m3m Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) I finished this a little while ago i built it for my wife, i started with an old beat up bigfoot kit, and used another cab, moved the rear wheel wells forward to a standard bed from the kits camper special, redid the floor etc. I did not have the mirrors or a few other things done in these pics. Everything on the but the engine and trans is scratch built on the frame-suspension. Steering works, shocks, etc. 428 cj from parts box, cut out the grill openings, molded the flares. I have a link to the wip i will post as well as a few pictures.. More pictures in my bucket. Thanks for looking and any comments.

I was just wondering if there was any other suppliers for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondo Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) Although, I'm not much into the big 4 X 4 stuff, this is really a nice build, Jeryd. Years ago a friend bought a brand new '77 Ford XCab and fixed it up like this. It's still a very nice looking body style. I really like what you did to this one. Cool !!
