Thanks everyone for the compliments! I spent countless hours in front if the computer tweaking the design and I am really happy with the end product!

Here are a few pics I took today as I installed. The new white & stainless rub rail. What a royal pain in the ass to do by yourself!!

Gorgeous! Your ride certainly shows the hours you put in it. I love the custom indicators! True craftsmanship right there.

Thanks man!

Gota love those duallies! My boat and my dually are both an 84. I lowered it 5/7 and bagged the rear, rebuilt the 454 and the 400 automatic. Thing runs great and tow great, only thing I wish was that it had an overdrive tranny!

Is that still your tow vehicle?

Awesome!!!

Yes it's still my tow rig. Truck is a 1989, boat 1990. Truck is 100 percent stock down to the factory single exhaust. 454 tbi th400 4.10 Dana 70. Ac blows cold and tows very well. Not a spec of rust. I'd like to paint it, lose all the tbi crap, and build a nice truck motor. Have even considered a little 177 blower for it.

I hear ya on the overdrive! I get about 8mpg towing or empty .
