Yes sir with the 45 body! Gary inspired me by his 45 on a 80 frame

 

[Reservation Cody]

I will be selling it. I would like to sell it with the axles and all.

Any updates?

I like the direction you're heading with build based on the pictures, but I do realize they're a few months old

I hope it's going well for you, or maybe even finished?

I'd love to get my hands on a 45...

*Completely missed the second page disregard the "maybe finished?" comment

From our armchairs we decree this build is traveling too slowly.

Any word Cody?

 

[Reservation Cody]

Well I am working on getting the motor out of the 80 frame today. Yes, I agree going very slowly! Been very busy at work! At this pace it will probably be a 3 year project!! I hope not! Try to get a couple of pics up today of some progress! Haha!

 

[cult45]

Good stuff. We thirst for more news!

 

[Reservation Cody]

A couple pics of the motor removal! That was easy! Now gotta clean up the frame and get it in my shop!

 

[Reservation Cody]

Some progress! Got the frame cleaned up and set the 45 bed on it. The bed is not set in its permanent position on the frame! Looks like it shouldn't be to hard to mount,hopefully tomorrow I will have the cab set on the frame. The tires in the pic are 37 12.50 BFg Baja TAs . Looks like I need a lift now!! Here some pics. Wish I had a bigger shop!

 

[cult45]

Yeeeaaahhh baby!

 

[Reservation Cody]

Some more progress! I got the cab set into place this evening. Now it is time to square up everything shim it up and get the motor and transmission set into it. After that make some body mounts! And here is some pictures for you pic whores!
