Brian,How about that LoneStar,sweet truck and wouldnt that be a sweet model to build .Hey,that thing has got a wood floor in it..SRT,we've been gettin new trucks in for them the last month and ahalf..And you waiting on parts,that normal frm tex.trk.center..

Hey Gang,
I had some sort of computer issues since the last post, I think I fixed it. Anyways, Here's the rear sleeper artwork I'd like to put on the truck.

WARNING: Contains a middle finger and 5 half-nude women. ENJOY.

Hey Gang,
I've finally have sometime tomorrow to work on the truck . Hopefully I'll have some progress for you.
What, no comments on the rear of the sleeper??

OK folks, Got some Major updates here for everyone. Frame cut and reattached, driveline redone, sleeper door cut out, axles in place, motor build. Photo's pending, will have them up shortly.

Cab's Off from frame.

Frame cut.










More on the way.

Progress looks intensive and good...

Really nice progress Brian!

Thx Martyn, and Ko. Hope to have more done this weekend.

A mobile workshop...cool! Nice job on the frame stretch. I'd box that section in, if not the rest of it too, for added strength depending on how big/heavy the sleeper will be.
Looking forward to more!....

Thx Bob,
That's the plan, box that baby. I didn't bring the stuff with me to do that however, like a knucklehead I left it at the house. I'm going to chop the sleeper up shortly, still planning that out, then tackle the doors again. (That's what the blue tapes for.) The driveline was a bit of a PITA. Had to adjust the length (shorten it) to fit. Measure twice, cut once .

Anyways, In the mean time I'm going to slap some paint on the motor and other parts. Looking into a Vinyl Top kit, Black, to maybe top the sleeper and cab with. Not sure yet.

UPDATE: Made it home today. . 6,222 miles put in over 26 days.

Anyways, I hope to have some work done on the 359 while at home. Tackle the frame issue and sleeper. Found my work-area in garage a sham, apparently a stray cat go in and dumped some of my work on the concert floor!!!!!! Armorama projects too boot, but nothing that I'm currently work on. THX GOD.

So, bear with me. Thx.

Update: Sorry for the delay everyone, Had a ton of "Honey Do" Projects to do. All you married guys know exactly what I'm talking about.
Reworked the driveline with help from Mike (TacFireGuru) today. Thx again Mike. Looks better than before. Leaving out tomorrow, will be taking it with me.

Drive safe Brian!

With my hand being non-functional, if you need some tools, etc....let me know. Something tells me I won't be able to build for another 2 to 3 weeks at best. Stoopid is...stoopid does.

Mike

Let's see...a drill press, double compound miter saw, AB and compressor,{got a few honey do-n't wanna do things}... a couple of rail kits{you obviously can't build them now}.......
...your hand worked fine last week on that heated post.....oooooooooooooh he ain't happy!{where's the "I'm ducking my head after this one" emoticon?} ....I'll shaddup now....

.

UPDATE: I've done alittle more work to it, cut out the bunk and adding bracing for the sleeper stretch plus floor. Hope to have some photo's soon.

Also removed the old frame bracing and adding some new ones. I've got the wrong size stock to box the frame out. That might have to wait for now.

Well, here's an Update.
Removed divider.


New drineline. Thx, TacFireGuru! Fits outstanding!


Views from inside.

More Progress photo's..............
Frame repair.

More work done.
Add extra rear under plate for sleeper extension.


Cab, Sleeper removed.

Everything back. Dry fitted.

Yet more work done last night. I pulled the front frenders in up against the hood an gave it a "Hot Rod" look I think. "The evil that men do...."






Lay out of the new sleeper to follow soon. Lowering the front end to follow also.
Stay tuned.

Hey gang,
Done some work on it since last post however not had time to upload photo's of progress.
Anyways, I'll try to have some posted around the 8th or so.
Thx.

Hey Gang.
OK, Here we go. NEW PHOTO'S !!!! 30 new ones, but I'm not posting all of them. http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/oo6/BigfootV to see them all.





Pages 2-8 are the build. Pages 6, 7, 8 are new photo's

Verticle headlights...now that's different. I can't tell from the angle of the shot, are they on brackets or are they going to be molded in?

Hi Bob,
Headlights are on the brackets, removed them from the brackets and remounted them at about a 30 deg. angle off the fender. Here's some better pix.







Hope these help.

BUILD UPDATE: Not much to report on build. Just got back to the house last night. Hope to work on it some while here, going to LHS to grab some stock for the sleeper build up. Hopefully get that started.
