TY Jeff, Les...it worked!!! ???Hey all. I know, I know..."all this time and that's all BigEd's got done?" I've got lots of little odds & ends scattered about the workbench, but these are the basics. I entered this in a pick-up build-off over at SAE & forgot to post here. Some of you may have already seen these pics. The frame is scartched except for the 2 orange crossmembers. The posts might seem out of whack to the new guys here only because I couldn't move posts that were posted from other members. I shortened the bed. The wheels are a some scratchin' & other wheel parts blended together.

Hey all. Just a minor update on the Dodge. I finished the 2 Rockwells except for the top-loader bolts on the front. I finished the susp. links and hopefully will finish the coil-overs in a day or 2...or 3...or 4.......... I have lowered the truck a bit from the pic you see. There's more in the album.

Hey all. Just a minor update. Slowly gettin' back in "the zone". The susp. pieces are painted and dryin'...so is the frame. Axles are painted. Finishin' the coil-overs. Tranny & T-case are done along with the adapter Willie said I needed. Here's a couple pics, but no big deal. Don't know why the axle pics have a green tint to 'em...they are black.

Thanks all for the compliments. They are much appreciated. I am in the process of making a Rockwell for casting. I hope he can do it. I'm also making side marker lights for the front fenders. I didn't like the way the cab looked without 'em.
