I got the frame all assembled.It will see the paintbooth on Tuesday.
Not sure if everyone paints the frame before or after they have assembled it.This just seemed easier.
Thanx for lookin'

Does the truck in your reference pic have a 48" sleeper? Hard to tell for sure from that angle. If so, you'll need to shorten the kit sleeper to match.

I got the bunk sides chopped down.
This pic shows the kit bunk side with the now chopped down bunk panel.
Here is the bunk mocked-up with the cab from P & P resin.
I just need to chop the top down now.
Thanx for lookin'
