I missed that you stretched it again. Party on. what will new final wheelbase be?
37s are the new 35s. That would help the breakover, lol.

Frame done. Now to get on the body!

I ran out of time, but was able to line body tub up and get the first two pieces tacked in
Are you going to test fit the hard top?

I should, but it may be once it is done, but yeah I need too. I have pulled measurements on the top front to back and it all appears to be correct on the length. If I can get a neighbor to help me set the top on, I might do that. I would hate for it to not fit after all this work. It would be a lot easier to just drop a side on rather than the whole top. This truck has been rolled and the body tub was so tweaked when I got it that I am surprised anything fits. This is why I have no problem cutting this up and doing whatever with it.

Dang. That's awesome.
What he said
You are making me think I should sell the hardtop(s) I just bought to do a 10 in stretch and just by one like you did and stretch the body and frame 4 more inches!!! That looks like a lot less work than stretching the top!!
Looks awesome!!
Nailed it!
It's going to be such a head scratcher for people because it will look like a 43 but with the rear axle moved rearward

They are cool, but I do not like all the overhang for a wheeler.
