I am epically slow builder. This project mostly sits in boxes, rather than on the workbench.
Nothing special about the chassis. Not sure I like the 4:1 so it will probably go in favor of pinion reduction. ![]() First order of business was to get headlights. My K100 is later model, lets say 1992. ![]() ![]() ![]() Next was the axle and lower cab "wheelwell" ![]() I need some more clearance on the wheel so may have re-bend the spring a bit more or add spacer. Filling the rear panel: ![]() ![]() I think I may redo the rear cutout. One problem is I think its a little low. And second I bought a set of S&P sweet pipes that are so big they won't fit/hide under the short side skirts. The entire bottom edge may have to move up 1/4" or so. Not sure how I'm going to solve that one. Starting work on the side: ![]() Not much progress for the two years I've had it. ![]() |

That looks good to me! I like seeing more and more of these Globeliners converted to KWs. I'd say you're no slower of a builder then I am. I've been working on the same truck for way to long. Is it five years now? Ugh. But not steady. That's my excuse.

Looking good there, I like the new floor and you did a great job cutting the door out. How do you plan on hinging the door?

Hinges are a pain in the a&@, I made a set using 1/16 brass rod and 5/64 tube on mine, I just couldn't figure out an access problem for my pin. So after a suggestion by ihbuilder, I ended ip with 2 small 3/4 inch brass hinges from the hardware store stacked, take a look at my pete thread or ihbuilders to see if that would work for you.
Love the way the truck is looking Tim |

Man, you guys who can cut with thread. I can't even get it started. It just breaks. This is looking really good! I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. Very nice work so far.
