At the age od 71, I am at the end of building modified trucks. My old bones are giving out.

The last truck I am building I have been working on for 4 years & I am getting towands the end of my last project.

It's has the top chopped, cab & frame lengthened 3" thru the door area.
A late model modified bed with caddy fins added.
Modified dash, rain gutters removed.....etc.

I would appreciate your comments, but please be kind.

Thanks Don(St Cloud, FL)
PS- I can post more pictures if anyone would like to see the other modifications

Just remember Don, these projects we build we build them for "US".

Don't give up on doing projects. You are still moving. My dad is 86 and is working on a 1935 1-1/2 ton. It keeps him going :mm:

Reading your text I did not think I would like the longer doors. I was wrong.
Looks cool ! Very nice.

You do nice work. But, don't stop here. I'm just a youngster at 62, and I sure hope I've got a few more good wrenching years in me too.

I have one more car to finish, but I do not think I will be able to do it.
