Wow, totally awesome, you should have board use with the details on the frame.  How long did the frame take to get together and is this an idea off the top of you head?  What a beauty!

Thanx! I can't remember exactly how long it took to build the chassis. I started this around four years ago. I think around a week or longer. Everything I made was my own design.

Very nice. The rear window really catches my attention. Is this stock (except for chop)? Its reminiscent of a '57 Ranchero.

 Looks great!

Thanx! Yeah, it's the stock rear window. Just shorter. It was quite nerve racking cutting down 57 year old glass! I attempted to make new glass for it. But, couldn't make any that fit well enough.

Wow I really like this truck. What did you use to build your chassis? I've been wanting to build my own chassis for the Lindberg F150 4×4 and convert it into a street truck.

Thanx Matthew! There are a lot of different pieces used. Too many to remember. The main frame rails were made with  .100 x .156 (2.5 x 4") rectangular strips from Evergreen.

I already commented once, but I have to say, this is one of my all time favorite builds from anywhere! Fantastic, tasteful, and skillfully done, LOVE it!

Thanx again guys, I appreciate the comments! This is my all time favorite model! I doubt I'll ever be able to build another that I'll like better. But, it won't keep me from trying!
