      That would be a very nice setup with 7.3 but cost would be a factor. Still watching marketplace and craigslist for a 6.0 truck or van for sale though.

      It has been a while since I have done an update but was able to get out in the shop for a couple days this week and work on the truck.

      Adding bracing to the floor and finishing cleaning up the rust and welds. the bottom now has epoxy and seam sealer done.


      The roof had been well used over the years and pretty beat up so made a new skin and while I was there lowered it 3/4 of an inch to give it more of a hotrod look that I am after. I am trying to get it all welded up and and epoxy on the whole cab this weekend but not sure I will have time.

      It's been a while! I moved out into the country with a much bigger shop for my projects and also more room for customers cars. After spending about five months cleaning up the new property and shops I was able to finally have a little time to work on my own truck. So here is a long overdue update!

      Mock up of the newer frame. I added 34 inches to the wheelbase.


      Here it is mostly welded up. I still need to c notch the rear and make some new front suspension. My plans are to add a gooseneck for hauling customer cars down the road and when not towing a trailer restore the towtruck rigging for visual fun.
