generally typing in all capitals is not favored on online forums

as for pics, you cannot post directly to the site as you are a new member and musth ave a certain number of psots before using the sites server (this measure was to prevent spammers/scammers), however you can image tab them if you have them hosted online in a www.photobucket.com or similar account

you are close! so close to getting the pics!

I can feel for you having no arms....I had both of mine reconstructed and was essentially without working arms for a couple years...doing much better now ..but yea, i know the feelings of hopelessness and despair you have most likely experienced. There is a guy on Pirate that is in a wheelchair and built a rig. Building my rig has been a challenge too but there are ways to work thru the pain and problems. good luck and may god bless you

[armless71]

Heres me and my pit crew ,hes good with a welder and 2x4...look ma no hands..


east coast wheelin is gettin tough,nowhere to go..lots a mud here in florida..

[DTB]

damn! thats impressive..nice rig..u must have some nice friends too to help out!   

[armless71]

thru this accident i was able to afford someone to work for me,kinda be my arms.hes a good friend.helps alot.plus i have alot good friends.keeps me sane and outside playin.

[DTB]

ok, another question....how do you drive it?

[armless71]

I  drive with my left foot, brake and gas with right foot.Heres my daily driver..

[armless71]

Has anyone used a Budbilt crossmember ,if so do u like it..I dont really feel like building one and his looks sweet..anyone from florida on this forum ,be nice to ride or shoot the bull sometime.

[Shoyrtt]

What are you running for a bed on the 100? It looks like a flat bed from this picture?


As for springs, in your first post you were saying they are too flexy Deaver makes some nice custom springs for heavier rigs. Great looking truck and welcome to the board.

I haven't heard any complaints with the Budbuilt (I have the Marlin). I believe you can run a near flatbelly with the Budbuilt.

As for Floridians, the Willy Mammoths are our most famous contributors. Here is a link to their build so you can PM them.

If you don't mind me asking,how did you loose your arms?.Seeing your thread makes me realize how lucky we all are and how lucky you are to have a wonderful family and friends,just curious also as to how you type and have great punctuation.Again,feel free to tell me it's none of my buissness.
