Re: C 5000 build
That is funny! When I lived in California I loved driving out there (except when it would finally rain) but now I'd avoid it. I think the entire country hates driving through Ohio and those traps. They nailed me for 96 in a 65 and took me to jail on the spot!

Re: C 5000 build
I really do like these builds, but I am sorry I have to walk away from this one...
Bodylines don't match cab-to-bed, wrong generation bumper too, rain caps are backwards from every one I have ever seen... *shakes head* I do like your jig for the frame, that was very well executed.

Re: C 5000 build
Well, Devin, it's like this. The bed was cheap. I spent a year looking for the right bed, before giving up hope. Another year went by before I got the right one. The rain caps are on correctly. If you put them on the other way, air flow while driving will either close them or be driven down into the pipe. This includes any water or snow that may be with it.

Re: C 5000 build
Thanks for all the comments! I hope to either sell it or get back to it by spring. I've got several 67-72 trucks to get done first.
