ROTW
Here's a few pics of my 78. I bought it new . Its been thru a few changes the most noticeable one being the half cab. I stretched the 45 cab 2". The roof is from a 40 . I then had it Linexed inside and out. The tub was rhinolined. It has an OME 2" lift , Aussie lockers front and rear, 4 wheel disks and a 350 chevy .

Damn, I usually find that a lot of 'projects' end up kind of ghetto, but I think that rig looks freakin' nice! Really great job, well done.

Thanks for the nice responces. The seats are from an Izusu Trooper , Its important when you are using a half cab to find seats with a thin back every inch counts. the stock seats backs were just to thick and pushed me toward the steering wheel. I made the lower wall in three pieces. It just bolts together and if I handn't rhinolined it you could just unbolt it and take it out. I ran the unmodified 45 top for several years and there was never really a comfortable sitting position. Stetching it 2" was perfect for me I'm 6'1 and it feels great now.
