Ive been seeing alot of people's trucks on here lately and I realized that I have never posted any of mine. There is one catch to it this. I have had my truck for so long, and it has been apart for so long that I have no digital pictures of it in one piece. All of the ones that I have right now are of it after I took it apart and did a whole lot of sanding. There are some enormous amounts of sheetmetal work. Since these pics the motor has been taken out and the frame has been completely dissassembled and sandblasted by myself. Ill get some soon of my fixed bed and clean frame.

Yeah right now its more like a bunch of scatter parts off the same truck. The cab has acutually been done for some time now, I just cant find the pictures of it. The bed was finished over the holiday and I forgot to take pictures of it.

Now, Ive got to do all my suspension work and fab on my frame.

When do you hope to be back on the road?? As we all know the xtra work always makes the difference, looks like you have done very well.

If all goes well, I hope to piece it back together before this time next year. Ive still got alot of work to be done. Ive got alot of ideas in my head that Ive never seen done on a truck like this that I want to try out. Then I figure it will be totally 100% done within the next 2 or 3 years. This all depends if I can get a job when I graduate college here next week.

UPDATE

Got the majority of my sheetmetal work done on my bedsides. I forgot to take any pics of it when I had it together

but, I got bored today and went and took some with it apart. Its still got some things to do but its alot closer.

Also there are some more pics of my cab. Its pretty much done sheet metal wise. Like the bedsides its got some fine tuning to do.
