Cool that they cut the bedrails on angle like that. Not too many people would bother.

Picking up the frame rail tomorrow. Sorry its been awhile since I have updated this post. I will get some fresh pics soon, The cab is on the bed is shorten. Should see paint in a few weeks. Ill try to update after I deliver the frame rail.

I have some update photos. Before anyone says it looks good with the 3rd axle in it. Im taking it out.. BUT I do agree it does not look bad at all. Now I have a 39 Ford rear window panel that I am going to build a complete new hard top out of it. As matter fact I have few of these, I am going to install sun roof for the front and rear along with new glass cut for the 39 ford panel. I got the frame today, so Its all coming along nicely. I do need some axle perches from a front if anyone has any, plus u blots... Please advise..

There's a crew cab one up for auction on ebay right now. More than I can afford.

Rodman, it appears that your lift frame has what you need, or am I missing something???

Has anyone notice how I got the bed to sit close to the second cab?

 

[jesusgatos]

How's the clearance at the back of the cab there? Looks like the tires on the forward rear axle are pretty close...

Im thinking of doing a bobbed crew cab with a little short bed like those chevy trucks they used to make.

I am removing one of the axles so that axle is going to be going back some.

Thanks, WE are taking our time on this build not rushing anything. It may not be the fastest build; but its going to look good when its done.
