My visual tape measure thru pics tells me it meets rules for NADM 3.2, PPL 3.0, NADM Pro Mod, NTPA Mod, all meeting the guidelines with an inch to spare. Leaving all options open on undecided mind.

All except for the cut tires. But damn they look sweet. If I could afford cut tires I would for sure buy them and run with mods and get my arse handed to me. But the price of those tires and wheels are not pretty!!

torque converter bolts came loose
 
I had a Profab on order and was not thinking it was going to be done in time for when we where looking to bring the truck out but Larry is finishing up our setup and should be ready in a couple weeks so dont need the other one. I got enough cash stuck into this thing any parts laying around when all done will be for sale for sure.

The truck is a 158" wheel base. Ran into a little set back today but nothing major. Shooting for middle of Aug with fingers crossed.
