Yah its ugly now, but after some sheet metal work and some paint, matching wheels, it will look jsut fine.

Im not sure i follow you on the shackles, the front mount of the front leafs are solid, and the shackles are to the rear like conventional full size chevys. The rear is also set up like a conventional truck too.

i dont know what i was thinking, I see it now apparently I somehow mistook the rear end picture to be the front... Nice build dude!

that rear driveline is awesome! Ive never seen a square tube slip shaft, have you run it before or is it new to this truck?

This shaft is new to this truck, but i have run them on my truck for a couple years now.

Well we finished up the truck and had it out wheeling 2 times now. Besides some minor tire rubbing, we had to put in a new axle joint and outer shaft, a new tranny mount, and we changed the steering a little bit.

Wish we had wheleing pics but we forgot the camera, so heres a poser pic.
