Looking good. I'm rootin' for ya. Thanks for the color info. Who did your rollbar? And did you buy the diamond plate bed or did you fabricate? If you bought it, who did you buy it from and how much?
Thanks

Thanks HigginsHorse! We are going to make it...barely!!!

The cage started out as Protofab's basic 6 point, then we added the seat riser, tire rack and side bars. I am very happy with the way it tured out.

I did a cad drawing of the plate, bought the material ($140) and called in a favor from a local fab shop to cut it. There was plenty of plate so I also had a couple of dash covers and several steering cover plates cut at the same time.

Admiring their hard work....It's hard to believe less than 2 weeks ago this truck had no paint!

Wow, that was fast for a total rebuild. Looks great too. Now, I could use a little help from your friends if they have anything left in them :)

This has been a prime example of TEAM WORK!!!!!!!!!!!! If anyone of us would have slacked off, we would not have made it! This was mostly a five person crew with support staff, if you will, and it took us all! And not one cross word, now that's amazing!

This was taken 2 1/2 weeks ago.

WOW!!!

2bad, they all say never again...but we'll see...

Very sweet! Hopefully, I will be able to make it this weekend...my plans have been thrown a wrench, but not the one I needed. I would love to see it in person. Great looking truck!

I made sure that I looked at that ride yesterday and they really did a wonderful job and the owners were a pleasure to talk to.
