R2J: Its pretty much a standard frame railed chassis, I'll have the body off shots tomorrow

Baddclod: an Exo would be sweet. One thing im still working on are the rock sliders, I should have them on by tomorrow.

An Exo would look sweet. But they don't slid on rocks that great. If you do an exo I would just do the fenders and tie them into the bumbers.

Here's a body off shot. I hate the TLT shocks, Just curious for any one who has the F:350 are there shocks any better then TLT's?

I still have some things to do like, finish narrowing the wheels, paint the chassis and a few other odds and ends.

onto the pics.

I like the shocks on the f-350, I think they feel/work real nice for what they are. I mean if your building a comp truck then I wouldnt use them but for a scaler I think they are nice... just my 2cents
