Loving this build and scanning back some pages. Good to see it's getting paint and rolling around now!

That said, get some jack stands man. Why bet your life on cinder blocks? They just don't really have the support capacity of stands, even cheap ones. They have no reinforcement internally. Hell, people can punch through them.

All that money in the truck, shell out for some quality stands and live a little longer . Your jack is made in Taiwan I believe, so not everything from overseas is bad!

Cheers buddy.

That was what you said.

And you have certainly triumphed !!

Well done.

It's a pity most people only see a shiny white truck, and not the days and hours of specialist fabrication you and others have done.

I am sure you are pleased and proud of the truck, and rightfully so.
