Nice truck, what are you plans for it? I looked at your post about the tires, they do look great but you suffer on the ride. Looks like we had the same problem loading these trucks on the trailer. I like those wooden ramps you made to protect the fenders. Why didn't I think of that? Oh well, the dented fenders add character to mine.

Awesome truck. May look into putting dual steering stabilizer shocks on the front to make it drive better. It will take alot of the road walk out with the bigger tires. Also, may want to beef up the steering box mount because these trucks are prone to cracking around the bolts on the frame.

dang you need a trailer stretcher.   What are the wooden things to protect the fenders someone else was talking about. I dont see them. I was thinking of building the same thing for my trailer but out of steel.
