thanks for the words of encouragement and compliments.
actually i have access to 2 forklifts.each within 3 miles of my house!!
so if id decide to finish the body and cage before installing it on the frame it shouldnt be too bad a deal.
i am so up for a trip to the badlands.
i am heading out this week for family vacation to florida! gonna check out a few BIG trucks while im down there.lots of those guys are running 5TON
