Default Billy Bobs make over

Due to constant suspention and drive line issues Bill's getting a drivetrian make over.
The trans is getting lowered to decrease drive shaft angles. The suspension is getting leafs on the back at least . I may go traditional ford coils in the front but the links will have to be redone cause I kept pulling the steel rod ends apart.
I'm also going to upgrade the drive shafts to steel ones so I can finally run both 550's at once.
I'll post pic's as soon as the leafs get here and work begins.

That body is awesome! Are those dents from abuse or did you "install" them?

well I have to admit most of the dents are ''installed'' but all the paint and some of the dents are road rash. Something to do with the emaxx drive train I think

Looks good, now you need a scale cinder block to set it on and it will out redneck any rig out there.
