Re: 75 Dually build

Hey 75, not sure I have much of a legitimate voice here, since I haven't been a part of your thread comment - wise until now. Although yours is one of the first threads that I read when I joined at the beginning of the year. The right word would be amazement at your fabrication abilities, and that you tackle suspension work and modifications yourself. I really like the truck as it sits. With the sleeper, I think there is a difficulty inherent in combining in the two body styles from different eras. Have you considered letting it look like an accessory? Let the contrast be the contrast? You could paint it the secondary of the two colors you choose. Put the ss trim on it. Not worry about the rain gutters. And let it be recognizable as a piece of a cab from the early sixties? I think trying to integrate that sleeper whether it's gutters, roof lines, C pillars etc, would be a lot of work and net a unit that may lose the coolness of its origin. So for what it's worth, I was just racking my brain about a way to have it be a part of your build, without the difficulty of grafting it on to your truck.
