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.

Found out the truck does have a 48" stand-up bunk.Thanx for catching that.

I got the bunk sides chopped down.

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'

Thanx I appreciate that.I was going to originally use a set of fenders from P & P resin but the person I'm building the truck for didn't like them.

So I got the hood,cab, and bunk primed and the fenders based.

So here's what I found when I pulled the tape tonight.

I thought I had got the tape to form around the door trim really good but I guess I was wrong.They are easily fixed.

Thanx for lookin'
