I see a seam in the center of the front bed panel. Did you widen or narrow the bed to make it match up to the cab better?

Truck looks killer!

Looking great Rodger! I love how you guys have such a nice mix of projects going on, not just a bunch of the same thing over and over. It keeps you top of your game I'm sure!

THANKS - It really makes it fun. I think we do pretty well at trying to make them all stand out for their each individual style. We have one coming in that is 24ft long and over 10ft tall that I'm a little worried about, but they all seem to come together pretty well in the end.

Start with a 3' chop?

Update

We narrowed the bumper alot and got it sucked in to the body quite a bit. We are getting things ready to for the LED headlights. That shoudl really bring the front end together with a modern vibe.




We have begun a dash layout to allow a Double Din stereo unit that will flow with the original design. We are designing some custom Ac vents and gauge cluster and Glove box to be machined from Billet aluminum.



In this picture you can see the sub structure we put in the cars to make the column mount very solid to the car. I had a dash mounted column in a car is rattles and moves around as you get in and out.


We raised up the drive shaft tunnel for clearance and and are getting ready to build the bigger trans tunnel for the 6 speed 4L80E trans from TCI.


We are getting a heads up on the chassis and getting ready to set up the rear suspension for the proper geometry.
