"North of 49" Construction

February 2, 2002

Off the chassis table and on to the floor, the build continues at ride height. This was a big day for all of the crew involved in the project. Seeing :north of 49" sitting at ride height for the first time was a thrill. The truck took on a whole new character that it hadn't had while sitting up high on the chassis table.

We used our imaginations to place wheels and tires on the truck.

A piece of tape shows us the hood line in this shot.

Tires have just arrived.
25x4.5x15's up front and 26x4.5x15 for the rear.

North of 49 is destined to be a very low truck.
