Yes it is Troy.
Thanks guys, I've been at it for over 5 years now. I probably have at least that many more to go before it'll be on the road.

Not really much to show right now. It's just a pile of parts stored away.

Here's a picture from a couple years back when I was mocking up the body on a shortened 84 F250 4x4 chassis.



I've changed directions so many times on this build I'm still dizzy! As of now I'm going to be mounting the body on a 78 F150 4x4 chassis and I'm also stretching the cab into an extended cab with suicide rear doors.

It's not going to be a show truck. I'm building it to be my year round daily driver and possibly do some plowing with it in the winter ( if we ever get any snow ) .

Here's a pic of some of the floor work I've done so far. Again far from show truck quality but it's all done by me.




I've got a build thread posted in the projects forum.

I like your direction. There is the RI chapter leader, dynamic (name Tom) doing a crew cab build of one also

I don't know if you could call what I'm doing good work.

Thanks. I've been following Tom's build. Mine won't be stretched quite as much as Tom's.

Here's close to what I'm planning on mine.

That will be cool. I personally like the full back but yours will be neat. Especially on the 4x4 frame

Ted, I lined my truck myself. It is not as thick as Rino or others but works well for a shade tree guy like myself.
