Black Steel - Bobbed with a 6" Front End Lift, 4 Link Rear End on Airbags with 52s

I have been working on this project with a buddy ever since I got it from govliqudation about 5 years ago. Last weekend I uploaded all of the photos I have to Photo Bucket. I wanted to share the 4 videos and 100+ pictures I have taken along the way. I don't have any good before pictures, they all start after we took off the bed.

What we have done;
Bobbed It, cutting about 40" off the frame length.
Flipped the Rear Hubs
Designed and Fabricated a 6" lift for the Front End
Designed and Fabricated 4 Link Suspension for the Rear End
Installed Air Bags on the Rear End
Moved the Air Tanks for the 4 Link
Upgraded the Wheels and Tires (used wheel centers from BlackRockFab)
Painted all the Hidden areas Black Primer
Painted all the Final Exterior Areas Gloss Black
Powder Coated Part Army Green, Red and Yellow along the way


Next Steps,
Mount Shocks
Paint the back of the Cab Gloss Black
Prep and Paint the M105 Bed
Mount the Bed
. . . loads more work on the Cab and Front End.

I'm still looking through the pictures, but I can't get any of the videos to show on your video link you posted above.

WOW, pretty impressive fab work on that rear link setup!! Nice!

Looks really good! Are the pictures of the truck having the tires installed outside the most current?

 

[FromTheDust]

Yep, if the video links are working the one driving through the parking lot is how it is now. The bulk of the design and fabrication is complete. Mounting the shocks and bed are the last of it. Then it's just cleaning, painting and powder coating during re-assembly.



This is from last month when it emerged from the shop into public for the first time ever. My buddy took it to the local car show in Susanville CA.
