    Made this small electric panel for the back. It has 110v power for my grinders and quick connects wired to the welding power. I really like the look of solid rivets and hope to find more places to use them on the truck.

    Found this cool ammo box I cut down and will use to house a new dual compressor setup.

    Bent this 2 inch sch 40 pipe to start building off of. Connected with 1 1/2" tubing. I'm trying to make this so the things that attach to the tubing are bolt on so some day I can ditch the work gear and retool for fun. Along the bottom tubes are 2" x 1/8" flat bar so that I can drill holes for...

    Those first gen Plab B doors were horrible. The rv windows were a terrible idea. When open, the tint doubles and you cant see the mirror. Plus you can't comfortably put your arm out. Not than theres much in the way of comfort in one of these trucks. But I tried to make it nice with some seats...

    Been through several 1 ton trucks including this latest one and after using my bobbed M35A3 on some pipeline work I am convinced that military trucks are the way to go for this line of work. The civilian trucks now are $85k and up and I just don't think they are built tough enough so I use that...

    The lead reels extend out on actuators. Those ammo tubes store arc rods. The cooler rolls out to the side so I don't have to climb up to get a cold drink. Thats a 3/8" thick work table in back over the toolbox which I made to hold my tools as pictured. I put that dual compressor setup together...

    So..... I know this isn't a military truck. But I made the bed myself and it is militarily inspired. I will get to my HMMWV weld truck next so have patience with me. This is an old 24 valve Cummins I bought from a friend. It was stock and white at that time with no bed, now it is lifted on bags.

    Hey from Socal

    custom C-pillar construction, what is the radius of the bends in the corners?

    If anyone knows the angle the c-pillar leans forward, please post it. I am ready to weld now and will just go with what looks good and doesn't interfere with removing the welder if I can't find the correct angle soon. *edit* I decided to match the angle of the welder. Its not as steep as...
