Looks good and looks like alot of work. Good luck on that. Maybe one of these days I'll see you mobbing it out in Pismo.

That one piece is great. Who did the bedsides, or were they pulled?

front clip is Mcneil, and bedsides are Hannemann. And I instaled them but in the pics there are just hanging there.

Nice!

What size tubing are you using for your cage - 1.5" Dia/0.120" wall? How are you going to handle cab movement with the cage tied into the frame (just leave a gap between cage and floor)? Also, do you have a shot from the back where I can see exactly where you came through the cab?

Thanks.

Ita all 2"x.120 tubing, score legal. Im trying the cab to the cage as much as possible with sheet metal to make them 1 piece so they wont move. Boxing in the frame and hard-facing to stop frame flex. I will get your pic up tonight for ya.

Looks great so far!

The wire harness weighs what, 50lbs? I know there's a solution to that, but it involves a lot of %@&!# time. And no one likes running wires like that.

Keep us updated Josh, looks like it coming together great!
