Started messing with the rear bumper area. Think I’m going with this. Same angle as my light piece but acts as a step.

Also whipped up some wheel tubs using my Mittler Bros bead roller. I don’t use it very often but I like having it for stuff like this.

Re: 66 C50 Cummins build aka Big Stupid
I like the step idea, but that material looks kinda thin for a step??
The wheel tubs look great. |

I recessed the fuel filler and made a hinged door.

I sprayed the whole flatbed with Raptor liner. Think it turned out well.

Overall it drove pretty decent for the little amount I drove it. Still need to finish a few things but she’s basically road worthy. Gas station pic

I don’t know why these keep posting upside down from my phone. It’s annoying.

Re: 66 C50 Cummins build aka Big Stupid
Great work on the bed! Your wheel covers and bumper are very nice! I'm sure it is great to have it this far now!

Re: 66 C50 Cummins build aka Big Stupid
Big Stupid looks great all across the board, job well done! curious on your driving feedback (i.e ride, handling, maneuverability, braking etc.).

Re: 66 C50 Cummins build aka Big Stupid
Very cool truck!

Appreciate the feedback, no doubt it will take some time to dial things in. Compliments again on a job well done. It's not easy to pull off a great stance and look with these trucks. I've seen many where the cab looks good but the bed never seems to quite look right but you have nailed it!

Re: 66 C50 Cummins build aka Big Stupid
The truck is looking awesome! Good to see it running and driving around. Any photos of how the interior turned out?

Re: 66 C50 Cummins build aka Big Stupid
Hey doing a similar build motor (6bt-2wd 47rh) wise. Can you explain a touch how you made the engine fit? From what i see with mine (i have a complete ac core to engine in the frame still) i need to make up 15 inches. Just see what you did. thanks

Sorry for the late response. I made my own engine mounts but it basically fell into place. Overall nothing had to be cut or modified other than the trans tunnel and the piece on the firewall where the two pieces of the trans tunnel bolt up. I made a new hump and welded the two pieces together so I could eliminate the bar than ran across. |

Another shot of the LED’s. They make a huge difference driving at night.

Modified the original gas tank to be a holder for stuff behind the seat. Figured it wasn’t worth anything and would be cool to get some other type of use out of it. Now stuff won’t be rolling all around under my seat.

Decided since the truck is meant to be a work truck I didn’t want carpet. I sprayed the cab with a timetable bed liner. I tinted it to match the fawn color interior the truck came with. Think it turned out well. Also sprayed the corner speaker mounts I made.
