Good Gawd almighty... You might at least warn a fella before posting neon green cage photos. It's 2AM here, I'm sitting in a dark room, and just about burned my retinas out when those pics scrolled up on the screen.

Looking good though (what I can see through the tears)...

DETAILS? Where do i start, if you didnt notice its a chevy with a ford engine, but before you flame me the truck and engine was here from differant projects, both paid for. the engine is a 521 ci, w/eagle crank and rods, je 9.5 to 1 pistons, renegade aluminum heads, and a 871 little field blower is in the mail. it should make a little over 1000 hp.
the axles are stock 2.5 ton for now, we will just have to wait and see how money goes before they get upgraded.
Shocks are supposed to be in the mail but thats what they told me for 3 months, top of the line fox. 1 coil over and 1 bypass shock at each corner, hopefully the truck can be jumped 10 to 15 feet in the air again and again, or thats the plan.
If you like the work so for i would love to do some work for you, i'm about 60 miles south of st. louis and i work fairly cheap compared to other shops. and I love doing tube work if you couldn't tell. check out myspace.com/tds to see a couple of other trucks i've done.

looks like ya got a lil time in fab, looks **** good tho good luck

looks like about 150 lbs of welding rods to me. that is one massive cage you have there. the bulldawg gears are awesome and should serve you well. seems that you have alot into this truck and have alot of thought into this. this feature alone puts you far ahead of the curve. my congrats on your accomplishments so far.
you will have to remind me as to what kind of feedback you are lookin for. accept for it being a half breed, just messin with ya, it looks fine to me. just anxious to see how this project progresses.

Definitely looks like a Digger spin off with the green and black!

Nice work! I envy your mad skills!

Always wished I got into vehicle mod and mechanics instead of construction!

ESPECIALLY in this economy!
