I bet there is only maybe 10 people on this board who will remember APM, I have a few of those fire extinguishers myself The air horns were nice too. They made some cool stuff.

I've still got an APM Aluminum rear bumper for a blackfoot in a parts box. They made some cool stuff at the time. Nothing compared to todays companys.

Looks like a good start. I will be interested to see how it works with the bigger tires. This is the link to the SS build that I did Full Bodied Silverado SS with drop bed, 4-wheeler, and interior. Those bodies look good when its all said and done.

Hey guys so I got this build and needed a little help with it. So i decided to take over to my good buddy 51willysjeep. He said that he could make a little room at his shop. Now keep in mind I did not just drop it off and hope that he builds it, I will be building it with his help, when he can pull away from his builds. We will post pics when we can. I am really excited about this build. I have a real SS and I would never lift that one so why not lift this one. I have seen some builds on here of SS's and though why not.. So stay tuned!!!!
