She’s looking good! Gotta love the one step forward, 3 steps back when we change our mind 3/4 the way thru something, lol.

Not sure if that’s something that’s allowed here, if not, I apologize, done purely in humor.

Ok, digging thru the tire and wheel drawer was a success, we have front floats! Thanks to vincen47 for opening my eyes to this over sight. So, here is yet another mock up of where we are going……

How do you not just love this thing ? All the junk…, er, tools in the back is just icing on the cake, great build!

Glad to see you’re making progress on this . Looks like you got a handle on things too.

Thanks guys, now that I’ve got some color on some things, and some parts rounded up, I’m feeling better about this build, lol

Great idea, I’ll have to see what I’ve got for tires in the parts stash, hadn’t even thought of that…

Cool project, it’s cool to see a bare bones work truck ( as much as I like rigs drooling with chrome, lol) squirrel repellent is unheard of around here, best you can hope for is they attack your buddies bench more often than yours……..haha…..

Thanks guys. Made a headache rack today, got more stuff glued to the frame and found a set of tool boxes I had laying around from AITM that I think will go on it as well, hope to get some primer on the frame later. I’ll probably put some spot lights and maybe an amber rotator on the rack if I can find something in the parts bin.

Coming along nicely, nice touch adding the air lines.

I can’t wait to see this come together, what a cool approach to a cool looking rig.

Just went thru this again, what a wonderful job so far on this, keep at it!

Interesting, our local Walmart had that display a few months ago, I wonder if they are giving it another go around, or if yours just got them late……

Looks great so far, and I am really digging your color scheme, I like putting two or three ‘odd’ colors together.

This is gonna be a cool build, I’ve got a few bed buggers in the stash with no good decals as well. that interior is fantastic, great job.

Nice start. I battled this kit a number of years ago, spent what seems like forever doing body work on the sleeper, then paired it with another tough build, an AMT tanker…..

Great progress so far, looking good! Your work space looks pretty sweet too!

Thanks guys, got some more work done today , front axle is installed, tag axle is completely mounted, axle backing plates and brake chambers on, and got part of the motor built. colors are still in the air, every time I think I know, I change my mind, haha!

Beautiful looking car, well done. That blue just pops!

Wow, great looking build, love the color!

In the mail yesterday,

Looking good! This color really suits this body.

Those are indeed the kit wheels

Cool project, that color looks really good on this body, I have a stalled build in that color…
