I'd love to stick a Cummins in a crew cab dent side. 79 square light

Square lights are awesome as well. Those are just beefy built trucks

Finally got all the replacement steel welded in, cut out the rotten chunks of cross member, decided to just leave what was still solid. A little extra support won't hurt. Time to start wire wheeling and designing a rear bumper.

Feel free to post them up here. It's related, I'm sure a few would like to see. I'm going to redo the wood deck

Looking good. Wish I had time for a cool project like this. Bet you're having a blast.

Rumor has it that GM has an all new design coming out in 2019. There are some spy photos floating around from the proving grounds.
Sorry, didn't mean to ruin your Ford (black panther) party.

That's pretty clean man! How bout a few close ups of how you built the hitch. I'm either going to have to attempt to graft a factory hitch on to this truck and make it work with the bed and rear bumper, or do something like this.

How soon are you planning on completing it? just FYI I happen to have a B&W Hide-A-Ball hitch laying in my shop!

 

[Tramguage1]

also when you go to bolt down the deck boards, use trailer deck screws, similar to the photo below.

you have to predrill but they are Torx head counter sunk and work fantastic.

I've got a gooseneck ball ready to go on it. Its got a solid plate welded to the frame with a hole for a ball. I wish it didn't so I could do a hide a ball!

That's the screws that were in it. Man they are a b**** when they rust out though.

The plate is welded? That sucks, should never weld to a truck frame. Your work looks good so far.

I know your done now but, I've found when removing the old boards with this type of screw you cut between the cross members with a skill saw and beat the boards with a sledge to snap the screws. Because they never come out when trying to remove them.

There hardened so there brittle. I normaly use a cutoff wheel on the ones that dont come out.
