Thanks,
It's been a try it you might like it kind of thing for me.
Still need to dehump pass side. It was really easier than
I thought it would be. Post some pics of your ride.
Good luck.
 
Looks good, I am trying to decide on duals or go with the super single. I like both! Keep up the good work.

Thanks,
I went with duals cause I had the wheels and
the super single tires and wheels was gonna cost
nearly 3 grand. Too rich for my budget.
And I couldn't find anything used. I really like the super singles.
Good luck with your build and post lots of pics.
 
hey guys
i met pops today.
he invited me over for a chat.
a real nice guy .
and that truck is BADASS![cl
the wife and i both loved it.
i got some photos on her phone
and will post them soon.
 
love it

I love your build. I can relate to the paint color issue. my bed is a green/blue color. I'm thinking about stripping down the bed and painting it.

Love the lettering on your doors!! Looking great. Love the cab.[cl[cl[P
 
Thanks guys, it's coming along slowly but surely.
Things came to screeching halt three weeks ago.
My 85 yr old dad had a stroke and is not doing well at all.
Then my 86 yr old mom misses a step and breaks her arm.
So needless to say the Dodge isn't very high on my list right now.
I've got to get their care figured out.
Maybe this week end I'll get some shop time.
 
thats a bummer on your parents, hope they get better...

But on a brighter note... I hadent checked in on your build in a while... and it is looking great!
 
Did you RE-hump the de-humped doors?

Thanks for the thoughts guys, it meens a lot .
The life cycle can be brutal.
We got Dad on hospice to meet his needs. It's really hard to see him in this condition. I can only hope and pray that he doesn't linger in this state.
Moms broken arm is doing better.

Thanks
 
Stop the insanity

I haven't had the gumption to do much in the way of updates but
I have been getting some done on the Dodge.
Got the panhard bars figured out and installed, the engine is plumbed and it actually runs good. the cheap stainless headers are developing their own petina. Made the battery box, installed the Lokar shifter.
Built in a little tire clearance into the bed. Built the seat bases, and started on the floor.

Also a little interior decorating, My shifter knob and my version of not so fuzzy dice. Here's a few pics.
