Well the rebuild is strating off slow.The frame was sandblasted and went to powdercoat, when the frame was preheated after it was washed the tar inside the frame melted out. So now he has to try to burn the tar out and then reblast the frame.I have also changed my mind on the front of the truck im thinking 08 hoe. Will be ordering some engine parts soon..

truck
well alot has been done since last time i posted on here. i have moved twice and not moving no more.. almost finished with the truck being drivable.. the plan is to put it back together and enjoy it for a while . then build another motor and trans. the truck is going back white, bc it will be cheaper and faster..

well ive had a break from work and some money in the bank so ive been working on the truck again..the cab i bought last year was from a flood and there was some rust under the carpet. today i got the floor cleaned free of rust and waiting on some por 15 to come in the mail to put on the floor.. while i was doing that i decided to put a drop kit back on that i got from a friend and this is where i need some help.. the front has 2' springs and 2' drop djm spindles. i know i have to flip the lower ball joint but do i just flip the upper control arm as well or just the ball joint??
