Could you post some other shots of the frame from other angles? Side and 3/4 shots would be especially useful. I've see cab off shot, bed off shots, and frame-only shots, but I can't recall ever before seeing the full truck without the body.
It would be a great help to us bench racers who are always dreaming up some cool new suspension or frame mod.

Looks like you are making great progress, keep sending those pics 
Can't wait for the sandblasting photos cause I use to have a sandblasting business and all I did was automotive stuff, still miss it!

Reason for a new fuel tank is not that it needs one. But the main reason is because i would like to run my drivers side exhaust on the left side of the driveshaft. To keep it symetrical. i like thigs to be even on both sides. Call me crazy and it a waste of money.. but thats how i like it.
Im debating about putting a smaller fuel cell in its place. or putting it between the frame rails in the back. But if i put air tanks on. i could mount them back between the frame rails in the same place.
ah.. decesions decesions.

Man, that is cool as ***t! I have never seen one torn down like that. Tell me you didn't do this just to find one of those mysterious squeaks that these trucks seem to hide? 
Good luck man, if you need a good powder coater, email me your location. I am part of a nationwide netowrk of PC'ers in the US. I can find someone if your looking. If they do sucky work, I won't recommend them. Most of them do excellent work though.
