Since swapping axles I'm happier with how things are coming along now. Still a ton of work but closer then I was.

Put in some work last night.
First I mounted the sliders, cab fits great around these.


Then I started working on inner fenders, such a pain but worth the work. These are going to look much better painted.

[hillbillyrc]

Finished the other inner fender, much easier. I still need to mount the floor pan to the chassis. That will be next



After fitting the cab and remounting the flatbed. I tossed on a spare tire. Not sure about it maybe. Swap it for something else.

Well I mounted the floor pan a little bit ago and I'm on vacation till December so I should be able to find some time to get more done hopefully.

Floor mounted

My side brackets for mounts


Roll bar to cab height is about spot on.

Finally mounted the body with some dual lock Velcro. I did have to use some e6000 on the body side mount plate and the back side of the Velcro so it wouldn't rip off.


Very secure if I say so myself. That is the whole weight of the front of the truck lifted by a finger no other support.


Haven't decided if I will make a mount in the back of the cab or not.

Next is electronics mounting and paint and bodywork.

This is a great thread, is this thing still in the works?

I still have it but it's sitting in a box atm. I need to clean up a work space to finish it. I need to get some soldering tools to put my electronics in. I'm kinda stumped on the interior and making a dash. Might just wait and make it work first.

[hillbillyrc]

I think I have the interior figured out, it's very rough right now but I have a direction I can work towards.



Just a pic with a tool box I picked up a while ago


One step back I'm changing the transmission up it will still be forward motor but something a little more compact, waiting on shipping. Another set back the driveshaft is bought for t-case to front axle wasn't long enough in need of a 70mm/90mm.
