|  Diaz Designs hi-lift build
well i started my build of my truck. i ordered a set of ball bearings but they won't be here for a couple of days. so i started on the chassis. i got the hole patterns lay out and i cut one out of alum. today. once i get the whole thing put together i can change the chassis around to make sure everything looks and fits good . here's a coiple of shots so far, so for the crappy pics but my other camera took a dump  |

Hey those look awesome  I havent seen the factory ones so maybe you could do a comparison shot. Were you able to find the bearings you needed at WALAWALA? Good luck on your build

I'll take durability and performance over looks. The F350s frame rails, although aren't as scale as that of the Bruiser or Mounty, are more durable that more scale offerings. |
