She's Alive N Driven!!

Hello Everyone, it's been awhile, but here's the latest pics of the "FrankenMerc"
Yesterday She ran and drove for the first time, everything worked Beautifully, and
I'm a Happy Happy Boy!!!

Next step, paint the box, the bodywork is done and it's ready to paint.
In these pics, we set the box on the truck to see how everything lines up,
I put a 3 inch body lift on the truck.

Hope to have more pics sooner than later!

now that's a good-looking truck! I can already see the finished product in my head. so glad that you have the oem wheels. some things just look right.

Re: She's Alive N Driven!!

Thanks, I really like the OEM Look, I have 2 sets of wheels, the Factory steel wheels that are on the truck now, and I also have the white spoke wheels like the ones in this picture. I haven't decided which ones I'm gonna go with yet.

both fit the truck perfectly. but i must admit to a bias. the ones in the old pic are the wheels I use on almost every truck I build.
