Default Wat it dew...

What's up Dodgeforum...my names Jerry but most people in the truck scene know me as BIG...I roll with the one and only Aftermath, Tx..."Club of the Year: 2009"...I run a small shop on the side out of my garage...so far i've had 3 trucks featured including my own. I have a 2002 Dodge Ram Quad Cab...The truck has been bodied to the doors on 24's with a 295/35/24...Its fully shaved...sheetmetal bed...full skin...06 Frt sheetmetal. The truck has a full one-off frame under it...I built the truck from the ground up in my 2 car garage. Its recently been feature in Crime Pays Video: The Has Beens and Streettrucks Magazine Jan 2010 issue. The truck isn't even close to being done...as we speak it is on jackstands...getting alot more sheetmetal work...a 12v cummins out of a 95 3500...Intro Billet 26's...and a full sheetmetal Interior. It will not only be a cover truck...but a daily driver and a tow pig. I put 20k miles on it this year driving to shows. If you have any questions feel free to ask away...here's my beast.

IDK how many hours is into the truck....but its alot. Luckily I do it all myyself so I don't have to pay an hourly rate. When i do the swap I'm getting rid of all the wiring. I have a universal fuse box to run the electronics I need...everything else will be gone. The Cummins is roughly a 5 wire hook up...i'm runnin a auto tranny out of a 92...which doesn't have a computer. I'm also ditching the steering column for a full billet Ididit steering column. Ignitition will be on the sheetmetal dash....along with some old school ***** for the wiper and headlights.
