Some assembly required.....
Special thanks to @lowtideride for the parts!
Too sexy!
So I am just now noticing the Pig door among all the grave markers. Your shop is near a tombstone business? Or a grave yard... (insert Scooby Doo music here)
Zoinks! The monument company is just down the street. They do all my sandblasting.
Can I ask what is the size on those tyres?
33 X 10.5 X 15
Inching along.
Warn trivia. What does 8274 stand for?
8000 lb, 2 way introduced in 74 which makes it period correct for this lil piggy.
Alright, you have been working on it. looking forward to crawling under it and seeing how you did that swap.
Sneak preview:
Jokes aside, @lowtideride, @bcmotor Gunnar, Frank and Pete the body guy are the craftsmen behind this project. I'm the parts supplier.

New dog box + 100 seats going in.
I know I'd just be in the way, but feel like jumping in and helping with this one! I used to pull all nighters working on the 40, getting it ready for the big camping trip. I believe you'll make it.

Make what-is there a deadline approaching for completion?
I'm wondering who gets to drive this great truck when it's done. Will it be Mel, Lowtide, or some other lucky fellow?
It'll be my new daily driver. I'm trying to get it together before the pig rally in July. I have purchased this air-conditioning to keep things cool along the way.

2017 Pig Party!!
Mel,
That's the a/c several of us have. I've got a little summer use on mine. I'd like to know what you think after you use it in the Summer.

Mel,
Is the tank getting mounted in the stock position and looking at it from your picture, is the other side tapered up for ground clearance? I've got a 60 gallon tank with the back sloped up and it still will hit rocks, at least in Moab. Alum. or steel? I'm assuming this means you might not make the party?
