Get ready, King Of Trucks is coming...

Kick Ass!!!!!!!!!

How does it ride?

 

Awesome Terd!!! Glad you got everything all figured out! What did you end up using?

 

The stock shocks are the biggest detractor as far as ride goes in the rear. I went down six inches back there and the stock shocks are fully compressed at ride height. I'll need some new ones for sure. I'm also on the bumpstops on bumps (but not stationary).Trimming those or using new poly ones will give me about three inches of travel. That with new shocks in the back should have the rear good to go. But it rides ok for now. Wait till you see pics, it looks killer!

I'm waiting to do the same type stuff in the front after I get the drop axle in the next couple of months (fingers crossed).

Thanks again for those springs!

Jeremy had some bushings that were close enough to work. Thank goodness! It looks waaaaay lower in person than that pic suggests. The jack barely goes under the rear bumper, lol. Too bad you couldn't stick around to see the finished product. I finally finished up just before 10.

 

Truck looks good...very interesting read!

 

Hahahaha! It's funny, I had twenty some odd pages and I haven't felt like I've really accomplished anything til tonight. I've done a lot, but not really anything that shows on the outside. Thanks for the kind words! It keeps me going.

 

Damn you.

After seeing that picture I want to get out there and lower mine more.
Looks f-ing killer.

Can't wait to see the outside in the sun money shot!

Fuck Yeah Terd!!!!

Now you're cook'n with gas!!! Sum Bitch is looking sweet.

I dig it....

 

Joe,

Thanks a ton! By the time I finished last night, it was dark. So I haven't seen it in the daylight yet either! I can't wait...

Thanks Robert! I am super stoked. Having it lowered has given me new inspiration. As far as I'm concerned, no mod makes as big an impact as lowering.

 

Here's a decent one...

 

Side shot please.

 

Here's some more...


Here's a good side shot that gives you a good idea just how low the rear is...










Who likes that Hank Williams song "Lonely Tomb"? I know I do.


I was strollin' one day through a lonely graveyard when a voice from the tomb seemed to say...



...I once lived as you live. Walked and talked as you talked. But from earth I was soon called away...




...All those tombs, lonely tombs, seemed to say in a low gentle tone...Oh how sweet is the rest in our beautiful heavenly home...




One day, I'll have one of these...and so will you. Live now, enjoy life, spend time with your family, do something you love...



Love,

Truck looks fucking Killer Terd!!!! Holy shit dude I love it!! That extra inch or two up front (did you say another 3-4?) and the stance will be spot on brother!!! I think you're on you way now!!! I can't wait to see what this fire under your ass brings out in your truck. Incredible dude, I am super proud of ya!

 

Love the hat.... Outstanding Dude.... Just like JJ I'm proud of ya as well....

Hugs and Kisses,

Roberto

 

Yeah!

- Joe

 

If it was only that easy!!! That does look snappy for sure!

 

Looks like a booger.

 

Are you saying it's slicker then snot? Hahaha!!! I was trying to give off a dusty gold color for Terd.

 

Hey - I like the way the truck sits now. Doesn't need a dropped axle at all.
Well done Terd!

 

That's what I was telling him. You just can talk to these youngin's!!!

 

Thanks a bunch! Seeing it lowered has kind of lit a fire. A fire of excitement! Seriously, I'm super stoked how it turned out. Thanks!

Thanks brother! All your hard work keeps me inspired!

Hells yeah!

I dig the stance and the chrome wheels. The color looks a little funny, kind of yellow. I appreciate the effort though! I see in my head the same dusty gold you're thinking of.

Thanks for the kind words! After seeing it in the pics, I may be starting to waiver on the drop axle. I think I may be starting to like it better in my shots vs. Jeffy's photoshopped rake.

Hahaha! You're calling me a youngerns. I'm old enough to be your cool uncle.

 

Fuck even if it was Yellow it would be rad. Think of RYAN's yeall station wagon with the chrome wheels. Huh huh.......that would be killer!!!!

Yellow's the new gold!

 

This color:

 

Killer!

Damn it Terd you don't mess around do ya... You got that thing low and lookin freakin sweet!!! What a difference that makes, your 4x4 days are definitely over man! Nice work, will it make an appearance at the Heavy Rebel next month? If so I'll see ya there....

SanDiegoJoe you got any more pics or info on that truck? I want that front bumper for my 51!! Yea that color would look good on Terd's Truck for sho!

Rob

 

fergy, I can't tell you how proud you make me

truck looks a billion times better, now we just need to get them steelies chromed

it was rad to see you pull out the other night all low and loud!!!

lets get them belly burners hooked up!

 

I'm pretty sure I can speak for Jeffy, that's what we had in mind when we were talking about a dusty gold. That color is sex! Do you have any more pics of that truck? Thanks Joe!

Thanks Ron!

Thanks Rob! I don't know if I'll make heavy rebel or not. I'd sure like to. It depends mostly on my daughter's cheerleading camp and practice schedule. It's being worked out now.

Thanks cousin! I think I've mentioned a couple of times, but I'm super stoked. It's finally got the sound and the stance. Even though I'd done plenty of work before this, I never really felt like I've made any big changes. Not any more. I'm kind of starting to debate in my mind whether or not I need a drop axle after seeing these pics. And for the belly burner, I'm ready! The chrome wheels might take a while, that costs money, lol.

 

Here it is Big... If you go through the Santa Maria coverage that is posted on the HAMB you will find more shots.

I've always loved this color gold too...





This is George Poteet's awesome 1940 Ford pickup painted with Dupont's Hot Hues Sierra Gold. I dig it.

 

terd, love your thread man. you are inspiring me to hopefully soon lower my 57 a little more.
keep up the great work and detailed posts.
