  10. Hi, After a small break to visit the wife`s inlaws what joy!! I have finally finished the frame which is now in paint. I made an error with the front shocker which is now in its rightful place, I must have had a senior moment. I put some wire supports on the front axle to stop it bending upwards. It`s curbside with half a cummins block in place, Now on with the interior. Thanks for the comments, The cab dimensions are from a downloaded spec sheet which i enlarged to scale size. The rest is from pics. More soon .
