btw someone told me Little shop of Horror is building some 10 lug 8,5 adapters on their facebook page!
might be worth investigating

I am going to build a dog house, but it will be portable, I am going to set it up so it can plug into an accessory plug on the bed, and that will power a gage that tells me how warm/cold it is inside, I will be able to reach through the vent window and open or close his vent.

Doing a flat bed now instead of the western hauler bed it had.

watahyahknow · 03-26-2011, 11:34 AM

the truck is sitting high enough .... you might allso make the doghouse like a toolbox hanging under the flatbed between the cab and rearwheels , would make it eazier for the dog to get in it as whell .
doing it this way you can put a smal toiletblower type device behind the seat with a pipe to the box to suck the cooled or warmed air out of the cab intoo the dogbox and rufly keep the temperature in the box the same as the cab
just dont drive trough deep water

I am just going to insulate the box well, have the vent setup, and I am probably going to build it out of aluminum.

It is going to have to be fairly large because my dog aint exactly small.

I am only going to use the doghouse on long trips, on short trips I will have him ride up front with me.

Loading him is not a problem, I have him trained to put his front paws up and I will lift up his back legs to get him in, easy on his hips and easy on my back.

Have I mentioned German Shepherds are just awesome dogs?

Why is your YouTube channel called "RichardsMetalWorks?" Are you working for Richard now? Or did you two join together?

Richard was working for me for a while, he decided he wanted to go back to Houston though, he is living there now. I cant say I blame him, I am ready to get out of this town, have to wait till I graduate though.

I wont be posting any because the truck has my address and phone number plastered all over the side of it.

thirdstreettito · 03-26-2011, 02:55 PM

It's good advertising though isn't it?

no, advertising online for what I do doesnt really work, more so I dont like anyone who doesnt need it having my address for obvious reasons.

And I dont need to be getting into an arguement online with some one then having them calling my business and harassing me or something.

thirdstreettito · 03-26-2011, 04:21 PM

Good point.

MrBeast · 03-26-2011, 04:48 PM

Just a small update, I found and ordered some emblems for the truck.

Putting these on the front fenders where the 8-396 emblems would go:

Putting these on the fender in the appropriate position:

This is the color I have decided on.

I think its going to look pretty damn sharp!

watahyahknow · 03-26-2011, 05:19 PM

looks a lot like the 2001 prowler orange ..... wish is my favorite

There is a 2011 caliber parked at the HEB over here, I was bad, I wrote down thier vin so I could find out the paint code.

thirdstreettito · 03-26-2011, 06:54 PM

Nice rendering, emblems, and paint choice. Where did you get the Cummins emblem?

Oh my God. Shibby! Glad it's in. I'm with you on the Visor, ew. And the hood...

I didn't know you bought the calico truck from Richard, too bad he didn't finish it.

Also, the website in the video isn't up, didn't know if you knew or not.
