Color wise for the frame....
rattle can gloss black. I was never supposed to get fancy with the frame, and I still think it is nothing fancy. When I started this project, it supposed to be fast and simple, don't pay any attention to the things that no one will see type of thing. Then I found myself cutting off the extra crap on the frame that I was going to leave alone because no one would ever see it. I never thought I would be pulling the cab off or any of this stuff. Oh well, the finished product should look nicer now. I am still planning on driving this thing everyday, so a whole lot of chroming and powder coating isn't in the books for this truck. All the frame and suspension is all going to be rattle can painted. I am planning on having a full, stock, line X'd bed, with a hinged opening to access the hydro setup.

I really like the way you did the cylinder mounts. One thing Ive never liked about hydro setups were the cylinders sticking way up into the bed. Keep up the good work

Not to mention all the noise of the cylinder rattleing in a hole that gets eroded away over time from the cylinder traveling through it.

updates...

rear cylinders are a little stiff. They are holding the truck up with no fluid in them, and no jack stands under the rear of the truck.

The front wheels are finally done. Upper and lower arms are tacked together. 3 degrees of camber when all the way down.

Thanks to my buddy Derek for coming over on Sunday to start the hardlining. He got the returns done. They were probably going to be the hardest lines on the entire truck.

And I also got the exhaust done from the pacesetter header to the magnaflow muffler. I am not sure where I am going to exit the tailpipe. I may just put a turn down on it and call it done.
