My First Big Rig Build

[Jefbo]

Hi all,

This is my first Truck Build. Size was pretty intimidating at first. I don’t know much about trucks so I had to do a lot of research. She's about 90% done. I still need to add airlines and some plumbing & wiring. Also need to rub out the clear. Oh yeah... I just found the shifter I dropped on the floor 4 months ago, so I can add that.

I don't know what happened to the middle of the build photos

I did enter it in a contest that had a "big Rig" theme class, and won first place

OK... It was the only big rig entered

Great job on your first rig!

Great looking Truck!! The big Ford looks well and would look great pulling a Reefer trailer in polished Aluminum or white.

Very nice work!! The paint job is one of the best I've ever seen too!! It's friggin' scary if this is your first truck build. There is no romm for improvement when your first try is the top shelf. But, did you see that you forgot the crankcase dip stick? The pic that shows the engine sitting by itself the dip stick is not there. But, who am I to judge as my work is many levels below this.
