my first build...
 
This is the start of my dump truck/ I dont know what...
I have to say thank you to the members on here for the parts and info.
I have my new extended frame but the holes are not tapped so I am doing my build up on this frame so I can learn where everything goes....

Very good start. I will be keeping my eye on this build.

Thanks guys.. yes, the headlights are what drew me to this cab.. and the fact that it is black and looks like a used work truck.
I have to thank Russ for the cab. I still have to fill in the back and that will be the extent of my bodywork skills..

very cool headlights!

did you buy those frame rails pre drilled?

Re: my first build...
 
I did get the rails predrilled, now I just gotta tap em.... I was gonna get the rails blank and just put the holes that I needed and have the rest of the frame be smooth, but I found these at an awesome deal so I got em...

Good looking cab! Can't wait to see it on the long rails. Are you going to leave the cab that color? Keep up the good work.

Re: my first build...
 
Yeah, the plan is to keep it black... I want a rough, hard worked truck look.. but once I get going good, the plan may very well change.
