    Looks like an interesting challenge. Would be too much for me but I'm not that good a metal man anyway. Keep us posted. Thanks, BOBBY FORD

    WOW ...........

    Nice job , one question and please don't take this the wrong way , but i notice there are no seams on the floor panel , will they not buffer and make noise?

    NIce work though . it's come a long way . I looked at the first pics and thought " no fucking way" I never stop being amazed at some of the work you people do.

    Cheers Hank.

    By the time the seat frame is welded in it should be fairly vibration noise free.I'm taking that chance.

    I really don't know how this truck is getting done. I have spent some time in this garage, and all they do is eat pizza, drink beer, and tell dirty jokes.
