It's a long box.....but not anymore. I don't want there to be any miss representation of what the truck is. Everything on the SPID is correct except for the wheel base.

At this point is where it went from going to be a red 68 to a light blue CST. I have always had a thing for red,but when I got the CST I new it had to stay the factory color! Besides I have 2 daughters and they like the light blue!!!

How are you lifting the cab to put it on the frame?? I'm looking around in your pictures for something but don't see anything. I need to lift mine off and haven't really figure out a good way.

Good question....it's kinda hard to explain , first I slid it back on the first frame till I got it to the back(back wheels off)then put the jack stands under the cab and used a floor jack under the axle to slid the frame the rest of the way out. Then I just reversed the procedure. I do not recommend this method......there are why better ways to do this I'm stubborn and don't like to ask for help.but I'm learning:lol::lol::lol:
