John,

Is it just me or is your truck starting to get closer to completion?

That is one sweet looking truck. I know you put a lot of thought into it, with do overs and evolution being what it is.

Can't wait to see some more parts installed, so you better get at it !

Pretty soon you won't have anything to do but drive it. No more vroom vroom noises while sitting in the shop.

 

slowly but surely, Tom. Anxious, but I gotta take my time and do it right..you know how working alone is. Bed comes next then I'll start on the interior stuff probably.. lot's left to do put it's all pre fitted and should go pretty quickly... it's getting more fun... vvvrrrooommm

John

 

This little piece of hardware I welded up made placing the box real easy..

 

I like that john... had planned on using cherry picker and chains or straps. got any detail pics on hooks ??

 

The hooks were just pieces of angle iron I had and I glued rubber to them, the hoops are 3/8" rod also from left overs. I could go and take a picture if you need it..

 

another chip..... one more by myself chore today... just sitting on the frame.... line up and bolt down tomorrow

 

Looking more like a truck all the time John, I put a few chips in mine too but have even more now that it's been up and down the highway over road construction..but it won't stop me from driving it..

 

Mine is a road warrior now with minor scratches, and chips.

I've resigned myself to the fact . it will never look as good as the day I started assembly

 

oops guys, sorry... the 'chip' I'm referring to is me chipping away at the job, not the paint... still holding at one scratch on the firewall behind the block.

 

John, I knew what you meant, keep plugging away and you will be doing burnouts in no time.

 

Try and keep the chips to a minimum John, the rest come naturally...

 

so today..... built me a little helper and got the fenders installed
then on to the running boards... some shimmin' needed here

then the painter called and said come get these dang boards out of my way

still stackin..... a rather productive day

john

 

Wow, that’s some great work John. That will be noticeable comin’ down the street! Congrats on staying at it.

 

Looking real nice John..
