    Post up some pics of your cab, bed, etc... I think folks are interested in seeing what you are starting with for the body - I know I am. Welcome and good luck on your build!!!

    The stuff that rolls out of Matt's shop is just awesome. I can't wait to see how this one ends up. I attached some pics of a frame and a chop that Matt did for me a couple years ago. On top of doing terrific work he's a super nice guy. I'm still saving my money to roll something back to his shop.
