Loaded pictures Somehow three photos did not load.

Free Leaf Springs (kinda) Free is correct, my buddy Denny hooked me up, but the "kinda" comment is that they are not your typical leaf springs. They came out of a mini van and I think they are fiberglass. Just one, thick band per side; however, the hangers impressively stout. Since I am going...

4 X 3" 11 gauge rectangular tubing. My worked ordered and sold me two 24 foot sticks of tubing for only 135.00! I believe that was their cost. A sweet "in"!

New Build Pictures Here is a new picture of cab with rear end behind it right about where it will go. I will have a 4' bed after I shorten and narrow it! SWEET!

Getting there! I will be coming out ahead on the money part with what I have been selling with what's left. Would be pretty cool if this build costs me only my time.
