datzenmike Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Rims look too wide and too much negative off set. It'll rub on bumps and sharp turns and the increased scrub radius will make steering it a chore. You'll end up driving around parking lots looking for easy places to park. Otherwise truck looks great. 3 Quote Link to comment

What do you have left to get her going before the show - in what August? Im honestly aiming to drive it before the end of next month its already back on the groud. There is so much wrong that has to be undone its not even funny. But im going to get the engine bay harness back on by next week. I need to order a fuel pump, driveline some a-n fittings and buncha random small shit. But my motivation went to shit. Im aiming for a show in may. But the real one im after is in july 3 Quote Link to comment
BrothersGarage Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 The only thing wrong with it I see is the bed hooks are gone 😉 j/k Totally feel you about the motivation, but you've got it pretty well pushed over the major humps so far! You need some boys with beers to come over and bug you / tinker with you and drag you though the slump lol 2 Quote Link to comment

konig209 Posted September 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) So been a while i even forgot i posted it on here. Updates are. Engine bay is painted and i had to buy a donor truck cause the previous owner fucked me even though he says he didnt know but they wheel well is fully polished and ive never driven it lol. So now ima going to do a buncha chassis work to the donor truck to later pull it all apart and put red riding hoods body on it. This is the donor. Im making it drivable so it can at least move under its own power. 20200826_123529 by Carlos Ortiz, on Flickr 20200826_122606 by Carlos Ortiz, on Flickr Edited September 6, 2020 by konig209 4 Quote Link to comment

The shock tower is so bent the caster is far back that when you turn left the tire touched the under side of the wheel well of the cab. Dude drove it and would turn left let the tire rub and it took off all paint and gave the steel a nice polish. Edited September 6, 2020 by konig209 3 Quote Link to comment
