You wont get a very good side to side with your rear setup though. Unless you run really stiff shocks or 2 on each side it wont take a bump on one side very well either. You might as well put one bag on the top/center of the rear end, thats how its going to handle. Just a heads up. My wife and I drove my mazda home from the reception with bows and stuff tied to it. We were going to drag some aluminum cans behind it but I didnt want to get pulled over on the way home from the wedding.  lol --------------------------------------------- this is my buddies truck hitting a side with bags on the upper bars, it gets a decent amount of lift and hits a good side, what do you think?  

looks good to me^^....

Well, it's been a week now and I spent a bunch of time cleaning and painting the motor....I'm happy with the way it turned out. Also got it mounted back in the frame which gave me a bit of mini chub....I can finally see things coming together which is a nice payoff for all the hard work I've been putting in....thanks for checkin it out!motor all cleaned up and back at home ^^^more of the same^^^rear shot of the motor and trans^^^I even had some time to start on the bottom of the cab...getting ready to plate the rockers (because I dragged the piss out of them before) and also bodywork the firewall^^^

Looks like its coming along great and really clean. Nice work bro. Can't wait to see more.

got the rockers all plated back up ^^^and undercoated the bottom of the cab^^^ I also got all the bodywork finished on the firewall and it'll be getting primed and painted within the next few days so I can drop the cab back down on the frame...can't wait!

Looks cool bro, nice and clean.

nice work been following the build for a while... question on the frame beign air tight.. what pressure you plan on running, and what kind of steel did you use? I was talking to a few people about it because when i biuld my frame i want to do an airtight back half as well but was told that running 175 in steel like that would probably burst the seam thats in square tubing.

That's awesome! My wife and I drove away from the Chapel in my Honda Civic that was on air cylinders at the time! LOL We thought the same thing... screw a limo!!!
