Cool pic with comparison to another panel.

Another pic as the show was winding down.

Back at the hotel. Truck the same height at the wall.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

On the way home I stopped by a guy's place who said he had some parts. Guy was awesome and let me buy a few things I needed/wanted.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Got the last hood I have been looking for.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Guy also gave me a roof rack that someone made. It's not the best right now but it's cool and I can modify it for my needs.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Love the hood!! That rack looks cool, you pretty much have enough room to carry the space shuttle. ;)

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

That thing looks very cool on the road. Nice job :metal:

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Thank you sir!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

you need to let in on that parts stash!!!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Thanks! I have two kayaks and they will actually fit on top and even stop right before the cab. Planning on making the rack be able to hold them. Have a couple other ideas for it as well. Stay tuned!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

really been enjoying this build, I have caught the last few pages, and am slowly making my way through the rest.
I love the "cheater section" it makes it look even lower, and you almost can't tell why.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

super cool!!!!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Are you referring to moving up the bedsides? It was all rusty and after channeling it 4" I just added the bedside to the bottom for looks. Didn't look right cut straight off. It's not as crazy as your build. You have all kinds of cool stuff going on!!!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

yeah, just the bottom inch or so with the rocker cut off-
your build makes me want to find a 1 ton panel!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Right on man, the rig is on the road and that's progress. What's next on the to do list?

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Very cool nice ride . Enjoyed the pictures you post and the time line.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Next up is to finish the body work, do some paint work to blend the new into old. Also have to finish the interior. From there the plan is to drive the **** out of it!!!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Sounds like great plan!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Fixed the bedside on the passenger side that already got damaged laying it out on something. It's better now. Also cut the crap out of some brand new rockers and got one installed. Also pie cut the front fender piece and got it tacked on. Needing to get everything done in the next couple days so I can get it to paint.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Rad!!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Glad to see you got that rocker fixed as it looked pretty bad resting on the ground..I saw your panel at Beatersville and knew I recognized it from the forum..it'll be really cool if you get it done and get a "finished" look where you did all the patchwork.. These Panel trucks take up a ton of space--but I have a feeling yours could start a bit of a trend..what is the aired up ride height? What's the plans for the interior?

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Ride height is around 5.5"s roughly. It lifts up to 11.5" front and 10.5" rear. Overall it rides pretty good. Interior plans are full metal bead rolled panels. Going with Honda Element seats so that I end up with a bed when they are all laid down. I have 4 rear seats so I was planning on maybe putting 2 in the very back. Biggest debate is do you face them forward or point them backwards. Lol

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

Got the drivers side done although I can't seem to get the door to align correctly. It's always been a slight problem. It's really frustrating especially working by myself.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
 

have you tried moving the striker plate in more?
