Wow, that tank turned out nice. Do you have engine and trans ready to install?
So you are going step boxes under the cab? Obviously one will be the battery box.
That is literally a truck built to spec. Kudos to you and your abilities. Also your knowledge of trucks is unsurpassed.
Cheers
Yep, that's going to be one nice truck when you are done. Looks like a 400 big cam? looks a lot like the one that is in the KW you did a drawing of for me. Did you totally rebuild it or is it a good used engine? My guess is you went through every thing. The black and silver detail looks great together.
Have run into a snag with the guy doing the body work----He hasn't done any work in two months. So he is done and I will retrieve the cab and parts, and see if I can find someone else
worth a sh!t to finish it. But I'm not surprised really, few bodymen are very reliable most are fairly shiftless or drunks. It will probably set me back a good year now and actually I'm ready to
assemble the cab, install engine and transmission then set cab in-place.

Guess some of it could be from sniffing the fumes in a body shop! Just a quick walk through most body shops will have my head spinning. Can't imagine breathing that stuff for 8 to 10 hours everyday.
Good luck!
Don't do the rat rod thing... Please...For me that's not much of an excuse, with me you take a job you damn well finish it. But who known's I might just rat rod the rest of it to create a sharp contrast from frame to cab.
