Well, I spent more money last night.

Chevy body, clodbuster fender flares (hope they work $50), proline bumpers, heyok winch control, and some Axial light bucket kits. We'll see what that turns into.

So true! . I think you'll like those flares, they're made in Europe and seem like they're pretty decent quality rubber. What's the vision for this build?

You're going to build the Chevy hard body truck I've always wanted to do.....damn you!

Drilling the holes in the body to mount the flares was nerve-racking. Them bodies ain't cheap, but it's done and in primer .

Looking forward to seeing what rolls out of your truck factory!

Tell 'em!

TF-2 upgrades? How much money you got?

Tires, #1. The kit ones are pretty small and not too grippy.

Driveshafts for sure, way too flexy. Go with Stampede shafts and keep the kit steel ends. Or upgrade to G-made/Junfac or MIP.

Check, shim and lube the diffs, I plan to get the HD ones ($35 each)

Full light kit, since you have the lightbuckets built in.

The rest is up to you.
