After you cut a couple cabs apart you start to get use to it.

Cutting it up and gluing it back together is the easy part. The hard part is putting on the filler and getting it sand down strait and smooth.

For the frame I would go with black or a darker gray considering the color choice for the truck.

Thanks I appreciate it.




I have been trying to find some better pics of this year of truck. Hanks truck pics are not helpful as they are like most I have found and the pics are taken from to far away. I have also looked at the AMERICAN TRUCK HISTORICAL SOCIETY photos page but they are not much better. I wish I had a truck close to get pics of or if someone had one close that could get me some good pics.
