More progress:
The cab is ready to mount to the frame.
It has been decided to build a custom service body/hauler bed (so I am now litterally using ZERO parts from the original truck)....more details on that later.

Here is some pics:

Going to bed for the night

Most of the heavy fab is done, I am going to try to get the wood in the floor and the bed started on before I move to SD in May

worked on the truck for the last time for a while. I am relocating to SD in less than a week, so I had to put the hammer down and finish the heavy fab. The truck is now ready to ship...but I have not figured out the details of moving it yet...

Anyways, here is some pictures.....

Thanks! I am really liking the way that this truck is coming together..... I have changed my mind a lot during the journey, but I am very happy with what it's becoming.

HalfEmpty's new home..... nicer than the alley behind my old house, not as nice as my shop at my dad's farm.....but it will do for what I need to finish up.

Unfortunately it looks like its going to be well into july before I can afford to get it out here......
