I have some 6.5 over beams, camburg radius arms, giant engine cage,foa coilover and saw 14" bypass ft, deaver 62 pack, 16" saw double bypass for rear, 12 shackles, f150 8.8 rear end 4:56 gears, fiberwerx 7" over rear glass, cerullo bench rear seat buckets front. I am not sure about the cage yet. I know there is a couple more things that I am forgetting but this gives you a good idea.

**wtwcowboy** · 07-02-2009, 10:09 AM

Dang! You have all that now you just need to put it on? Thats pretty cool man, cant wait to watch this thing.

**Good Knight Racing** · 07-02-2009, 10:39 AM

Yep all those parts plus I need to get them on. I am building three trucks and the parts are taking over any work area.

**Good Knight Racing** · 07-05-2009, 12:52 PM

Radius arm mounted but needs some paint

**joelneph** · 07-05-2009, 12:54 PM

nice! i am stoked to see this build thread! i need a third job to get mine done!!!!

**joelneph** · 07-05-2009, 01:00 PM

can the rear doors be made to still be operable with the 7" glass? i know perry's 4" rear panels can still be operable, but i want to get the big glass works stuff

**Good Knight Racing** · 07-05-2009, 02:13 PM

They can it just going to take some work if you are not going to do a wide rear end get the fours these pictures do it no justice it is super wide in the back with the stock rear end under it.

**fleshwound** · 07-05-2009, 02:32 PM

super super wide looking

**exploder21** · 07-05-2009, 05:35 PM

the 7" glass is made to run a full size rear end and still tuck nicely while also allowing the rear end to be pulled back a little if you decide to link it.

not meant for a stock expo rear end, so that f-150 rear end is a good choice

**joelneph** · 07-05-2009, 09:28 PM

ya that's i figured. eventually i plan on running a full size rear end, but i want to get glass first....and i don't want to do it twice. i may get some wheel spacers to help fill em up a bit until i do my rear end. anyhow...looks good man, and i can't wait to see more. (i wasn't trying to hijack your thread, i am just pumped to see another expo in the works)

**JBWeldfan** · 08-03-2009, 06:37 AM

Hey can you post up some more pics and is that the 7in flare rear glass from fiberwerx or the 4?

**joelneph** · 08-03-2009, 11:54 AM

**jeepspeed** · 08-12-2009, 02:56 PM

im interested as well.
i saw it in person when i picked up the front glass.

**Good Knight Racing** · 08-13-2009, 10:39 AM
