. This has been like ordering stuff from a catalog when I was a kid. 6-8 weeks and the anticipation is killing me.

Awesome! I picked up a 75 supercab myself not long ago and just starting to tear into it. This one is a long bed yes?
