Randy,
You have an excellent looking start there. You should begin working on it and start your own build thread with the help of your son. It is great to see these father/son projects. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us...makes me want one like yours and the one in this build!

Hey ya'll, thanks for the cool comments. :metal:

We've been out of the loop for a bit with a recent move out to the country (few acres/couple shops) :cf:
Been in the new place for a few weeks now and still trying to organize it all...we're not done, but making progress. We did make settling in to one of the shops a priority and actually moved the cab over on to the chassis just last night. I think my son has some pics to post up :uhmk: We still need to clearance the firewall a bit before moving the cab into where it needs to be (an inch or two forward) but he's been goofing around with the bed parts to get an idea of how it's going to look.

Alright, chased down some pics...not the greatest, but it's the best we've got of the cab on the chassis.

Thanks for taking the time to comment...always cool!

We're anxious to get back in the middle of these projects, having space will let us work back and forth on them at the same time...no more more stacking/unstacking to make room to work.:lol:

The first few weekends were spent getting the shop "office" whipped in to shape...trim, paint, carpet, and guy stuff. :lol:

The Texaco can lamp/table (collection of broke parts) was our first project in this place :metal:

Looks like you guys have broke a few outter axle shafts by the way that lamp is built..

Thanks Dino!!

My boy and I worked a bit on fitting the front clip into place to help position the cab before jumping into making cab mounts. We still have a bit of tuning, but it's pretty close. Hope to have the cab locked down next weekend.
