I have a couple pictures of my old truck, but I haven't taken any yet of my new one. I wish I would have never sold this truck.

What did I hit? A little old lady(88) in a Lincoln tuned right in front of me, about 6 months after picking it up. Truck did suprisingly well, but her car was pushed in about 1-2 ft from right behind the driver's door all the way back. Any sooner, and she probably wouldn't have made it.

Just found some factory buckets today and put them in too, ahh, much nicer ride compared to the bench.

Motor is just about ready to go in to the RCC, and then I need to build the trans, and a few other things. I've got a few pics in my gallery, but here's a couple since you asked.




Axles, brakes are in already. Tires on there now are just for moving it around, I have some 35x12.5x17s to go on it.

HAMMER DOWN, Looks sharp!


That is about the "right height" for a truck.

Is there a lift on it or is it factory height?

dan1stgen, I finished putting the 93 back on the road some time back. That wreck was 2 years ago. I typically drive the 98, and the 93 on occasion.

HAMMER, are your rear add-a-leafs, the Skyjacker? I tried those initially, but the ride was brutal, so went with the full replacement spring. I like the look with the 35's.

Dang Fred, I never saw pics of that wreck! My bang up looks like a door ding compared to that. Makes me feel better knowing that my truck stands a chance to look good again. Cant wait to ride in the Charger........
