I cant believe I missed this thread before! Ever since I put the tilt nose on my truck people have been asking about it. I'll put up a few pics, I have more if there is an interest. These pics are from last year I redid the hood etc over the winter and am almost finished, so I will wait till its done to show off the new look.
A large version of my avatar, I love the look:

same day:

at work:

wheeling:

I got lots more pics I cant wait to get pics of the finished truck this year...
I bit off a a lot this year...
I inboarded the rear shocks
rebuilt the 205
modded the fwd rail
rebuilt the TH400 transmission
Made new driveshafts
made new triple stick shifters
replaced the rad
rebuilt the engine with 11:1 pistons
converted to propane
redid the hood cutting my old one in half and adding a new (to me) front half from a school bus (still in progress)
new cable shifter for the TH400 (still in progress)
I might have it all finished tomorrow we'll see....

Cool. I think that I'm going to do my roof under the rack. If you get a chance, start a thread and let us know how and what you used.
