Nice work on the single cab!! Where did you guys get the rear corners from, and can you post a pic of the rear cargo floor where it meets the back wheel tub? I cant wait to see that thing at the classic.

Bit of an update regarding the heart of the beast.
Finally got time to finish up the long block, now just waiting on the powdercoaters with the tin.

Ken and I drove out to the island on the weekend to deliver the truck so Jim can do his magic. He says it will be painted within a months time. Looking forward to getting it back...just not the 1700km trip to get it.

A big thanks to Ken who worked diligently to get the underside finished in time to take it to the bodyshop.

Jim and Paul have been going like mad men on this old beast. As of today they have finished the majority of the metal work and have it in primer and all the underside and treasure chest area painted. We are waiting on a correct match for the paint as he wants to start spraying this Sunday Pray
