More pics...sorry it took so long, btw the bags are down in all of these pictures, the ones I purchase have a built in bump stop.

just track bar and bags. It was off a mid 2000 freightliner. I had to purchase shorter air bag to make the stance correct also had to get a driveshaft, carrier bearing made. I will take some more pics.

1.what thickness sheet metal did you use for the cab and floors? 16 ga 2. Did the 2x8's get you in the ball bark with height and then some fine tuning with the bottle Jacks. Yes the 2x8 got it close to mount the 2nd cab rear cab mount, the bottle jacks to aling the front of the 2nd to the rear...

Almost ready for Saturday!

inspection went fine, I beleive it was 46 3/8 that we removed from the bed. This was with remooving the factory hoist/tire mount.

Bed is painted, spent the weekend wiring up my reverse lights, plate light and some seals for my windows. Getting inspected tomorrow. Still need to finish up the tire mount and crane and finish the seat for the rear of the crewcab.

I hope to be there for Johns gathering. Here are a few more pics. I managed to break a window over the weekend. It has since been replaced. Taking the two passenger seats and makign one long seat.

Sorry, spent the spare hours picking up pipe to extend the air intake and exhaust pipes. Also got plates for it yeserday. We did place the final coat of paint on the interior floor last night. Hope to get the dash painted today.

yet , shortening the stock bed. I have no cargo cover..one less thing to do.

One final coat of green this morning , and I am done painting with exception of the bed and touchups. I am no painter. Turned out well, not a show room finish yet at least I wont be afraid of scratch or two form a branch/tree. Srodocker, I will try to get some measurements when I can crawl...

smoke. I would assume a good solid 200 man hours so far, between myself, brother and friends. And that would not be counting the hours , with beer in hand, talking about what we should be doing.

Here a re few pictures of the paint process. Rinsed her off outside first . Started with a flat black on the lower side then finished with the green up top. Going to let it sit overnight then place one more coat of green on the cab. Then I begin the oh so fun job of cutting the bed.

Well what I thought would be 1 day of body work, with work has turned into a week. Hopefully primer tomorrow.

Another day of body work and I should be ready for primer. Also hope to finish getting first coat of primer on interior tomorrow.

6x6 all the way.

finished up the rough in where the cabs meet. I extended the angle over to give a foot rest, then created a future storage area and cup holder locations. Also finished up the door/window jams. Hope to finish seam sealing this weekend with a good coat of paint on the floor using the 3M ceramic...

Got the roof and floor completed this weekend. Just need to finish the window jams up a bit before I can start sealing her up.

we thought about doing suicide doors with the rears of the cabs going together. yet with having a hardtop that we wanted to reuse, we would have to then stretch the rear of the cab. Still thinking of swapping the rear cab door jams for suicide doors, this way passengers could share the same set...

Thanks, best part of the project was that I missed that horribble effort from the Steelers on Sunday.
