    215Dave, Thanks for the good comments, the more I look at it the more I like it. Yes last week was great, 43 years of marriage is a super milestone these days ( My poor Wife, don't know how she put up with me that long). Again Thanks

    My new 932A1 Acquisition and Conversion to 925A1 short bed.

    Scar59, The tail lights were swaped and lowered due to pintel hitch brackets for hitch, I used rod couplings to lower the lights so I did not have to cut the reflectors off not that it would be problem just more work. I really like the lights due to them being further from the center. I was...

    My new 932A1 Acquisition and Conversion to 925A1 short bed.

    Finisher the receiver hitch today, still need some paint and relocation of tail lights and a air line. The vertical plates are 5/8" the tube on the horizontal is 4"x4"x1/4", the receiver itself was a hitch I had laying around and that beats the tractor supply price of 30 bucks for a piece 12"s...

    M-925A1 Civy hitch

    I see the same problem! If the main shaft was longer and a longer gusset was attached down to where the receiver is welded would make much stronger hitch. Great idea and looks good don't think it will hold up to a heavy load during a sudden stop!

    paint job

    Great work! Are you going to do the whole truck or just the cab? If I had a shop that size I would be in Hogs heaven.

    Reducible Height?

    The exhaust would be the tallest part of the truck and if they do not have super singles removing the exhaust should do it. I put a A3 and a 817 on my trailer and was fine height wise but had to put the trucks just right on the trailer to get the weight limit correct since I am pulling with a...

    rrr, I followed your build and followed your advise on leaving the duel axels, I did many of the same things to my build and I will do more in the future. I still have a long way to go. Where did you get the plastic coat? I put some undercoat under the bed where I welded it and I had to use a...

    If you are going to keep the truck, I would find a 900 series bed they look so much better and the bows and tarps are easier to find I believe.

    swiss, MothersanM1, Thanks for looking. I should have stated either way they will be painted 383 green and the quarter fender would have rubber flaps hanging down, I think I will make them longer than original I like the longer look and function of the extra long flap. If I go with the quarter...
