Well, no pictures yet, but I started mounting the fenders...they aren't going to line up real perfect, but it looks like they will fit...no other truck will look like mine, that's for sure!

Well, in the interest of keeping updated, I made progress this weekend.  I only regret that I did not have the camera handy for pics  :( . 
Got the frame plate made and mounted with the steering box.  Can't get the damn old pitman arm off of the box so I am gonna have to take it to a shop and have it pressed off.  Rear brake hose went on as well as front u-bolt flip kit, and the drivers side fender is now fully mounted and awaiting paint.
I just clicked on a SICK TURTLE and that sucks.
Welder should arrive this week, so I will be permanently mounting the brace next weekend.  Will hopefully have pictures of all this.  Also removed a leaf from old rear pack and got it painted up all nice.  I have decided to add it to the rear, the springs back there are so friggin soft I can push down on the bumper and nearly get it to full compression.

Twas a glorious scene of butchery and debauchery, we hacked and ground, drilled and filed, pused and pulled, until finaly...THE FENDERS FIT...sort of.
What can I say, they weren't meant for a Toyota...but they are on.

And I just have to say that Rustoleum HammerTone paint is awesome...no primer needed, three coats, nice and even, heavy paint, little overspray, very durable.

Truck looks great, but I'm not a fan of the front fenders.  Can't explain it, sort of a similar feeling to a testdrive that I had in a toyota truck with a 383 Chevy...awesome but something wrong.  I love the drivetrain work!
