Default Proline F250 with K10 bed



Just got the bed together. It's going to be a bit long for the WB4. I'll see what we can do. Stay tuned.

This is for my son so I probably shouldn't spend a ton of time to make it perfect as it may get beat up pretty good. Headed out to get paint tomorrow.

I also posted this in the thread about using the proline Toyota cab with this cage. It suffers from the same problem. I cut and drilled a piece of U channel to extend the rear of the frame a bit.

Thanks I'll check it out. Does it affect the departure angle when you extend it or is it high enough that it has no effect?

I'm just finishing mine up. I ended up using the stock body mount locations, custom links, GCM driveshaft adapters & Junfac driveshafts for a Wraith.

Still waiting on the driveshafts to arrive to confirm they fit, but I'm 99% positive all will be good.

I ended up with a 350mm wheelbase

Very nice. I got the cage mounted tonight. Still have to decide how to deal with the rear mount. I don't want to go that long.

Ernie yes Rhett was right next to me. He painted the fuel tank. Paints about 1/4 inch thick but it will work

Soooo my son decided he wanted to drive the truck today so he did his own rear body mount with popsicle sticks and electrical tape. Got to love it. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Great Job Rhett!!!! I love to repurpose! It surprises me that you would want a bronco body????

Do you need some material to use in that nice looking tubing bender? I'm still working on your guys box.

I came down to work on my bronco chassis and discovered Rhett has started an interior in his truck at the expense of my blazer interior. Looks like Hunted Dan will be piloting his beast. It also looks like he is claiming the seats Ernie sent.
