That will work great, I thought you might have an oil burner in it.

Still mocked up. Some cab work done. Lots of measuring happening. Will require some custom work to make everything fit to give it as original a look as possible.

That got delayed...but should happen overnight the next week or two. Cab is now in place and rad cowl mount in process of being modified. Box is just about set....still discussing how high we want it to sit. If all goes well actual body work should be underway by end of June. Hurry up and wait I am finding...lol

Frame finally shortened. Metal arriving tomorrow so fabricating of running boards can begin. Rad cowel mount modifications about to start. Discussed design for rear bumper which these didn't have, but we think a modern touch with a step type bumper might be a good idea as this is going to be a daily driver and not a garage queen. She'll be asked to work like any other pickup.

Work progresses. Boys working on aligning clutch and brake pedals. Steering modifications just about ready to start...matter of ordering some parts. Bottom 6 or so inches of cab rear and corners about to be replaced. So much going on at once...sometimes seems like nothing happening...but it is...lol

Work slowed a bit last couple of weeks. Wrong parts arrived, weather got nice and the beer flowed. Lol. Getting back on track. Waiting for seats to arrive so final setting of steering column can take place. Getting closer to actual body work being done. But first, many components like wiper motors and heater being fit as some custom work has to be done there. Once that's done, cab can come back off.
