Now that we're thoroughly off topic....pictures of the truck? :D

Ill keep the thread up to date and upload pictures I had to take the bed off and do the springs that way it only took me all day to get both sides done since I was at my girlfriends dads pole barn and walked around for an hour or two inside looking for vice grips for the pack circle bolt. I ended up grinding it and air chizz ling it off needless to say top gun customz the springs they sent the hole in the middle was to small so I had to drill that out well all his drill bits were shot wasted 2-3 hours on one spring ended up using a die grinder and only took 10 minutes lol.

No I wish there was 35's with a wheel gap like that lol but. I didn't get my bed back on yet I still have to put my front lift on and my shocks but while the beds off I'm undercoating the truck and fixing the corner panels. I also have a new dent to fix me and my brother lifted the bed off two people = bad Idea the bed slipped and fell off the truck.

lol If I were you I'd be pressure washing and slapping POR15 onto that frame before I put the bed back on.


And whoops. Either way, looking forward to what you've gotten done.

I was actually going to take a wire wheel and the air tool and brush the frame and probably spray paint it with rust stop paint and then rubber coat everything with m3 under coat I have 4 big cans of it in my garage I got last year.

Sounds like a plan. Gotta keep the rust down now while you can.

I finished it put the front lift on today wire brushed the frame primed the frame then used rubber undercoat. I also grinded the corner panels where the guy used duct tape and bondo the rust is pretty bad I'm going to order new cab corners and weld them on and bondo ontop. Then get it painted.

Ill upload some later but I was wondering is it possible to change the computer in a 95 dodge to a 96 computer and wiring harness to make it obdII so I can get a tuner. I want a tuner but they don't make them anymore for a OBDI port.
