You sure? I really don't think he does. I'm not 100% positive but I am pretty sure he doesn't.

Well I am not 100% eather but u can see where the shocks connect to the back axel is at stock points whats the chances that 1ton's have the same spot? Yes he can weld his own is possable. Almost all 1 tons have the disk brake in the center that does not. Also looks stock by the size etc etc. Also take a pick of a truck with 1 tons and compare it to this. Just my 50 cents.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have the stock axles due to the fact that for the longest time that was an example of a truck built right. The ones with the disk brake in the center I've seen have all been 2.5 ton Rockwells with a pinion brake on them. Those I think just look soo small due to the fact of the tire size.

I agree the Top Gun truck is all about show. I like it though. I gave up the mudding after I got rid of my Nissan. mudding = breakage I may get a play truck again one day, but it certainly won't be my Ram

I agree... but its a great "looking" truck.

I like a stocker.

Extremely overdone in my opinion. Even for a show truck, I just don't see a reason to be spending that kind of time and $$ on something like that. I personally really don't like the look when it's obviously overdone either. I like heavy amounts of mods that could be confused for coming from the factory.
