Bagged and bodied 99 c3500 build

I've been biting my tongue, but I'll say it. Those look really heavy. I'd use three pieces of 2" tubing, weld a plate inside them, and then cut lightening holes in the plate.

It's a crew cab dually. She's a heavy hitter regardless!

That looks awesome. Like a medieval suit of armour or some shìt!
Are you leaving parts raw or powder coating?

Probably paint for now until I find a reliable powder coating place.

Say whats on your mind, feedback, good or bad is why im here. They are a bit heavy. Not sure if it's too heavy or not.

Haven't really decided yet. I think at some point the truck will be a battleship grey but also kicking around the idea of frame being gloss black and all if the suspension parts being satin black. It won't be anything too crazy one way or the other

Anyone running smaller bucket seats in these trucks? I'd like a low back seat that I can mount low to the floor. My original idea was from late 80s early 90s civic with headrests removed but those are proving to be hard to find.

88-98 Bucket seat alternatives

Figured I'd post this here for those who may have not seen it elsewhere. Several others have performed this as well. Some may like them, some don't, but this is an easy swap that can be performed in an afternoon. '88-98 manual seat bases bench and bucket, are comprised of of the same...
