The Front Fenders are hanneman Not sure which measurement you need But I did save most measurements the cab hoop and bed main hoop work out to be the same bends just longer legs . Just let me know what you need measured.

Well hav'nt done much to the truck lately. Moving on from my job of 23 years and packed up all my tools. I did manage to lose a Power Tank on the road. (Making safety Chain for New one). Found this Cool Picture on the Power Tank Info Though.

Rockdiver · « **Reply #118 on:** May 18, 2007, 10:24:01 AM »

Before & After shots and how this all got started . first was sliders and bumper, Then Fiberglass fenders,Then I added marlins front 5 " springs Then a week later a buddy called and asked if i wanted a free orbit suspention and get my truck in a buildup shoot. well after all I that I had to go all the way. I dont see an end to this madness. For Sale and Start again?
