Well got the chassis all built ..just had to move the front axle forward to look in line with the wheel well and dry fitted the cab and marked off where the pipes will be drilled to be installed ..i will be drilling the holes for the cab accessories and drill and tap the floor mount .BTW i named this truck "SledgeHammer" i think it fits it and my wife picked out the colours today for it and i figured out the paint scheme for it ..installed a set of Steve Ingraham aluminum 10 hole bud wheels and the bumper will have lights .here is the truck so far

i took 2 pics of this truck ..one with a short aluminum fuel tank that is factory stock for this truck back in the day and i took a second pic with a longer tank ..i am thinking the longer tank .Barbara ,my wife thinks the shorter tank looks better because she says it shows more frame,what do you guys think?.the pipes will be tucked in like that and i will scratchbuild the air cleaner...stock or the snorkel type?
