[99 to Life]

12-8
man it was freezing saturday, had to do brakes on my daily out in the elements. managed to get a few hours in on the 49'. Just getting cab aligned, so I can get bed aligned. My 51' bed depth is about 10" with about 2" of wood. The 49' bed depth should be 9" final after about 1" of wood. As of right now, no tubs. I'll have to put maybe .5" spacers in the back, 1" tops. right now wheel tuck is 3" so I got some room to play with.

Hoping to have body mounts made and everything finalized by the new year. The front fenders on there now are just moch ups, they are not the final fenders. Im getting my electric hooked up monday, and ordering a welder this month. So I can really get cracking on some things. Once body height is final (after I get moch up engine/trans weight, still should be around 3-3.5" of frame. I can then start working on all new cab floor and trans tunnel. Once I finalize that and maybe do doors alignment with bear claws and do cab corners while its on frame. Or take off frame and do on dolly, while frame is being sandblaster OR stripped by hand which I don't want to do! Then final assembly of body, exhaust, brakes, engine etc. Then onto interior and wiring, air ride wiring/plumbing,glass door logos, bed wood and list will keep going.
