Here we see Bob K’ s vice in action it’s really the only celebrity tie to this build just some random shots of the axel assembly be sure to use caution when putting in the king pins so you don’t break the shims picture of the frame ready for assembly had some time to get the rear end put in

Nice work! Assembly for the last time always gratifying.

 

Nice work, and that F100 is gorgeous.

 

just some pictures of where we are at now got the frame made into a roller and had to redo/ fix a few things and started to run brake lines had to shorten up the shock mounts because they interfered with the steering ruffing in the f-1 steering box. Up next I will mount the cab to finalize the steering box placement.

before picture of the fire wall and with a little work performed on it little trick I used to hold the patches in the holesand another view of the fire wall with more holes filledgot the cab on the frame. Me thinks it sits a little high in the rear end I am going to take a few leaves out of the rear spring.

In some ways I feel like I’m kinda jumping around on this project but oh well. Taking some time to do some rust repair on the doorsthats the passenger side driver side is about the same

So after finishing the doors I decided to tackle the back or the cab here is a picture of the bracing I put in the cab to keep everything where it should be the first cut and the second cut here is one corner cleaned up if anyone wonders about he stuff from United Pacific I’d say it’s pretty spot on and here’s a picture or the patch panels more to come later

Just plane awesome. Moving right along. Doing a great job, its gonna be a neat little truck when finished. Thanks for sharing the process!!

 

I like what you're doing....nice workmanship

 

So once again kinda jumping around on the truck doing some work that only takes time and no money I started repairing the bed sides probably should have shown how I made this part [As you can see I have lots of welding to do

 

Another part that had to be modified was the thermostat housing took this picture from far away didn’t feel like showing my lack of dime dropping ability
