Nice welding job !!! Definitely will be different & cool

Welcome back Joe!

That is a very cool project!

very cool

sweet... definately going to be 1 of a kind when its done thats for sure

thanks guys its going a little slow cause i just had surgery on my knee. but once im better the build will go quick. i plan to be driving late summer.

Any updated pics Joe? I re-read the first post...... 146" wheelbase is long!

That is a very cool build.

kick a&& project good with your build and your knee

Wow! this is one awesome project!
Very cool! Let me guess......... you are welder right? :)

Awesome work!

Nice, cant wait to see the finished pic's :D

thanks guys,
finally got my drive shaft done, couple little cuts and went right in. also got the radiator and shroud on, luckily its the one thing i didn't end up selling when i parted the truck out so just saved a couple hundred using it. going to run two rods from the cab to the top to the radiator for more support. the mounts look crappy now, i still have to cut them down, grind them down, and paint them black. lot of work for those two stupid pieces of angle iron.

comin together nicely. :D

:popcorn:

Build a rat a couple years back when I was laid-off, it was a fun project, sold it for my drop top

first time on the streets! got the steering all done so did a little testing on the street. it'll come together when the doors, grill, bed and other little things go on. its definitely going to be fun turning in tight spots at car shows and such.

Very cool Joe!

How did it drive?

well i didnt exactly drive it, just got pushed as fast as i could by a forklift haha. but everything did feel good and tight.

killer looking build, will there be a hood covering the motor or no?

no it'll be all open, just a grill in the front

got the frame all painted tonight. Use a rustoleum paint called hammer black, gives it a cool old and rippled look. should be able to start assembling tomorrow night.
