Still gotta send out the back tires to have the redlines put on em which made all the difference with the 18-inch American Racing AR 500s as far as I'm concerned-I Love em!

That looks great Grant. Those wheels and redlines make it look like a Hot Wheels truck from 1968. Great idea. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

The dumbest question in the world is the one you don't ask.

Yeah I started cutting out the tops of the inner fenders on mine. I think I'm gonna get some new stock rear wheel housings that go in the bed and box em in with those so it looks factory!
Here's my chassis now!

I kicked it up 2-inches in the front to get it to sit that much lower, so up front there is the Fatman Mustang II, 2-inch drop spindles, 2-inch kick up, all riding on 255/45/R18 tires on 18x8 wheels.
P.S. you should subscribe!

I also moved the front axle centerline forward 1 1/4-inches to because i didn't like where the wheel sat in the wheel well.
Here's the before and after.

I kinda figured that's why ya did it. Very nice work. I would subscribe if I had the money. I usually just take a look in stores unless there is a cool fold out poster or good tech article that I can actually use. Not saying your build articles are worthless, as they are very useful for those looking to do an MII swap on their trucks. I plan to do things a little differently though. VERY nice work, love that you moved the wheel up a bit, makes all the difference.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
