Very nice.. I think you really nailed the proportions.... can't wait to see the fenders on... I ended up with 36 Chevy Master fenders in FG that I felt had a similar flow to my front fenders....
More progress, Lance Rice and the crew at Rice Performance have the bed running boards roughed out. https://duallyproz.com/ milled the 16.5" rear rims to accept 16" tires. The aggressive Interco rear tires have been replaced with a highway style tread to better match the fronts. Next steps include lengthening the rear fenders, boxing the running boards. Paint is getting closer.
getting really close now, I spent a lot of time trying to get the stance correct, I'm happy with it details (tail light bolts are going to be replaced with button heads)
So what's the rest of the combo ... chassis year and make, engine/trans and what are you doing for steering mech.
I bought it this way; Chassis is a late 80s Chevrolet 3/4 ton van (G30). 350 SBC engine and Turbo 400 trans. Steering box looks to be a GM unit mounted vertically? Wheelbase was 133" it's now 118" The bed is a 9' custom build from https://pros-pick.com/ in Arthur, Ontario Andy
That's the chassis I've been seriously contemplating solely for the purpose of simplified steering. The chassis is the same width in front as the original COE frame and the steering box is in an ideal spot. How about engine fit - does it fit in the doghouse ??
