@RaysGarage-dl4bq I sold the parts a few weeks after I took it apart. The bed pieces were all welded to each other, to the frame, tp everything really, as it was mostly home made. I didn't want to store the entire chassis.
As a school bus driver and old truck owner I love this thing! I’ve been daily driving my all original US ARMY 63 Ford Stepside truck to school to drive bus. I have a 49 Ford F1 and 2000 5.0 Explorer waiting on me to build! Great content!!
Awesome build. Just wondering; did you think of lowering the arches so the gap would be less dramatic. 3 to 4 inches. Maybe half the width of the bumper (where it's doubled) and just ad a innfill plate over the arches. 😅
Merry Christmas to Me! Not sure how I got here but I think I’ll tag along if it’s all the Same to You, Dave watching from South Central Pennsylvania, a Very Merry Christmas to you and yours, along with all else who may read this comment. God bless you happy new year.
@SixPackDan Two reasons really. I always wanted to build a mid engine truck, and because it was too massive of an engine combo to fit under that little dodge cab without being a nightmare to work on. Thanks for watching!
@SixPackDan I figured it was a lot less heat in the cab too. Originally I planned to put a rollback wrecker bed on it and I thought it would be easier for roadside repairs too.
Looks amazing! You do great work. I think you should make the engine cover into a fake sleeper and add some cool exhaust stacks. Great build!
@@billygreenhorn9275 Thanks!
That would look sweet! Kinda hide the engine is outback.
That's an awesome truck that you know excellent job
@@whittlerdave1440 Thank you!
I would have just pulled the cab off and given him the rest and saved yourself many hours taking it apart

Badass build, your work is very impressive. The truck turned out so good.

The rusty cheese wagon 🫠
@@newvintage1554 Totally hauls cheese!! 😀
Just curious, maybe i missed it. But why mid engine? I guess it could have a huge frunk

@@stealthbuilt1 Cool, makes sense to me!

Nice, different, when does the back go on??? Like to see it finished.
105k on a 466 ain’t even broke in good yet.
That's what i was thinking!
What about the bed?
@channelofchannels7845 i was originally planning a roll back, but since have sold the truck to someone building a car hauler on it.
Bus better
