Way to go Garry ! ! ! I stopped by Garry in Oct. and got the tour at that time. The pics of the project have been fantastic. I keep a folder of the RAT ROD WRECKER. Wish I had pics of my own progress, slow as it is.

P.S. Sweet hoist

Wayne, channelled the sleeper today to get the right height then sit on frame and got in sleeper and marked to rear of the cab, pulled it off again and cut the back of the cab and put it back on yet again, did I say I was busy today. Jack took some pics so hopefully I'll put the pics up soon or should I say I'll see if Tom 48coe can post for me, Garry

Garry,
You are doing some awesome work on the beast. Will it still fit on the lift? Man that's getting huge! Keep us posted as I'm sure there are more than a few following this build.

Reminds me of a tee shirt I've seen,

"anyone can restore one but it takes a real man to cut one up"

Looking SWEEEEET!!!! Got one question though, are you gonna put swivels on the seats? It looks like it will take a mighty skinny fellow to get into the sleeper

51PanelMan, he would have had to cut the hole bigger as the 48-50 rear window is too small

I wish it had a small window then I wouldn't have to build in the window opening but I'll figure it out..Jeff, no swivel seats but they are AIR RIDE SEATS, haven't quite got that figured out yet either, too many other things to worry about first, had a lazy day today but did intall the battery disconnect switch and installed the brake controller for the trailer brakes, been sitting and staring alot the past few days, talking to myself alot also but it is starting to come together more each day, gotta keep hacking away because Piegon Forge is sneaking up on us and I do want to take the BEASTT down this year. Gotta go back to the garage and get to work,not really, I'M TIRED.

It will be tight, I have a 71 R-Model Mack that I pull my 5th wheel with. It has a 60" walk in sleeper, sort of tight between the seats on it and I know my cab is wider. If you can build such a fine ride, I'm sure you can figure out that one obstacle
