Looks great. I hope to be able to see if in person if I ever get out that way.
Are there any places to go wheeling around this area?

I'm excited about the hacking and welding coming up, the machine will be unstoppable! Now... where is there riding around our parts to do the rig justice?

Heal fast Brett. I wouldn't mind visiting again. This time in my truck!!
wow di i get super lucky today at removing 33" of rear wheel base.
took few measurements and found easy to do. so i removed the hangers on 1 side of the frame first. then marked my spot i wanted it to be. but ran in to 2 rivits on the bottom of the frame i had to remove. but upon closer look thay lined up 100% perfectly with the lower support bracket rivit holes . so looked a bit more and only lost 1" less of shorter wheelbase than i was going for.
well removed the 2 rivits per side and crossmember for old carrier bearing mount for 2 section drive shaft i wont need anymore. funny thing was its a factory flat crossmember for the tcase up side down and a little bracket on it to bolt the carrier bearing to. good use of left over parts gm.
then found 2 rivits out of 6 for the cab supports needed to be removed for the hanger to sit flush. will figure out somthing for this later.

now i need to drill and bolt the hangers all the way on 100%
then i will work on the rear hangers or flip kit i will try the flip first. but who knows ?
but i ended up with 132" wheel base. and i think a real good look and over all balence. not to close or to far away.

WOW look pretty cool so far.
You know GM reusing parts- Just think of all the years parts are interchangleable on our trucks and the new trucks I don't think you can steals parts from one year to the next. KNOW WONDER THERE BROKE.
Too many engineers and bad designs.

DANG dude! It's crap I had to go away for the weekend... Truck looks great, all parts are made for true use and abuse. Too bad it's going to be a PAVEMENT QUEEN! Just kidding, looking forward to hitting the trail with you.
going to go with kirts gaurdsman and use it to dig some dirt up and make drainage ditches for water to flow.
wow..... this is what im planning but a bit different... im planning on taking my cab off in a few years and put a crew cab on my frame.... and cut the bed down to fit...
truck looks good!!!!
what are your plans for the bed? I was planning on cutting my bed down but also tinkerin with the idea of a home built bed too... i got time to think of it though....
