Actually, it does have a back seat.
The area behind the seat is about 2 feet. So I'm not sure yet, how I want to handle it.

They used to make a rake just for shags. I am sure you could find one in a thrift store

I'm still tring to get this up tp date,getting closer,
eng and trans mounted
Test fit body. I'm hoping back of cab will squat rear a bit more.
If not I'll need to adjust for right stance.
That is where I left off, until this year.

So guys, this is the point I'm at for now. Notice that she did get a new "Home", but has to share with the wifes car.
So I had to get creative with space.
Just made arrangements this week, for the body to head to the shop
for the winter.Can't wait for spring already.
My main focus getting this project restarted was the engine.
It's been setting for over six years, without ever being fired.
Add a tri-mil exhaust, and a couple of webers,,,,,
And It RUNS GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now its time to gather small pieces, and start on interior.
Anyone know of a chrome plater? I need the bumpers and grill replated,
Thanks Again,

OK Guys, looking for some help here. I've been looking for this gas cap for a long time. I've seen it on a lot of projects, and just guessing someone knows where one is.
Help an OLD Guy out?
Thanks,

I have a Berry Mini-T project and will be following this thread with special interest. Although the two are very different, it definitely will hold my interest till the end. Keep up the progress pictures, many will enjoy them!

Roger1960.
I'll have to get back with you on the sizes,(stuck at work,
12 Hour days) I do remember the fronts are actually 1/2 taller than the rears, best fit I could find for the width. Think that Tire Rack, still has a comparison chart online.
If I remember tonite, I'll get the sizes for You.

Chad,
Yes this one's plastic too. I just hope to clean it up a little more, and not have to re-chrome. _________________ Back to work after a 6 year lack-of-motivation !

I had one too, it was chromed plastic... I was about to toss it, but, Tc wanted it. Lucky for him he was there to snatch it up, or it would be in the landfill! LOL! _________________ ~X-Man~

OK Guys, Talked with Tom (Kustoms) today about carpet and interior.
Was a real pleasure to talk with him, e-mailed him some pics of what I have to work with.
Now I'm going to wait and see what magic he can come up with.
I did stop by the body shop today,She just got flipped on her back for a tummy rub.
Have a wonderful New Years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Killer build, mate.
Nasty as a rabid dog!
Loving the Cragars & the old school tyre combination.
Get that drivetrain right & it'll go as hard as it looks.
How big is that Weber-stacked motor of yours?
And what sort of tranny are you running? IRS? Swingaxle? What size ring & pinion? _________________ Cheers & God Bless
