i wouldnt mess with the height anymore on the back of the truck yet, with it only sitting 1/2" higher in the front the suspension should settle atleast that much when the springs break in up front.

also, i might ahve missed it, but is there a trans in the truck at all right now, if not the added weight of the trans to the front of the truck might help settle it out some

 

[mjonesjr]

it has an auto in it now. The OD is out of it, that is one of the many reasons why I am swapping to a manual transmission.

This is my new switch panel. Thought it turned out quite nice. This is for my "new" items (those will find out later). These pictures also show the stock warning lights. One for each exterior light, low fuel, and low washer fluid.

And some pictures of my new electrical console. This will house a 12 circuit fuse panel. I am going to finish wiring it tomorrow.

And this is some random shots of my interior....

What i want to know is how you got the exact same cb as me

 

[mjonesjr]

I stole it from my brothers garage. He wasn't using it, so I figured I would!

 

[mini_monster]

i think the best thing to do is to wheel it till it dies that would be chill...........

 

[Destroyer000]

So I should take advise from someone who doesn't know proper English?

Thanks, but no.

 

[Fusion]

[triumphrider-1]

Are you going to put a pinstripe between the tan and red?

 

[mjonesjr]

Well I got my new light bar installed today. Thanks to Fusion for swapping me lights. I have been looking for one of these lights bars for about 7 years. Fusion had one brand new that he sold to me. These were discontinued in the mid '90s. I love these things.

It has 8 55w lights in the front, 4 55w lights in the rear, and 1 55w light on each side.

I also upgraded my alternator to run this light bar to a 200A PowerMaster alternator. I had to make a custom upper bracket for it to fit correctly. I will post pictures of it tomorrow.

Hopefully I will have light up shots of the light bar tomorrow night!

After!
