New Utility Body Pix
Well i'm making progress, all the new tool boxes finally came in . I had to cut out the lower face and the support rod for the door closer of the front and rear compartments to get the tool boxes in thay just fit the door closer support just touches the top of the boxes. I cut 2 more holes for lights and bought new fuel fill holders. I have deceided to paint and clear the body than paint the chassie than mount ....I cant take my truck apart until i know it's not going to snow....check out the pix http://rides.webshots.com/album/562927869nHZFCL?vhost=rides
