almost a truck again
As i posted in my build thread. I finally got the bed on and the hood.....This seems to be the longest year and a half now that i can remember...When i thought i could do this all by myself in less than a year i should have had my arse kicked....lol........To do one right,and alone i just dont see it happening..In the next 2-3 weeks i hope to have the hood worked and lined up and get her ready to take to work......And spend the following week or two blocking and painting.....Anyways here are a few pics.......Wish me luck

Re: almost a truck again
You`re gettin`there,now.It`s nice to have all the truck on the frame and not all over the place.It makes it easier to focus for me.

Re: almost a truck again
Thing looks great. What are you running for taillights? They look like simple trailer style light?

Re: almost a truck again
Its going the green guys, The red is the previous color.. The bed was just edged in Red ( it had a late model bed on it before and then i got this one..Did all the bod work and shaved the gate, Drove it for a while and then decided to do a Frame off
 So its just edged in red...As far as the wheels...For now i will just buy some taller rear tires, I have ran these wheels for the last 4-5 years and i really like them. The front is 17x9.5 and the rears are 17x13. The rears allow me to run a large tire....Right now i think the back is a 325/55/17...and i would like to go much taller to match the front...But it is hard finding a rear tire that wide .Any suggestions would be great. the rear have always been shorter than the front......And yes the tail lights are just Tractor Trailer L.E.D s i plan on changing them, As i ordered a set of billet L.E.Ds...which will give me a much cleaner look.....I pretty much shaved the gate because guys at work said it could not be done.....I did not think about lights until i was getting ready to drive it home...so.lol

Re: almost a truck again
I cannot wait to see it completed!!!!! ever since I read you were going with a green similiar to 504 medium olive, I have watched every one of your posts!
I'm living vicariously through you, my friend. I'm a bit biased, but that's my favorite color as well!

Re: almost a truck again
You're getting close. If you're anything like me you'll feel like a big burden has been lifted off your shoulders after it's painted.
 Then you get to spend hours putting it back together.Can't wait to see it finished.
