Come along way. Do you have a bad cab mount? Ever since i seen your truck the first time, i feel like the driver side rear of the cab is sagging?

Thanks man. The gap guards I bought for 100.00 from Summitracing.com when I did the body lift. You can make them yourself dirt cheap though. If you go to an ACE hardware, they have rubber floor runners for people to walk on and they sell it by the foot. If you buy a couple feet of it, cut it out for guards, flip the shiny side out it will look the same. I can trace a template of mine and mail it to you if you go that route.

I also got the skid plate from a member of another forum that makes them for our trucks. They run about 145.00 with powder coat and it is a real solid plate!

that would be pretty awesome :headbang: :icon_cheers:

I'm in PA so it wouldnt have very far to go. now that my Mustang is nearly complete, I want to get going on my Truck. I like how you went about the POR15 (removing the bed and all) That should hold up for a VERY long time. i once had an old IH Scout and i loved that stuff. i used it everywhere on that thing.

Since it looks so good, I'm gonna nitpick and say I don't like the windshield visor. I've never been a fan of those... but the rest of it looks GREAT!

You have to see it in person to truly appreciate it. I hate the visors usually, but that style REALLY sets the truck off.
