ptc · 10-20-2015, 12:34 PM

Well you guys definitely have the "Holy" thing going on here with this build....

It is incredible the time and patience you both have with doing all it takes to make this a 110% over the top build! VERY nice work.

With all the welding of the fenders and inner panels to the cab itself - the whole front and cab will install as one piece now I assume? Your still making the whole thing removable though right? Gonna be a heavy piece of material!

Looks great though!

Repairs look real good.
Kim

RockTonka · 11-29-2015, 07:58 PM

Thanks Kim!

We spent a few quality hours yesterday working...had 3 generations getting dirty...that's my dad and son cleaning all the old undercoating off the bottom side.

I dropped a few dimples into the hood brace piece while they were chipping away.

RockTonka · 11-29-2015, 08:09 PM

Scott (scotts62) spent most the evening hanging out, working on getting parts hammered into shape, and making a general mess in the shop!

Kim57 · 11-30-2015, 12:36 AM

Looking good.
Kim

**Advanced Design** · 11-30-2015, 02:34 PM

Three generations working on the truck is so cool!
Of course...I only see two of the generations doing the dirty work...

lower50's · 11-30-2015, 04:21 PM

Nice work guys. You could call the truck "Triple D" dimple, dump, dually. Love it all.

The_Hub · 12-01-2015, 02:38 AM

Dang it. I just read this thread from ground zero. Now I'm sad that there isn't more to read. Now not all the holes tickle my fancy but I'm glad you guys carried it through the way you did. The work you're doing with your son will be the best memories of his life. I wish my dad would've done the same for me but I'll sure as hell be doing it for my boys.

Your build is amazing and you guys seem like great people. I'm only a few hours away and if I'm ever in the area in my burb I may need to drop by

Side note, Have you guys thought about getting that bad boy on the hotrod power tour?

ptc · 12-01-2015, 12:15 PM

Lookin really good you guys!!!! nice to have the cab all together ... and on a lift!

Thanks for the kind words Hub! Hot Rod Tour might be fun one of these days...

Thanks ptc! The lift makes so much of what we do just stupid easy

RockTonka · 01-05-2016, 01:05 AM

Slow going over the holidays, but some progress non-the-less.

We rolled the cab outside one evening for some quality time with the sand blaster to clean the underside, front end seams, and other difficult-to-sand areas.

We're seam-sealing as much of the open, and welded, seams/patches that we can before coating the underside in POR-15.

RockTonka · 01-05-2016, 01:25 AM

Into the bondo/glaze & sand, bondo/glaze & sand, bondo/glaze & sand stage...

**Advanced Design** · 01-05-2016, 04:17 AM

Great to see the updates! Those are the longest extensions on the ends of the lift arms I have ever seen. They look really handy for that application.

Grizz1963 · 01-05-2016, 04:22 AM

I was getting concerned with all the quiet that you were all OK.

Good progress Phil and team.

lower50's · 01-05-2016, 05:36 AM

Looks great guys, the hard part is behind you.

ptc · 01-05-2016, 01:35 PM

Progress!!!!

Kim57 · 01-05-2016, 09:35 PM

Thanks AD, the extensions are just the short and long extensions together...handy to clear the body.
