    Since I am on vacation this week I have time to start on my floor boards and tunnel. This is what I got done so far this week. If all goes good I should have all the floor finished.

    Thanks guys, hopefully I will have it finish by Friday. I'm amazed how solid the body is getting just by putting the floor in it. Being the first build for me I guess you guys know how things work but it amazes me anyway.
    Aww... the simple things of life.

    Finished the floorpans today. Will get the firewall done tomorrow and then I can pull the body back off the frame to do the finish welding underneath. I ended up with more foot room than I thought I would have. A big plus there.

    Also sent the tranny off this week to have a friend go through it and check it out for me before I go a purchase a driveshaft. No need wasting that money on a driveshaft if I have to change trannys.

    Hopefully I can get this thing on the road by spring. One large problem I may have is finding a title for a 46 truck, anyone got one they arent using???

    Thanks, got to finish the firewall now. The column drop was a gift from DMW56 from New Mexico.

    Fabricated the tank mount also this week. Used 18 gage to make it. Also will glue two strips of rubber on the mounts for a tight fit.

    Are you going to build your own gas tank too?
    I'm taking the 25 gal stainless out of mine and am going to make something smaller.
    Also what about hi build primer. I hear it covers a lot of pits and cracks.

    Found a tool box at the Army/Navy Surplus Friday. $12.00 for a old field generator toolbox. Couldn't have made a better fit if I had made it myself. A quick trip through the glass blaster and a coat of primer. Looks good to me.
