I have just been following the thread as I just wondered how big this guys balls were to rip every last bolt off a 70K truck with 19 miles on it LOL!!!

But since a couple people have commented on the color I believe in an earlier post it showed him mixing up the color and its a custom color, I could be wrong but I believe its custom with a TON of pearl in it.

Another update, finally some decent progress. Lot of prep work getting everything ready for paint.

Primed and ready for sanding to remove the ruff casting surface. \

We also painted the bottom of the cab black again like the last truck,

First to go back in was the sunroof, then the pillar airbags and the headliner,

The cab light and 3rd brake light also have to go in before the headliner so they were painted and installed promptly.

The cooling module, and many other modules and wiring were then installed to finish up the front.

Then it was onto painting the door handles, belt moldings and a few other things so the doors could go together.

Door handel pulls, and the xm satellite antenna,

Some of the painted parts were assembled next so we could start putting the cab back together, door handles, belt moldings, mirrors, mirror marker lights were all assembled so the doors could be assembled and hung on the cab again.

2 part epoxy sealed first, then dremeled back smooth and finished with some foam weather stripping to make sure they sealed like factory,

Very cool,

Door handles next, fairly simple but time consuming,

Now back to the cab, with the glass back, in the headliner could be installed,

The rear glass was saved but a new windshield had to be installed,

go to bed !

Now onto the axles, and frame preparations, crazyyyyy. A lot of work but it should be worth it, many cross members and brackets have been torched off to make way for air tanks and many other new pieces. The frame is looking rough right now but coming around quickly. Take a look at the axles and the frame so far,

Rear axle truss redesign, the 350 sew trucks come with a new rear axle. Just the 350 though, it is now a Dana m272 10.8'' diff, 4'' axle tubes. Pretty big,

More torching, the lower shock mounts to the rear axle tube, and a ton of prep work!

The last bit before bed time, painted a lot this weekend. Time for more assembling,

Smoothest tie rod around!

Just like the last one. Amazing. With how smooth you had those suspension pieces you could of polished them out but that blue is a show stopper. Also surprised you just left the pillars between the front and rear doors black like they came.
