Wow yall are making great progress! And those pictures look great too. Gotta love that Louisiana weather. Shorts in January! 🤣 it's 34 degrees here. Keep up the good work.
I have a friend who is considering one of these for his landscaping business. Would it be appropriate for hauling dirt and grading on 1-2 acre lots, or is it overkill? He has a skid steer, but sometimes needs a little more power. And I'm trying to spread the "green disease" 🤣
You will need a 13/16" Budd socket. Might find one at Oreilleys, definitely at a parts store that caters to semi trucks
Edit: online they are listed at Home depot and Lowe's.

Just a thought: how is the alignment of your door to the cab? I thought my passenger door latch was stuck. Turns out my latch works fine, the door just sticks in the frame.
Subscribing to watch your progress. This is going to be a great build. Also I know very little about these trucks and I'm learning a lot from yall. Shared knowledge is the best. Congrats again, Ken! Looks like you have another keeper.
