I got my cab back from the blaster last weekend. Slipped it up on the frame and set the radiator support and one front fender on to see what it might look like someday.
My main curiosity was the results of the front end lowering I had done. This truck has 2 1/2 - 3 inch Durant Enterprise mono leaf springs and a 2 1/2 inch drop in the front axle from Mor-drop in California.
Here are a couple pictures:

But I really like it. The rear of the truck is also using Durant monoleaf springs and 2 inch lowering blocks. Could be lower but not this time around.
Thanks for looking.
