Nice.

Shaved door handles are a major pain in the ass though. What solenoids / latches did you use?

Yes they are. I'm have the AVS shave door kit. It's a local shop here in Fresno. The truck was missing alot of part including the handles. It was cheaper to shave them off.

Whats size tires are those? I'm looking at glass for My chicks Colorado. Planning on running 33's. The front looks good, but the rear opening looks large........

The trailer products stuff fits ok, it has a big bulge though. I've actually done two of these already.

thanks. ya i did all the work. well everything but shoot the paint. i just cut it set it straight then plated it. i cut a lot of the frame off the front so i can have a full tilt front end.

1st time I've heard that. Then again trailer products can make any other glass 'look good" :roll:

LOL........ The problem is, Trailer Products doesn't make regular length bed sides yet. I actually like the look of the front's better. Probably the first time I've ever said that about a McNeil product.......
