Hello everyone. Sorry I’ve been slow posting. I don’t take a lot of pictures. I spent a couple weeks working to cut the bed down three feet. I used the side panels as guides and cut out 1 full section (3ft) off the front of them. I then used the hinges as guides to set the distance for the...

Hey guys. Finally got the roof frame done!!!!! Next up the roof skins. Not going to be fun but it will be the last thing to build. Woohoo!!

Thank you. We are all good after a lot of work.

Sorry for the delay everyone. We have had a tornado hit us. Not too bad it’s taken 3 weekends to get back on the rig. I got the back cab cut up and welded in. A got started bending the pieces for the cab add on. Lots of “butt scratching “ and mis bent tubing but I got it figured out now. I...

I got the rear window jamb built and placed last nite. These are not fun to build with the stock bend and the 1 in to 2 in sweep. But got the driver one in and I’ll get the pass done tonight.

Chang of plan. I used a 1x2 to set the door and window gaps. This will let me use the stock strips. Now to find replacement rubber for them. Your project is looking good!!

WOW!! Looking good!! Can’t wait to try the air ride!! But have to get longer battery cables to relocate them to the tool box.

I am using 1x3 to fill in the window frames. There is a 1/2 inch gap to make room for the window seals. The cab taper was a little tricky but looks good.

Hey guys sorry for the delay. Lots of other priorities and 1 tornado have gotten in the way. I took a day and got all of the doors squared up which involved building new stainless door pins after heating and beating the old ones out. It is easy to get the hinges bent in the press. But those...

Sorry for the delay guys. Got the last of the seats installed, pull handles, and skins complete. I will finish the caps on top of the door jambs this evening. The next step will be cutting and stretching the top. I will also be beefing up the top for a roof rack. Thanks for following.

I’ll probably make some from channel or angle and add the rubber. I’ll start that in a week or two something tells me skinning the sides is going to be tricky!!

Hey guys. It’s been a while but I finally got the doors set and welded in. I am very happy with the results. I will get the drivers jump seat in next? then skin and caps to basically make a roadster. After that we will get after the top.

Photo dump !! It took a while to get that ?!$#* door mounted and sure it’s square in all 3 dimensions. But, after redoing it 2 times it’s on there for good. Also added a jump seat behind the pass seat. Sometimes we have 30 ppl in that truck so extra kid seating is a must!!! The A B C...

WOW!!! That think looks AWESOME!!!
