Only just realised looking at your pics but the rear window and quarters are bigger on a 40 than a 45.Trimmed the lower sheet metal. Should get a bunch done with the 3 day weekend.
Unless the coming storm brings snow to my local mountains, then I am going wheeling.
Also got my title today.......win.

Jack, your builds are so fun, because it doesnt take 3 years, it only takes 3 weeks!!!
Did you consider light blue like your doors
This is a nice color for a 45
Got more welding done tonight. I managed to warp the hell out of the rear panel. No worries though. You never see it once the bed is on......lol.

Nice tig work !I did a 8” stretch and it was just enough to get a set of 2018 toyota tacoma seats in and still have leg room I am nearly 6’. Find your seats and make sure they will fit.
Yes they are a bit thick but plenty confy

Here is what i used i had to do a body lift to make the body fit on the modified and extended 55 frame so i machined some tough material Delrin to what i was needing. the bottom spacer will be remachined with a thicker piece to take up the space on the underside of the body mount. Hockey pucks thinking worked out well material is tough.Body mounts: Not sure what you are using but I used hockey pucks on mine in 1995, no issues for 11 years then she got parked. It was my dd and off road beast.
Great work as usual Jack! Have you mentioned where you’re planning to mount the fuel tank?
Wow, fast progress. For the rear window, will the lower left radius just be different than the others? Or will you cut one out from the other hardtop side piece?
