Taking the weekend to work on the truck.. Not too much left but there always a timely process.. Something I don't have much of.

Worked on the interior today. I'm using a dinky toyota interior, and also another bench seat for the rear seat. Since the theme of this is a snow truck I had to go with Bob and Doug Mackenzie brothers.. I may regret using them bcuz they are heavy as shit!!

Started off hacking the crap out of the interior for the spur gear, servo winch in the front seat and the transmission in the rear seat.. And then getting the brother's mounted also.. Then proceeded to build a steering column out of brass with some all thread in it.. Just did a slight bend in it and then used a dinky 3 spoke steering wheel..

To hide where the spur gear is cur out in the front seat I'll prolly just use some beer cases to hide it.. And the servo winch just looks a heater core of something..


Next was to do the interior cage.. Just bent up some 1/8 brass and then taped them in place so I could solder it in the truck..
Just tacked it in the truck then pulled it out to give its a good joint..

That's all for today.. Tomorrow in gunna try and tackle the rear bumper..

Got the bumper built today... While brain storming and thinking of what to do I painted the interior, head ache rack, and interior cage..

So these are the first 4 pieces..

Then the next 4 pieces for the drop down where the toe ball and license plate will go.

This is all cleaned up..

Still got to get it mounted witch is gunna be the hardest bcuz of the functioning tail gate.. To tired for that tonight..

Bumper mount figured out.. I mounted it to the tail gate then soldered tabs to the bumper witch then have a pivot point with a longer piece with a slot in it that slides when the tail gate opens and closes... Man that's confusing haha maybe pics will help.. .. Everything worked out great and now in paint stage.. Sliders bumpers are painted next is trimming up some body for tire coverage and then paint..

We can spray it white this weekend in about 30 seconds Latex paint should work just fine

Seriously, bring it by tomorrow. We should be able to find time to get a prime coat or 2 on it between the floors, walls and ceiling remodel.
