okay truck looks good bro but have some pointers.
! with your upper arms that you welded up to get your angle re-enforce it wit some plate over your welds.
2 re-do your mount for your air tank, put a piece of 1x1 tubing behind your step notch and the take the bar mounts you made and weld them across then you will have one drain plug down wards to drain your tank and your lines for your valves will not be up against your bed floor bro.
I do like the work alot but just pinting out a few things that may cause you grief down the road.
Oh one more thing and this is just what I like to do to make life easier for you,the gas tank mount it from underneath because if you have nay problems with your gas tank it is way easy to drop out of the truck than removing the bed especially if you are on the road some where traveling and do not have the tools or place to remove everything.
just my thoughts bro and as I said not dissing anything you are doing I think the work is great.

thanks guys, my plan to drain the tank was to put another bung in the bottom and tig weld it in, i also need to save myself some room for shocks behind the notch or in front of it. as for ther gas tank i plan on having an access pannel in the bed floor so i can easly get to the gas tank if needed, i really dont want it any closer to the ground than it already is. i have been super busy the last month, i finally got married last weekend so the truck was put on the back burner for a little while, now i need to get rolling on it so i can start driving and dragging this dam thing!!!
