Here is what the truck looks like now as a reminder. Yes, my shop is an old converted horse barn. I'm not proud. No ridicule please.
The reason I've been slacking on this truck is that I have been throwing together a clapped out half ton. Long story short, but I got beat out of a pretty bad ass little truck I had by a family member. He abandoned a junky long bed 78 model when he left with my truck so I figured I'd just build the longbed to keep my mind occupied. Shortened frame, Craigslist stepside bed, some lowering components and a whole lot of work and very little money.
