Thanks man! Tony and Flynn at Solo are doing some really great work. I can't thank them or compliment them enough. I gave them an idea of what I wanted overall, we looked at some examples of their previous work I liked, and they took it from there. They hit the mark right on as far as what I originally wanted and have actually gone way past it at this point.

Exactly what I was thinking! Looks BA!

Thanks for the compliment, I was really blown away too when I got the pics. It's all Tony, Fynn, and Travis @ Solo. These guys do great fab work and are all super creative. They know what I like and are just running with it.

I wanted to do something a little different- basically I want a modern chassis, suspension, and drivetrain wrapped in an 89-92 body.

I've been asked why I didn't start with a newer truck, two reasons- one it's what I had and I like it and two, 89-92 is my favorite body style. The only glass that really excites me right now is the new Fiberwerx Raptor conversion, but they don't make it for 89-92's or longbeds, so we are going to stick with 89-92 glass for an old school look.

Here's some update pics. They've got it turned around and are wrapping up the backhalf, then it's on to the LS1/TH400 install. All the old holes in the firewall will get filled up, I have a new set of doors, and the roof is getting straightened out before it gets welded back on. All of that and a coat of paint will hopefully make the old 90 cab look a lot better-
