Thanks guys, can only post one picture at a time. Might be a slow moving project but you never know, the way winter is going right now I could be in the shop alot.
 
Looking good, can't wait to see more.

By the way you said you can only post one picture at a time. I also had that problem when I was using my iPhone to upload them. Once I started using my PC instead it worked fine.

Looks like it's on it's way
Are those Chris Alston ladder bars ? I put a set on a customers car that look just like them.
 
Looks like a good solid cab for a starting point.
After seeing your build on the Mack, which was really sweet,
I'm sure this is going to be good.
What's the plan for this one?

The ladder bars are from jegs nothin fancy. There is no real plan, just have fun. Started to modify and install front ladder bar brackets, didn't think ahead enough now safety strap for hemi won't work. Wil come up with something different for that at some point.

Rear axle brackets

I've found if you weld on a muffler clamp to your brackets it makes a good way to mock up this stuff.
