WOW!!! I would imagine this is not your first build. Maybe a welder by trade? Very excellent build so far and really like all the pictures you are providing.

It looks like you shaved the drip rail on the cab, any chance you could share some info/pics on that? Thanks for posting the suicide doors, I have been waiting for someone on the forum to do that.;)

I did shave the drip rails, I don't have any pictures of when I did it though, sorry. They're spot welded on, I just cut the welds loose removed the drip rails and welded up holes. I think these cabs look much better with them removed

That looks awesome! Definitely going to make working under dash and in the cab a helluva lot easier with the doors opening that way.

More body mods, filled cowl vent and side cowl vent. Still alot of finish work left on all these panels. On the cowl vent you can maybe see I was playing with a little lead.......................

That's enough info for me. That was going to be my approach but was afraid huge door to cab gaps. Thanks! :smoke:

I like the way you did your suicide doors. You left the front attached to help you align the back part. That is awesome! Good job and keep showng pictures.
