ill try to get a new one or two in morning as it sits now. not nearly as BA as most,but its coming along.

What is this recall you speak of? And what did you do with those "5 star" looking rims that were 1st on it?

the five star lookers were on it when i bought it and were alcoas. i hit a pothole in missouri and cracked the right front. called alcoa for a replacement and they said the wheels were recalled because they were cracking on the bead line. which is exactly where mine broke at. they replaced them at no charge with the ones on it now.

Nice!! I've really considered changing my factory alcoas to the 5 star ones. Didn't know if you still had them, if they were in decent shape, or if you wanted to sell them? But if they're recalled, then maybe not.

Thank you sir, those lights were a pain in the ass to find, spent several weeks looking for them, but im glad they turned out the way they did.
As for the projects i have a bunch of them, more then i can count, but i need something to do to keep my unemployed butt busy. kinda hurts when you need money to complete the projects, but you have no cash flow to do so lol.
to be honest, i would gladly take working 14hr days, 7 days a week for a couple of years, did that kinda stuff when I was working at ALCOA. laid off now, and wish i was still there, they paid pretty damn well.
I am not a fan of stacks, but i wanted something that would set my truck apart from the rest, my only complaint is that they are not cab level, they only stick up about 2 inches or so, but it still irritates me a bit, but overall I love the way they look and sound.

and the tires are 235/85 r16's. place in Blessing, Texas has them for 180 apiece.

I want to build a supercab short box 4x4 dually or a regular cab short box 4x4 dually.

I know the OBS regular cab short box trucks just look like OBS F-150s. So a custom dually bed would let you know it's a 3/4 // 1 ton.

Somebody photoshop us up one?
