Nice update!
What wheels r u going with?

what rear end are you using? is it like the one on "the show"? the crazy indendant ford 9" with rotors inside the frame?

I'm going with bonspeed rodders, 24" in front, and 26" out back. We're doing something similiar to what he did w/ "the show" but instead of having that bar over the top of the rear end, he's going to make it sorta "float there" with link bars instead of attaching it to the frame. It seems crazy, but should be sick!

Also, brakes are gonna be in the standard spot, however, where the brakes are on "the show", we'll have coil-over shocks and springs. I won't be running accumulators on this at all, so the hydraulic cylinders will stay stationary when not raising and lowering the truck.
