    I am trying at the moment to figure out how to get the 30 foot tank to my house. Then i can give it a good bath to get all the black mold off.
    It was painted about a year and a half ago so the paint is still in pretty decent shape.
    I have to put all the windows back in the cab and do a complete interior redo!
    The dash has been cut out so i have to figure out what im gonnna do about that!

    Then i have to get the motor running again it was running when it was painted but has been sitting since!

    Personally, I would lose the sleeper and slide the bed forward. I like the eyebrows over the headlights, is that stock? Looks like a "big" project. Should be fun but I think it is going to need a bigger wing to make it fly (ha).

    Great looking hauler, but I do agree with kscarguy: lose the sleeper. Awesome project!
