Default Izzy's new day cab - ???????

It's been a good while since I started a thread, so be kind

I put ???????? since it seems that everybody has a name for their ride, but as of right now I got nothin.....so ?????? it is.

Many have seen it's current look - I had it at Indy, but the CAB was a last minute donor from Fhhhhstix - he was kind enough to see to it that my ride would make it to Indy.

This truck started as a swap for parts - Stylins fenders. From there I ordered up a King Hauler - no brainer right. So I started with the fender mods. Learned about having to "forward the axel" and rounded up some other parts form other swap purchases and so it started taking shape.

So here are some pics from earlier this year - yep it's been a long build - got thte fenders this past March and been working on it on and off since May.

Stock truck except for off road tires



first MOD - donor parts


Fender Hack




mock up placement




fender after cleaning up the rough parts - pretty minor clean up. But I like things as symetrical as I can stand to get it....




some other donor parts .... RICS tanks...... some swapped rims and some SS fronts, I was thinking of a working day cab. I'm not one for show trucks so I thought the black rims added a nice work truck look. With the spoked fronts as a "Working Mans gift to himself" look






more later ....
