Project Update

Just giving you guys a little update on the '77 project Ive been working on. A little background: I'm putting a '77 supercab on an '89 F350 frame with a 7.3. Latest job is lengthening the frame to accommodate the supercab and longbox
Heres the frame as it sits today, almost done with it

A little better shot of the new section from a '92 F450

Heres the cab test fitted on the frame before I cut it up to extend it. I like the way it sits, cant wait for it to be done

NICE! Looks good to me! :P

I like the idea behind what you're doing. It's always impressive to see something old and new combined to make a "hybrid" vehicle as I call them.

Btw, I like your suspension system to get the cab on the frame haha! Nice 1-man attempt, and it worked!

Nice work so far! Are you going to keep the drw setup? IMO, that would look awesome like that!

Yup, gonna keep the dually wheels. They should stick out 2 1/2" on each side of the bed. It should give it that mean look that I like
