Just saw this build thread, this is awesome. I'm glad to see it being put to good use.

Got some more of the crossmember bent up and welded, still need to add two more legs off the front going back to the frame. Pushed the trans up a touch more so theres only about 1.5" hanging below the frame rails.

Had to move the filler neck along with notch some of the gas tank, got that all patched up and threw the tank back in the truck

Picked up a set of rock rings and they were welded on the new wheels then just threw a quite coat of black paint on them. Going to get the rest of the wheels mounted and on the truck this week.

Got the tires mounted up and put on the truck so I could flex out the suspension and make sure nothing will hit. Need to build some bump stops up front to keep the leafs from going negative and get some shock hoops on to measure for shock length. Need to get some driveshafts built and finish up the wiring for the EFI swap. Ordered up some more steel to finish up the bed and we are changing to a custom built fuel cell. After flexing the suspension it came down a good 2in in height which im happy with I was afraid it was going to be too tall.

Did a little more work on the trans crossmember too, may or may not add another front leg on the passenger side haven't decided yet.
