The Daycab

[Stepside]

Great start on the daycab! When I built one, I too was looking for a solution to get access to the battery and turn the truck on... I didn't want to chop and hinge the hood, so I looked around at what I had... and I used the rear door from the sleeper. I cut it in half and glued it back together... a lil sanding and body work and you're good. I got this idea from Ed.










what are the plans w/ this rig???

Really? Okay. It looks like a M35A2 to me. A deuce-and-a-half. Guess not. Your truck is awesome though!

That's what I was thinking! And, it's probably what I'm gonna do! What did you use to cut the middle section out?
