Well ladies and gents... The torch has been passed on. I have recently aquired Mr. Ice's truck. I am picking up where the master fabricator has left off.
For those of you who dont know the truck. Here is an old picture.

Quote from Joan Cleaver," Ward, you wre a little hard on the beaver last night." :thumb:
haha... Yeah i got to meet Mr Mechanic ... very cool guy.... had few IN guys here this weekend as well... OG Brian , doughboy... we ... wait.. they had a little party, while i was working :( .. haha... but it was all fun...
i was hestiant on letting the truck go, due to most of the shit was done over 10 years (around 1996) ago , when me and my buddy just first started welding on frames... so theres some not soo pretty welds and shit i dont do now more... but Eddie is gonna fix all of it and set the truck straight... i did re-bag the front for him though and took off the old firestone airbages from 1996 and put slams under it....
im waiting with excitement to see him finish it or at least one color!!! haha

Looks good bro!
So since you have this HB that's bagged, does it hinder your thoughts of bagging your other HB? Innissance II makes me think roadster, maybe 4 link with coilover's low and agressive stance. But its just what pops in my head.
I have to say, I love the style in the paint job, and I hate to see it go, if you don't plan on saving it.
How does it feel to own the truck of a leader in the mini trucking field?
Congrats man! Keep up the great work!

I can get the parts here for about 50 bucks. then have my spindles machined at the shop that did my last set. but thanks for the info. the big hold up is that i have to reconfigure the whole rear suspension for the new axle. Thats why it will be going back to Ice next winter for the rear suspension update.
