Nice job so far Dan....man we got some similaritys going I'm also on my 3rd box and I prefered the ealier "full bump" look of the box too. I went a little farther though and changed the whole box corner .Now that box is on my 67 driver and I have a 67 box....thats already done to my liking
Awesome shop ya made for yourself...I gotta say though..looking at your build pages(nice detail on the frame)and then seeing that Green truck and then I read that it was your buddy's

That would be funny to crawl under the green one and see my red frame! I don't think anybody would say "I like what you've done with that truck!"

Good thing I didn't buy your lightning wheels I am having a hard time finding wheels that I like, the only ones I like are discontiuned so not sure what to do now. Just put the five slots on until I can find something I like. I had to move my cab from where it was so I haven't done much on mine either. I have to get it running this summer with the new power plant though only having one truck sucks as I can't drive the company truck around on my days off, so I might get it on the road then do a frame off later when we finally get the eco-boost or 6.2 liter.

The green truck looks good, I am glad it isn't at my place though. I would cry every time I looked at it.

I sometimes wish Dodge trucks were more popular, then it would be easier to get wheels with 5 X 5.5 bolt pattern, but I guess there is a reason they aren't that popular

I shouldn't have opened my big dumb mouth, my plan to spend the weekend on the truck has been cancelled because I have to work but I will be getting 6 days of overtime so I can't complain that much. It has waited this long, what is another week/month/year??

Very jealous that you're getting a new truck! Get the ecoboost, everyone I know that has one loves it.

I have to get a 4X4 truck if the wife gets stuck with our truck again she is going to kill me. She has been stuck twice this year and we hopefully will be in our new place next winter, gravel road and snow she will kill me for sure so I thought what the heck a eco-boost should tow our trailer so kill 2 birds with one stone.

I got the plastic on my steering wheel painted this weekend

For all of you who have followed my build thread you may notice that the first 2 pages disappeared, I don't know why....it has been like that for a while.

I decided to start a new thread so that it can be complete. here is a link:
