In the duck blind...
One thing I have never liked about chopped 80's is that no one really "finishes" the tailgate. It just never looked right with a tailgate shorter than the sides of the "bed." Kind of like a Honda Ridgeline. I was very happy to see how you did this one, it is exactly how I would do the tailgate if I ever chopped mine. Your fab guy did an excellent job!
This is one of the top "chop and rebuild" trucks I've seen on 'mud. Fantastic job.
Agree with all said above, that looks absolutely fantastic. Wonder how much that would cost do have done?

Any updates? This is a beautiful build!
That is cool. I can imagine the comments at the gas station as you are filling it up. "Hey, what is that thing?"
Now you just need to put a flipac on it 
then you will have the ultimate camping vehicle.

Nice job !! really like the color on the truck.

Also, what r u plans for the interior?
Good luck !

Heres a small teaser pic once its all registered ill get some proper photos for all you guys! let me knpw what you's think!
I've been looking for this thread! Love your build. Do you have any close up pics of how you did the top of the tailgate? I'm trying to figure out how you made it so square and flat? Also, what did you use for the latch assembly?
How the Tundra should have been made... !! Very nice work!
AMAZING WORK MATE
