That's gonna be one mean looking rod. What is the wheelbase on that thing? One thing for sure, you shouldn't be cramped for room in that cab. It's looking good.................

seen it over on the hamb, that thing is bitchin

Looks pretty cool to me. What is the overall length of it?

130ish" wheel base

Made some more progress on the doors, now they both open and latch and lock

The metal work is nearly finished one more day and the skin will be ready. I was looking at some old photos and didnt realize what a differance the before and after was.

you have done a heck of a job

Things are changing once again. If I stop changing crap I would have been able to drive her a long time ago.

I cut off the ugly ass rear suspension, and decided to go with a ford 9". I built or I should say I rebuilt the back half of the fram last weekend now Im just waiting for brackets to built the four link. The frame rails are about 4" below the top of the bed

I have not updated you guys in a while now, not much progress has been made. The body got sent off to a friends shop for a little lower rework. I wasnt happy with the cab corner transition. I will post photos when she comes back.

I finally welded in the rear suspension, its only take three on the rear end design. I finally decided to go with the ford 9" and a triangulated 4-link with coilovers..I will not change it again. She rolled outside for the first time in 6 months, man does the gold motor look good in the sun.

Looks very cool! Keep us updated..I don't usually venture too far from this forum.

It has been a busy summer with not much to show in the way of progress, but she did get a little more metal work. Thanks to Peterson Bro's in Petaluma.

So the cab corners looked like crap before and now they look so much better.

This thing is awesome! Keep up the good work!

Looking cool and yes the redo corners to improve the overall look. That V12 is some else also and heck it is going to be a shame to cover that metallic paint job. Good to have you back here posting also.Please keep us involved with your build as I like it oh so much, thanks.

The motor will not be covered, no hood and no hood sides. I will however have to cover the tranny,,,,

Man you are the "MAN" Great workmanship I envy you please post more pictures as you go along. I"m putting my 32 roaster together taking the whole drivetran from 1993 gmc vandura 2500 series. I was burnt out, but seeing your work gives me a whole new fire thankyou deanraye!
