    Thanks!! I wanted to do somewhat a classic looking rim since the truck was gonna have a classic look overall....with the exception of the air bags and 350.

    It seems like you started with a mighty straight truck! And apparently you've done it all outside?

    I can't help but think if I were to "bag" my truck that as soon as I tried setting it on the street, that's when something would go wrong, and I wouldn't be able to pump it back up!:(

    We did a 1930 Plymouth Mexican taxi that was a challenge. The bumpers are truck spring main leafs, a boat gas tank with the fuel line run through the passenger compartment, a Pinto IFS with no rack and pinion so they welded a Saginaw steering box on the left frame rail and run rods to the steering arms, Model A truck running boards/fenders/radiator shell, 35 Chevy hood with a leather strip for a hood hinge, Rambler 258 inline six engine with a Ford C4 transmission, motorcycle tail lights and Chevy pickup park light lens stood on end in the front, and on and on.

    I'm wondering how long it took to do the checkerboard pattern...
    Great save on the front end, too!
