Little update. Ended up getting new wheels over winter/early spring. Got a set of Hot Rods By Boyd in a 22x8.5 and a 22x10 for the rear. Went with a deeper dish rear wheel this time. I narrowed the rear end 2.5" per side to accommodate the extra dish and had Moser make new axles to fit the...
There's a couple different ways to body drop these trucks. Most common are a traditional body drop and a stock floor. Stock floor means nothing changes with the cab. You brace and cut down the frame to get the body on the ground. With a traditional body drop you cut the cab floor and raise it up...
Tons of work done on this thing the last week! Felt good to drive it again! Body drop is 100% done, just need to finish the bed. Got my air management mounted under the bed and installed my accuair e-level finally. Just got back from Battle at the Bridge here in Alberta and placed in the top 15...
Finally made some bed mounts for this thing.. Running out of time, trying to make it to a show next weekend so won't have time to lay sheetmetal but at least I can throw on the tonneau cover for now. Seat brackets are cut and my buddy's are just wrapping up the body drop and painting my stock...

Lol thanks guys! It'll be getting traditional bd'd. Was going to stock floor it but I'm not overly tall and didn't wanna mess around with new cross members and running a fuel cell.. Etc. This way everything structure-wise on the frame remains the same from factory. My friend did a traditional on...
Been a long time coming but finally gonna body drop this thing. Pulled my bed off, plans are to do a raised floor and redo my air management. Also pulled my interior out again and sent it to a buddy's shop for the bd.
