Ha, I just meant that the frame actually still has the original engine after all these years.

I started working on the bed sides. Using 20ga. steel and grafting in two VW bus engine vent louvers on the drivers side and a solid panel on the passenger side.

Laughing out loud here, haven't heard maypop since I was a kid. Thanks for that. :D

Started the sheet metal work under the doors on the cab. The tubing will serve as the bottom of the rocker panel.

Also going to rebuild the cab corners.

and the alarm system works great!

LOL! I've got one of those alarms too!

Like the video, your project is flying along. Great progress. I think I missed somewhere how the head lights flip around?

Thanks! For now, the headlights rotate manually thru a spring mounted arrangement. Lift up, rotate 180 degrees and drop back into a slot. I rarely drive at night, so not much of an issue. I'll look into a cab control arrangement if I decide to keep these lights.

While building this truck, I wanted to make sure that I could park it inside my security fence and close the gate

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U...307_103844.jpg

Thats got to be at least a 1/4" to spare!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-t...307_103855.jpg

Also got some work done on the drivers side

Good thing the trailer hitch wasn't installed!

Started smoothing off the hundreds of tack welds on the headlight filler panels.
