some progress pics should be up tonight or tommorow. we got the body off of the 2wd frame, and put the cab, front clip and box on the 4wd frame. nice to see it hole again. now i gotta start measuring out for tubing to make the subframe, and start fabricating......

Wow is that ever gonna be nice. I've got a 71 GMC that I'm makin a 3/4 ton flat bed 4x4. It's on hold, along with my other projects right now. Yours is looking very nice though.
