Thanks Oliver, I like to paint individual parts when I can. I think it looks better when done that way.

If I could afford to do the disk swap I would. I guess that means that collecting and fabrication will be way it will roll. Nothing new there.
Like I need more stuff to do right now anyway.
It depends how many brake components I need to replace. If I have to replace everything I'll be halfway to a disc conversion anyhow. I want to get it on the road ASAP so I don't really want to mess with a disc conversion right now.

I had RWAL on my '95 Cummins. It was useless. There was a RWAL thread on here a couple months ago where I described the problems I experienced with RWAL and why RWAL is a bad design from the start.

I think I commented on that thread about mine being extremely slow cycles.

Ridiculously fantastic, I would say... Too bad you didn't take the bed off, as it would have been so much easier..... but not any nicer looking.

Thanks Brian,
It is still on the jack stands. But it is closer. I have a couple little things to do then I will turn it around. and start on the floor.It's like eating an elephant one bite at a time.

Funny thing is my wife commented on how it looks good it that height," but it needs taller tires"

Thanks Mr. T man,
If I had an easy way to take the bed off I would have. Oh well when I get to the bodywork and paint I will take it off to get to the impossible to reach places.
