One thing is a must. big rig stacks right behind the cab. maybe put a exo cage on it that ties into the back. definatly a tool box. cool rig though.

Sure glad to see yer doin' somethin' with it! Man seein' that thing sure does bring back memories of when I first torched the C-J 5 body off and spent many nights in the garage.  I do have some pictures of the build up to where it was when I sold it to ya, when I find them I'll post them up!
Lookin' good!
BTW.....the rig was 99% born in "Utica" Michigan (22 mile and Van Dyke), I got the truck from a tow yard called "Nightengal's Towing" and it was abandon in a feild and had all the windows busted out of it and that's it. So it sat in my backyard for atleast 4 years before ever getting seperated from it Courier  frame.  applaudd applaudd applaudd
