Yeah and there are still tons of them out there today. For dirt cheap.

Truck looks great man. I like that you kept the bed floor low. I did the same on mine.

any more progress ?

volker · 03-08-2013, 06:49 PM

im making some progress here slowly , the roof and pillars have been body worked and primed , the new rockers inner and outer and new cab corners inner and outer are on , the truck appeared to be solid until it was blasted and showed someone already did rockers and cab corners they were hardly welded on so after cutting welding and patching the cab is like new again , last weekend i repaired the cab mounts on the right side after the cage nut in the floor started spinning and need the body mount bolts cut off

silvereagle07 · 03-08-2013, 06:53 PM

Love the look of the cab seam shaved. I am currently working on mine slowly.

Good luck with that. You know how long some of us have waited for the center bolt covers?

silvereagle07 · 03-19-2013, 03:35 PM

Looking good volker. I love the stance and wheel combo.

aggie91 · 04-02-2013, 10:24 PM

Seems like a job just begging for lead.

The whole truck looks awesome man, keep up the good work.

volker · 05-12-2013, 03:11 PM

Been working on the truck in my free time body work is 90% done just to finish off the hood and door jambs , I also installed thread sets in the roof to hold the drip moldings I used 10/32 sets worked out nice
