Starting to assemble shortbed on its shortbed chassis. Made some steel spacers 1”x1/2” for the bed sides to sit on. No more wood bed floor!

No more wood, what's the plan?

Moved the truck from my house to my buddies place so I can progress on the frame swap!

The shortening of the sides looks great.
I'm curious to see how you repair the frame horns.

Interesting find on the steering wheel. Less dish, but not overtly obvious.

RDrancher · 11-29-2021, 10:55 PM

In for the ride. I like that wheel.

The 16” wheels and the stance are killer!

LostMy65 · 12-19-2021, 05:01 PM

Everything looks perfect as is.
Put a white front bumper on it and the outside is done. Beautiful survivor!

hardwaa · 12-19-2021, 05:29 PM

Soooo HAPPY with the progress!!
