Well now don't be shy haha.
What's your plans?

Full resto. mild motor build...intercooler, t4, etc. Full paint and body work, Dodge Spicer rear swap for equal width and disk brakes. And some custom touches here and there. I'll be starting a build thread on here soon.
Here's a little sneak peek

Looks like a nice clean start.

 

[gansett7three]

Getting there. Slowly but surely

Nice.
Length of trac bars?

 

[mf2775guy]

About 6'...give or take alittle bit. I need to remake my rear brackets but they work for now.

A few of my CCSB. I haven't posted any pics here since I swapped in a D60 and RSK over the summer. Its been about 6 months on the new setup and I love it. Truck is at 143k miles now.

That is what I call improving on the classic styling. Awesome. What size tires?

Thank you! These trucks were sharp from the showroom floor!
The tires are 315/75/16 Terragrapplers.

 

[Nodge]

That's awesome. I'd love to rsk my 2 obs trucks, but I don't think they would fit in the garage door.
Nicely done!

 

[97Beast]

Thank you! I'd love to have a garage for the truck.lol Maybe someday..
I went with the PMF kit and U code springs to try to get it as low as possible. It isnt too tall for me, but I wouldnt want it any higher.

97Beast beauties truck! What springs in the rear or did I miss that? Did you install the antisway bars too? Looks like in the last picture it's sitting more level did you add more block(s)?

[97Beast]

Thanks JCart! The rear springs are still the originals. I did add a 4" block to replace the stock block. All the pictures are with the 4" block. I think the slope of the parking lot makes the truck look nose high. But the truck is practically level, if not a slight rake in the back. The front has a sway bar. Definitely a must in my opinion with SD springs. I'd like to find a rear sway bar someday as well.

I sent you a pm on either here or the other site.

hows the ride with the stock rear springs?

 

[97Beast]

PM replied.

The ride of the stock rear springs is decent in my opinion. I dont know what I'm missing out with however by not having SD springs in the back.lol
Before when I had the TTB I thought my rear springs were soft in comparison to the front. But now with SD front springs its a different story. Someday I may change the rear setup, but for now it does well.

Anyone ever install 08+ mirrors on an OBS?

Anyone ever install 08+ mirrors on an OBS?

They're ugly as hell on super duties, and would look worse on an obs. Might as well just buy some dodge flip out tow mirrors

I want to say I have seen it somewhere. I have thought about it I love 08 mirrors.

Don't see the correlation to Dodge's flip out mirrors what so ever. Personally, my favorite mod on my 01'. HUGE difference.

 

[Crownsville Stroker 7.3]

I don't get it either the dodge mirrors suck. As for the 08+ SD mirrors I haven't seen it done but someone on here has 07+ duramax mirrors and that doesn't look to bad if you ask me
