Who did you get your shackle hangers from, or did you fab them up yourself?

keep up the good work! im looking forward to seeing the finished product, should be great!

Looks like a clean build. 2 things, clean the weld area on the tubes before welding, it will make it stronger and the welds will look cleaner. The A frame in the windshield could be wider. Glad to see someone step up with a newer v8 truck should be interesting to watch in the class.

Thanks guys! Ya I from now on have been cleaning the weld surfaces haha little things right? I appreciate all the complements.
