ggdad1951 Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 Another day...and another day not done. But I am closer. I just need to add a stop under the cab, build out a front bumper point, finish trimming up stuff, decide welding method where I grafted in cab corners, and add bumper holes. I did add another connection point up front. Hoping the driver side isn't 1.5 weeks like this has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggdad1951 Posted September 18 Author Report Share Posted September 18 Spent more time with the parts yesterday, a few cut off wheels and a few scary moments with large pieces by myself....I've secioned it into 4 pieces now, but have decided to just build a new one, these parts are just too beat up to match up to a nice clean cab and frame. So off to CoreMark I go to spend unplanned $$. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
