The Building of Big Frank!!!

Used front springs for the bob. Rerouting the exhaust really made a big difference with noise. The symbol is my company logo.

Thank you!
It is a very nice refab job.
Please post more pictures as you go.
any lift for the suspension?

 

[copperhead10]

Here is a close up of the rear springs, I didn't add any lift or extra suspension. Just shortened the frame and relocated everything including the bed mounts. Here is a shot of the exhaust from under the truck as well.

I ordered the axels with disc brakes from Differential Engineering out of Florida and he was awesome to deal with. Top notch product and service.

Next on the agenda is sound proofing the cab with lizard skin.

Just ordered some more goodies as well (air conditioner, led head lights, rock lights)

More pics to follow!

Nice work, going to be a good looking truck. Any change to the headlight mounts?

Your exhaust is not "Haspin proof", we tend to bend the steps. If you off road it, be careful of high centering.

I think I would tuck the exhaust up to the level of the transfer case.
Just to be safe.

Dash out, 3 coats of lizard skin applied and now to reassemble.

Very nice job. Could you share how you went about prepping and painting your frame. Did you blast or dissemble anything. What paint did you use? This is on my to do list and yours looks very good.

Also, the AC looks great. Would you share what model you used?

Thanks.
