Project "Keeper"

Great truck!
I'd like to find one in the same condition.

What ever happened to the swb truck project you were building for another board member?

Thanks, been looking for months.

I sold it and most of the parts and reimbursed the board member a few months ago. I just didn't have the time to finish a frame off project....when I first started I was working for myself. A lot of my contract work dried up and I got recruited by my present employer at around the time I was struggling to find more contract work.

I tried all I could to complete the project as promised and purchased a second truck project further along to try to accomplish it, but lost my body shop contact and have been working long hours/traveling a lot more than I planned so the project would have taken years and the buyer didn't want to wait and I didn't want to further disappoint them. In the end, I sold what I could and broke just short of even on the parts and wasn't paid a penny for the countless hours I'd invested in the project (actual building, commute to the body shop (over 60 hours alone there) and planning/buying parts/picking up parts) ...but things all balance out....I've found some great deals in the past on parts and trucks.
