Really nice looking truck. Great job on cleaning everything up. I would love to do one of these, but have no real use for a lowered semi, so it will have to wait till I will the lottery.

That is a nice looking rig now.

I would not have any use for it, but can respect the amount of work it takes to have a custom like that.

Is it going to be a working truck, or just for show?

Thank you. Still deciding between all deck plate, polished aluminum 5th wheel or a goose neck. I'll just show it here and there, but its hardly a show truck.

Those custom angle iron rear bumper hangers are awesome...just bustin' your twig n berries...ever consider a texas square and a straight 13" drop versus the bowtie...my opinion... would give her the "GRRR" factor. Maybe you did it already but the airlines in the step box..drill a bigger hole and put a grommet so your airline don't rub through. getting slammed when you least expect it might give you a bad "pucker effect"
planning on hiding the air/electric lines in the frame with quick connects in the back? paint those rear shocks that puurrdy crisp white maybe
anyways I appreciate somebody who's doing the work themselves, not just writing a check for somebody to do it.
forgot to ask "what's her name"? you did name her didn't you. nice work again, keep on keepin' on
