How has it held up so far? I'm thinking of either doing what you did or just painting it satin black.

The truck hasn't left the garage since I did it, It isn't running yet, hopefully will be in the next few weeks.

Ya me too, I haven't driven my truck in a year. Im excited to hopefully drive it again soon.

We installed the speakers this weekend and finished up some more odds and ends stuff in the interior. I also ordered skyjacker lift leafs tonight to get rid of my 4 inch blocks in the rear and hopefully rid me of my axle wrap issue. Also ordered black lightning headlights and depo fogs tonight so next weekend I will put my front end back together and work on some of the small remaining things on the engine.

Hopefully I have my truck by sometime in the next couple months. I need to get my truck lifted still and would like to get parts of it powder coated. Might have to have a MN / ND meet!

Awesome build man! Can't wait to see you get it finished and out on the road.
Also what kind of bike is that? I started getting my vs1400 ready for the road this weekend, it's above 30 and sunny today, I figure that's just about close enough to riding weather over here in MN haha
