51dueller- the vertical frame cut was a mistake. i should have done a diagonal cut.but it is plated on the inside, i will also be plating the edge and will be fishplating the outside. it was a big mistake and i dont want to take and chances with it breaking.

FirstTry- the search for the Dana 60 is coming along well, i have found a few but most guys want to much for them. i think i'm just goint to run my 44HD till it blows then frop down the cash for a good highpinion D60

66gpw- 51dueller is right about the tank. but that hole will be getting filled and i will be using a rear mount gas tank. coofe gatherings? where and when abouts?

FoMoKo- i owuld love to become a member of the sask/manit. chapter. how do i go about doing that?

preppypyro, 96sherm- thankyou for the compliments. i can only hope that when my truck is eventually finished that is will be as nice as some of the rigs i've seen around here.

you should check out some of teh BC 4x4 sites, I will find that actual address's for you, can't think of tehm off hand, some pretty reasonable prices on there, might be cheap enough to make it reasonable to buy in BC and have it shipped

We`re gettting together at the Draggins Car Show at Easter so keep an eye on this forum and we`ll have a meeting sometime in April.
To join read this sticky at the top of the Man/Sask chapter forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...-requests.html
There are some nice trucks here and some of our`s aren`t done so we drive our old beaters. All kinds here which is great, nice to see them all including orginal, the works in progress and the finished ones.

The diesels come under the heading of nice trucks, diffinately not beaters.
My old 53 M350 is a beater for now, my 57 F350 and 69 F100 are nice orginals and my 05 F350 Lariat is nice.

thanks for all the replys guys.
as for my truck....i would ahve never started it if i didnt have the right connections lol.
all my bodywork is free because i have a friend teaching me..
and i have a buddy that just open a offroad shop on sask ave(JR offroad designs, for Details PM or e-mail me) and a ton more.
plus i got a very helpful father and brother that are behind me in thi build.

i know some of you are thinking " ooh little boy gets to build a truck with dadys money" well your WRONG!! the only thing i'm using is dadys garge(my shop) and dadys power lol. other than that i am funding the build myself.....

Your lucky you got a garage to build in. I've built my entire truck OUTSIDE! I've fought the wind, rain and snow drifts!
