Looks great Trevor.

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-25-2014, 08:53 PM

Thanks Tom, I have now cut 6 total cab roofs out..... spot weld by spot weld, but whose counting

7dee2 · 10-25-2014, 08:59 PM

Wow that doesn't sound like fun but what a great truck your going to have.

Oh believe me, it was a ball. When you need 2 Cheyenne Inner Roof skins, another outer skin with clearance lights, one for any addition pieces, and the actually suburban roof.... you get tired of drilling

Thanks for the kind words, I keep trying to think like your comment. Thinking it will turn out better this way. Trevor

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-25-2014, 11:10 PM

Rough sketch of my engine emblem, either this or D 6.6L.

I have had the feeling of doubt, "i wonder if i am crazy, this is crazy..." from going a little in depth for something. haha. better to just do it right the first time. thats the phrase i keep using to justify my behavior! haha

i vote DMAX on the emblem. leaves no doubt.

7dee2 · 10-27-2014, 11:17 AM

DMAX oh yes!

6600DURAMAX · 10-27-2014, 03:01 PM

My vote would go to DMAX.................Love it

Is that a new door skin on the 4th door that was sectioned together?

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-27-2014, 05:09 PM

DMAX it shall be! Thanks guys

As far as the door skin, yes it is a new outer door skin that I have cut the correct length, but will still need some tweaking. I figured this way I could do the bodywork front and back until its right. Trevor

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-27-2014, 07:51 PM

I'd go with DMAX on the emblem too. It'll look sweet.

72 Copper C-10 · 10-28-2014, 12:51 AM

Finally!! I found out why I can't find tow hooks for my truck..... Because Trevor has them all! Lol

i love the build its very cool I can't wait to see more!!

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-03-2014, 11:48 PM

Just showing the work on the "new" outer skin[URL=http://s481.photobucket.com/user/heartbeatfan/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141103_205034_826_zps9e44877d.jpg.html]

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-09-2014, 09:21 PM

A member asked to see my roof currently. I am adding truck headliners into the cab, thus why so much cut out.

1972K20 · 11-11-2014, 10:59 PM

This is a great looking build!

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-15-2014, 07:35 PM

Switched gears....been working on the cab and chassis frame preparing it for the 4x4 conversion.

ryanroo · 11-15-2014, 09:49 PM

with your attention to detail, i am excited to see some chassis and powertrain stuff!

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-16-2014, 10:26 AM

The start of cutting brackets off.

**71blksuper4x4** · 12-30-2014, 09:39 PM

Been fighting cold temps and the holidays with not much time off. Life of a Budman!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-31-2014, 05:04 PM

Nice work! It's hard to get anything extra done this time of year!

7dee2 · 12-31-2014, 07:35 PM

X2! Especially for the Budman!

6600DURAMAX · 01-01-2015, 12:18 PM

Making some good progress!!

**71blksuper4x4** · 01-24-2015, 11:32 PM

Roof progress.

**71blksuper4x4** · 01-25-2015, 09:02 PM

More inner roof pics. Took a little bit to figure out my transition to the door pillars. Also, got my porterbilt firewall filler panels in and started to attack them. Trevor

7dee2 · 01-26-2015, 05:23 PM

Roof is looking great, RU welding that inner skin above your head? I guess flipping a cab that big would be a problem!

**71blksuper4x4** · 01-26-2015, 06:06 PM

Nope, I have the outer roof skin off, so I am able to weld from the top and hammer and dolly as well.
