k100 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) This is my latest project , I started it a few years ago I cut the cab down to a day cab the original plan was a single axle short city hauler, but I decided to go with duals. I also lower the cab by an 1/8 inch . Edited October 22, 2018 by k100
chuckyr Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Nice start. Leave those cancer sticks alone. Edited March 19, 2018 by chuckyr
PacificEd Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 I like this a lot. I've always wanted to build one as a single drive but the dual looks good. It reminds me of a Kroger truck.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 I really like this project!! I like cabover daycabs though. Looks great so far!
martinfan5 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Very cool, reminds me of the opening scene of Beverly Hills Cop( dont know if those were GMCs)
bigred63 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Nice, this reminds me of the Chevy's and GMC's my company used to use in the 70s and 80s.
Truck parts Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Great looking build so far. How much did you remove from the cab ?
k100 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Posted March 25, 2018 Thank you for the comments . Gordon : I took an 11/4 out of the cab
k100 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Posted March 25, 2018 I got the interior cut down also got the engine rear suspension together today.
clayton Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Lucky you,I took out too much and ended up with a 60" cab.

k100 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Posted March 30, 2018 I got the rear cab mounts reposition , still have a little tweaking to do .
towman1271 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Cool looking project.. great job on the bodywork
DrKerry Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 That's looking really good!!! I don't smoke either but have lighters around for heating plastic as needed!!!
k100 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks guys for all the comments . The front tires looks a little narrow , have to address that issue .
Day 2 Muscle Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Man this is looking good...almost cut mine down , but changed my mind. Maybe the next one. So, I'll be following along as you do yours. Might get some ideals.... Hope you don't mind the pic. Robert Edited April 2, 2018 by Day 2 Muscle wrong pic
k100 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 Thank you Robert Mine started out as a single axle also , I decided to go with duels . Yours look great I like the beefy tires you got on it , Thanks for posting the picture.
k100 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Posted April 15, 2018 I've been busy this weekend , got the back window cut open , got the air tanks and lines in .
k100 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) I took care of the norrow front wheels.I could go a little more but it will do. Edited April 16, 2018 by k100
gatorincebu Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Nice work thus far ! I like the dual drive . I have only cut down one cab and that was a Peterbilt, haven't built the truck yet. I also did the Freightliner as a day cab with duals . And have plans to do a KW as well. So I will be watching this project . Be Well Gator
