Looks cool. I like the bumpers. Is it going to be the old grill or the 4x4x4 one?

 

[clodstall]

[clodstall]

thanks guys. got somemore done today
leafs mounted,chassis drilled tapped and bolted together.















i like the stance so far. will be about 1/2 lower on chassis i think.

you might want to adjust your shackle angle to straight up and down or even more than that. cause when you have weight on it i bet they will bottom out and give no flex.

Also, if you are going for the scale look, the front shackle on the K5 is behind the axle under the doors.

Nice Chassis though, I cheated and am using a Bruiser chassis for my build.

With that ride height and the tlt tires it looks like a sand dune cruiser from the 80s! Truck looks good and I like the paint combo!

 

[clodstall]

thanks alot. thats what i like a beach truck. it will have rod and reel holder on front also.

 

[mississippirocs]

If it's a beach truck, then you gotta have a rack on the back with the cooler of beer and a surfboard hangin out the back window!

 

[clodstall]

no surf board. fishing poles. i fish not surf. grew up at the beach.
but beer yes.
