GREAT WORK!!!!!! I'm a huge fan of older dodge trucks (hence my name 76 warlock). I'll be watching this build for sure. Keep up the great work!
You go girl

Did you have to modify the IFS hubs to fit the 1.55 wheel bolts? Are those the 2nd gen wheels? Looking GREAT!

Thanks
Dave

They are the 2nd gen wheels and spin right on.

Thanks for all the support guys!

The step just above the fender lips are way too pronounced, compared to the '76 Power Wagon I got rid of last year anyway. Otherwise looks fantastic! I like the pre-78 body...

Great job!

Colby · 01-31-2010, 08:01 PM

I hate you for this build!! Keep it comming!!!

NatalieMorgan · 02-04-2010, 08:49 AM

Got the tail lights roughed in. I modified some F350 lenses and led holders. They arent exact to the 1:1 but they are close. I also wanted them to light up so just hackin some in out of styrene wasnt gonna cut it. Got the tailgate mostly finished. Need to straighten out the right side a little more. Also do something about the roll pan. its still too Chevy looking. These should be the last set of pics without primer! Then its time to start the grille!

team3six · 02-04-2010, 08:52 AM

looks good nat. looks good

crunky · 02-04-2010, 08:59 AM

wow i wish my wife did shit like this.... then again i would be pretty damn pissed cause all her stuff would be nicer than mine...
then again, if it turned out anything like her shoe fetish i would be up to my eyes in scalers.

your rig rocks !

SAL45 · 02-04-2010, 09:01 AM

Wow....the back looks really good! The tailgate looks really amazing! Awesome job. I can't wait to see how you do the grill

Hotrodblder · 02-04-2010, 10:28 AM

Which model year do you plan on doing the grille after? Sin '77 & '78 are pictured in the top 2 pics and the '79-'81 is pictured with the Orange truck picture?

SICK work btw. I just hope my skills are as good as your's. Thanks for letting me know that I can do a project like this and that you wouldn't be offended if I did a thread so people can see mine, too.

microgoat · 02-04-2010, 02:55 PM

Enough of the easy stuff. Make with the grille, toots.

im doin the 77-78, I poster the 79-80 just for reference of the different stripes. I was undecided at the time but I liked the hood better on the 77. Had more of a muscle car feel to it. Cant wait to see how your build goes! It will be nice to see a couple more of these out there! I think it just took someone to get the ball rolling.

Hotrodblder · 02-04-2010, 06:03 PM

I will hopfully be ordering my body this weekend if the tips go in my favor at work. I was looking at sheet plastic yesterday and .030 seemed a little thin to me, idk. Can't wait to get started myself.

Stormin2u · 02-04-2010, 06:21 PM
