Haven't doing a lot the scab lately but I did finally got my rotisserie built and installed.
I need to make a kick stand to hold it instead of the 1x6 oak board.

Good job on the rotiss-. I'd suggest putting some framing beside the rollers to keep the rail from falling off.

Upper cab separation panel all welded in.
Just a picture, starting to look more like a single cab
Got my cargo floor all welded in, klassic fab products fit really nice
Test fitting the treasure chest door

So it's been a while since I updated this, got all the load bed installed. Got the gas tank supports installed. This thing g has gotten much heavier with the new metal installed. Started putting POR 15 on over the weekend and what a PITA! But it's coming together slowly.

| Nice single project! I'm up the road in Winchester, if I had some shims I'd run them down as an excuse to check out your truck! |

Hi Kafer60 enjoy your posts and your progress on the Single Cab. You mentioned buying some "hat channels" for the bed. I have been calling them cross-members. The part the bed sheet metals rests on. Can you please give me the name of the shop you bought them from? I have a couple on my 1960 Single Cab that are rusted and need to be replaced.
Thanks!

Empi Sprint stars installed on the rear
Clearance on the passenger side rear
2161 Engine installed
Clearance on drivers side
How do you like my 4" wide sprint stars?
They are tucked, sorta like "Jenner"
