This is our latest version..the delivery! built from a pickup truck. Hope you like it. Keep in mind..no deliveries or panel trucks were harmed in the fabrication of this vehicle. Respectfully, Jim Hall.

IronCustoms · 06-10-2010, 05:02 PM

A few more pics...remember its not the destination..Its the journey

IronCustoms · 06-10-2010, 05:06 PM

final stages of the build....been a crazy build, might have bit off more than planned, but I think it was worth it.

IronCustoms · 06-10-2010, 05:14 PM

latest and final stages. We hoped you liked the build pics.

IronCustoms · 06-10-2010, 05:17 PM

Thank you Mailman, This would make a great mail truck, painted up in blue and white. We can even build you a mailbox trailer for it.

something to think about

**DPowers** · 06-10-2010, 09:46 PM

That's alot of fabication... looks good. Interior plans?

**CHIZZLER** · 06-10-2010, 09:47 PM

Metal masters.nice work

NF65Fleetside · 06-10-2010, 10:39 PM

not really my style BUT i totally dig the craftsmanship and design put in it! Are you going to run a hood and front fenders? This actually gives good inspiration for a sectioned panel which would be siiiiiiiiiick! great job though, and lastly will it get sprayed?

monolith · 06-10-2010, 10:45 PM

Innovative as hell!

I'd love to see it with a hood and fenders as well.

Brilliant, inspiring work!

Sillyoldman · 06-10-2010, 10:52 PM

I really,really, really,really,really, really,really,really, really,really,really, really like it.

apachedaddy · 06-11-2010, 12:35 AM

The final touch would be to make it a BBW. Show off those metal working skills a little more. Just my 2 cent. O buy the way can i have about 10% of your metal working skills?

IronCustoms · 06-11-2010, 01:17 AM

Thanks for all the kind words guys, It took 2 months on this build so I have to stop and turn it, would love to finish some of these out but time and budgets don`t allow, So we offer the platform and hope that who ever ends up with them sees them thru. We have lots of ideas on what would look cool and you guys have givin me inspiration and Ideas as well, Hopefully future models will allow us to excercise more creativity. What sucks is the more creative we get..the more costly it gets, not to mention the time involve. thank you again and good luck on your projects. Keep on Truckin.

**Captainfab** · 06-11-2010, 01:23 AM

It's not something I would do, but I admire your metalworking skills and creativity....good job. I like this one

Now I'm anxious to see it finished.

BIG V · 06-11-2010, 03:06 AM

bad truck i love all the sheet metal work you did

62 short step · 06-11-2010, 07:55 AM

Wow! I like it!

chevyrestoguy · 06-11-2010, 08:28 AM

Coolest one yet!

Have you considered painting them different color beside flat black and going with a polished aluminum wheel? I'm not a huge fan of the all-black look.

Great fab skills!
