Hey Marz, I am not usually very fond of the frame laying scene, but your truck is looking like the exception to the rule. Hope it turns out as nice as you are working for. Good luck. :D

You know that here in CA we make a big fuss over a few drops of water so I shouldn't complain especially now that I have seen the picture that JH posted of his front yard that is covered with snow.
Thank's STOCKR for the info on the OSPHA, Guess where I'm going today after work! (ACE)
As for the color of the truck I have no idea. Any suggestions!

[censored] EH! looking tight as hell man. I had question for you....did you op to get an entire frame build on the truck for the sole purpose of laying doors?? what im am getting at is could you not just "z notch" the stock frame and lay doors aswell
You can lay doors with a Z on the stock frame but you would have to cut into the floor and have the frame stick out inside your cab. My plan was to use the stock front clip and tie it into a new rear section starting behind the rear of the front shocks, this way I wouldn't have to cut my floor for the frame stick out. See the new frame is made from 2x4x1/4 wich leaves me 1/2 inch between the top of the frame and the bottom of the cab so that means no cutting of the floor. You can lay frame with the stock frame but you still have 3 inches to go to lay doors.
