Yeah, did some backyard engineering to get mine on by myself too. I'm behind the cab, you just see my legs. Also, here's a pic of how I mounted my gas tank. Someone on this thread was wondering.

This is a great thread. Not only can we see the process of a bad truck come to life but it also serves as a motivator to me that there will rubber on the street and me in a dream machine some day

It appears that we mounted our fuel cells about the same way. Like your frame set up.

Mine is back in pieces again. Dropped off all the parts to the paint shop today. Hope to have everything painted by the end of next week. Wish it was running too - Oh well guess that will be the big push next spring.

Have you started to assemble anything yet. I'm getting anxious to see how it is all going to turn out.

Not yet. Probably won't get that done until spring. Weather is going to bring an end to my progress pretty quick. I have to do some unplanned work on the frame (steering gear and motor mount have a problem). Cab should be painted by the end of next week. Damn Winter!
