I have to find someone to build me some wheels first. Sometime next week I should be mini-tubbing the bed so that the wheel wells are even with the frame rails, once that's done I'm gonna try and get some wheels that measure:
-20x13 for the rear
-20x10 up front
The tires that I want to run are the Micheline PSS 345/30ZR20 but they are only 28" tall so I'm still looking for something taller.
Yeah, we built a sump for it and like Jake said it's about an inch deep which is good. Only problem is the baffles we made were just way too short. But that's ok, I've never designed a fuel tank before so next time I'll know to do that. Other than that the fuel tank has been working great!!
As far as texas...not sure. I'll be out there for sure next spring but between then and now I don't know. I have to buy an enclosed car hauler first. I'm not gonna drive this truck that far, no HVAC or radio anymore!

Picked up my Rear-End from 1FastBrick today!
I took some crappy pics but regardless, in person it looks
Got it powdercoated gloss black, I wanna lick it!
Here's the few pics:





And here are some HD axles that Joseph gave me in the deal. Apparently these axles come with bigger rotors on them so he turned them down on the lathe so the hats on the rear disks will fit.

I dropped the rear-end at a buddies house and will hopefully be picking it up on Saturday with the guts installed. Going with 3.42 gears.
