Chipped away all the old sound deadening as it was impregnated with oil and permeating thru the carpet. Installed new stuff. Took forever! Spliced the wiring into a junction box where it will split to the diferent lights and trailer wiring from there.

Cut the rear pannel, i will put an rv sliding window on it. Built the rear body mount directly on the bottom of the rear frame. Started building the flat deck with 2in x 1/8" 6061 tubing. Turned half the garage into a paint booth to prime and paint all the parts to close the cab. I used black...

E brake cable completed using a generic kit from amazon and connecting it to the stock one. Not the prettiest but it works great.

Blead the brakes , changed the rear calipers, slaped a seat in it. Added some temporary brackets as a level refference point for the flat deck and took it off the jig. Quite a milestone to have a rolling chassis. It will make working in the shop much easier with the ability to wheel it out. I...

Brake lines have been extended and the gas tank is back in. I Also made 6 aluminum brackets that will hold down the roof section in addition to being glued in

Cab rear pannel design

Random pictures of the build

It was a verry tough weld to lay. I am glad that I spent the time and build the skid to support both pieces while de frame was...

Frame extension kit from mckinnon cruisers in Australia. Resonably priced and saved a bunch of work! Well worth it.

Boy its a lot of work! Getting decent progress but still lots to do. The frame extension along with the LCA brackets and new body mounts are now in. The rear rool cage/headache rack is built as well as the new roof section.

Here we go. A week of prep and 20 min to cut! The lazer was mandatory on that job. I also took out the sun roof in anticipation for the roof cut.

The jig is done and the truck is fully secured and level. Ill probably be able to cut the rear tomorrow! Pretty nerve racking, there is no going back now!

Everything is now removed from the rear half of the body including the gas tank and drive shaft. I fabbed up the rail jig and will now build the frames that support the front and rear half independently.
