bibby's GMC bag build

[bibby]

I bought this truck about 2 years ago with intentions of bagging it, it's sat around my houses as i moved around with work not getting worked on. I'v now got settled in a new location and should be here for a while. Not to mention making some good money now too.

So i finally have the money to work on this. I already had valves, tank, compressor, and swithbox left over from my old bagged civic. I then needed 4link, Notch, 2 RE-7's, 2 RE-8's, Bridge kit, Rear Brackets, Front cups, & 50ft Airline. I ordered those things about a week ago, and things have since been rolling in. Some of you have also seen my carpet swap thread. If you haven't, http://www.gmt400.com/forum/showthread.php?581-Vinyl-to-carpet-swap-(pics). Since i cant weld, my dad is coming out the week of the 14th to help me install this, and weld everything up.

Here's some progress pics of the truck...

Coupe updates...
HID's & Window tint.

I inadvertently ordered HID's for the truck. I was trying to order high beams for my civic. Who would known the high beams are a different size than the lows. Anyway, they fit the truck.

I also got the windows tinted. 5% on the sides and rear, 35% on the windshield.

I got my KP 4 link in today. It looks real solid. I'm going to be putting it on at somepoint this weekend before my dad comes out next week to notch the frame and weld for me. I only have 2 things left. My front bags which will be here tomorrow, and my panhard bar which will be here thursday.
